The U.S. Navy Judge Advocate General’s Corps office in Pensacola, Florida, last week received from American Red Cross CEO Gail McGovern a typewritten letter asking “military personnel with a stake in Donald Trump’s political ambitions” to immediately cease extrajudicial tribunals and halt human rights abuses against persons detained unlawfully at Guantanamo Bay.
Moreover, McGovern’s 3,650-word screed accuses JAG of “rigging” proceedings in a manner that either outright denies defendants a right to legal representation or “stacks the deck” against them with manufactured evidence, hearsay, and panel members who are ordered to deliver guilty verdicts resulting in “inhumane” executions.
In one paragraph, McGovern specifically mentions Erik Hooks, the former FEMA deputy director beaten to death by a pair of MPs who succumbed to irrepressible rage following days of listening to Hooks’ merciless provocations. McGovern wrote that Hooks was a loving family man and faithful FEMA employee before JAG “kidnapped” him and tossed him in GITMO, where he “stood no chance of ever leaving” even if he had lived long enough to stand trial for “imaginary crimes.”
Details revealed in McGovern’s letter, a Pensacola source told Real Raw News, proved to JAG that they have traitors among them. In one sentence, she mentioned a fact JAG hadn’t published or previously told RRN: one of the MPs carved his initials in Hooks’ back with a pocketknife. McGovern could’ve learned that detail only from someone on the inside, one of perhaps a dozen people, our source guestimates, present when the busted and bloody corpse was zipped inside a polyurethane pouch and placed in storage.
“They obviously have some soyish people there that can’t stand the sight of spilled Deep State blood and contacted Red Cross,” our source said, but he wouldn’t say if JAG had identified the snitch.
McGovern’s writings continued by accusing JAG of “war crimes,” highlighting in yellow marker 34 alleged violations of Articles 2 and 3 of the Geneva Conventions, including willful killing, torture, or inhumane treatment; willfully depriving a protected person of the right to a fair trial; taking of hostages; extensive destruction and appropriation of property not justified by military necessity and carried out unlawfully and wantonly; unlawful deportation, transfer, or confinement; deprivation of sleep and nourishment; and targeted killings. Her letter namedropped Vice Admiral Darse E. Crandall, imploring him to at once release all persons imprisoned unlawfully at U.S. military institutions both in the U.S. and abroad, and encouraging him to surrender command and turn himself over to the International Criminal Court in the Netherlands.
McGovern also seemed to have an unhealthy infatuation with President Trump, naming him 34 times. “Let this be a lesson for people that listen to Trump…Trump’s out of the picture…Any protection given by Trump is ending…How is Trump doing this…You’re making terrible mistakes following in Trump’s footsteps…Trump will be all of your downfall,” etcetera.
Our source said copies of McGovern’s grandiose wish list were sent to Vice Admiral Crandall’s office at GITMO and President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago headquarters.
“I don’t know if President Trump read it, but Admiral Crandall did, and he filed it under G, for garbage not Gail McGovern,” our source said in closing. “All her allegations, naturally, are provably false.”
