This week, we spoke with 82nd Airborne veteran Michael McGuinness (@beardedcynic473) about a story he knows particularly well: the saga of Clint Lorance, an Army officer convicted of murder in Afghanistan and sentenced to 18 years in prison. As you may know, every war criminal in military prison wants to get RT'ed into Trump's timeline in hopes of getting a pardon. Michael served with Clint Lorance, witnessed his war crimes, and reported him. Then the real story began.

As a side note, let this story be one more piece of evidence in the case we've been trying to make: if Alan West is trying to convince you that someone was framed for murder in the Army, he's always lying.
