Before I get started on the latest allegations surrounding President Joe Biden and the illegal storage of documents containing sensitive information in his home, I want to discuss the term “military tribunal.”
A military tribunal works as a military court, but one that isn’t exclusive to military personnel. Civilian parties can actually be the subject of charges. In fact, at one point, the administration of George W. Bush proposed military tribunals in an effort to convict “unlawful enemy combatants,” compared to a regular investigation by, say, the Department of Justice.
You’re probably thinking, “But why aren’t military tribunals exclusive to military personnel?” You’re probably thinking of the military court martial, which does focus on military members. A tribunal, however, investigates others, such as contractors and, in this particular case, even someone as high up as the president.
So why would I suggest such a thing? Because, honestly, this whole situation surrounding Biden and his classified documents is simply a mess. What’s more, not only do these documents contain sensitive information about Ukraine and China, but they were also easily within reach of Biden’s son, Hunter — and we’re all familiar with the trouble he’s gotten into in the past.
Biden and his administration have been cooperative thus far, but that hasn’t stopped House Republicans from forming a committee to look into the matter. The FBI and DOJ have made their inquiries as well, and are reportedly looking into details.
