Former US Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink was hanged to death Friday afternoon only hours after a military tribunal at Guantanamo Bay found her guilty of treason.
The brief, unannounced tribunal began at 9:00 am, with Vice Admiral Darse E. Crandall of the US Navy Judge Advocate General’s Corps presenting photographs and video that showed Brink surrendering $2.2bn in American currency to Ukrainian Ministry of Defense official Lieutenant General Serhiy Shaptala. The transaction took place at Warsaw Chopin Airport, and the video, though grainy, showed a stocky woman with short blonde hair and a round face shaking Shaptala’s hand while Ukrainian soldiers transferred crates of cash from a US C-5 Galaxy cargo plane to trucks on the tarmac.
A defiant Brink offered an implausible defense: She first proclaimed, “That’s not me!” then said the video was false and had been manufactured to incriminate her.
But Vice Adm. Crandall told the 3-officer panel that both US Army Cyber Command and Marine Corps Forces Cyberspace Command had authenticated the media and determined that Brink indeed was the individual shown in the video.
The admiral’s additional evidence included two eyewitnesses who had travelled with Brink aboard the State Department Boing 757 that ferried them from Andrews Airforce Base to Warsaw. Those witnesses were a contracted crewmember and a relief pilot, both of whom testified under oath that they had heard Brink bragging to State Department officials on the flight about how American tax dollars would help Volodymyr Zelenskyy repel Russian troops from “US interests.”
It is unclear how JAG got them to roll on Brink, but they said they had not been coerced and were testifying of their own free will because Brink’s words were deeply unsettling and undermined everything the US Constitution stood for.
“She was literally laughing about how Americans were clueless about how many tax dollars Biden was giving to Zelenskyy,” the crewmember testified. “She had this hideous cackle and was telling [name omitted] and [name omitted] that Biden promised her a promotion to higher position in 2024 if she completed this assignment. She was giddy about it.”
Real Raw News has omitted names under active investigation by the US military.
And the relief pilot said on the witness stand: “I was sitting in the aisle beside Bridget Brink. She had 7 or 8 Smirnov and cranberry juice cocktails during the flight and was laughing uproariously about how she was finally given a chance to “fuck over” Trump’s America. She at length rambled on in a drunken stupor about how she could give Zelenskyy anything he wants.”
It wasn’t long afterward that the tribunal rendered a verdict of guilty and recommended that Brink receive the maximum allowable sentence—death—for her treasonous crimes against the United States and its people. Upon hearing the verdict, Brink shouted at the top of her lungs that she wanted to appeal.
“Appeal denied,” Vice Admiral Crandall said, and added that JAG stood ready to carry out the sentence without delay.
Three hours later, Brink had a rope fitted around her neck. She was still blabbering on about an appeal when the hangman flipped a switch that sent her dropping to her death.
A JAG source told Real Raw News that video of Brink’s misdeeds and execution were sent to Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Kamala Harris, and Biden, with a caption—“This is what awaits traitors who seek to erode the US Constitution.”
