Eddie Gallagher (soldier)
- ... that Eddie Gallagher, a Navy SEAL accused of murder, was transferred to "less restrictive confinement" by direct presidential intervention, the first such transfer since William Calley's in 1971? Transfer: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1111965027483951105 . First since 1971: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/trumps-war-crime-pardons-could-be-his-most-nixonian-moment-yet/2019/05/20/c212d954-7b19-11e9-8bb7-0fc796cf2ec0_story.html It's an opinion piece but similar insights are elsewhere on the Internet, so not novel synthesis.
- ALT1:... that Eddie Gallagher, a Navy SEAL accused of murder, was transferred to "less restrictive confinement" by direct presidential intervention? Same source as above

- Comment: ALT1 is the same but shorter, although it misses one interesting fact. Note: Considering the accusations at hand, I'd like to avoid a "via Twitter" hook, suggesting it was due to Fox & Friends lobbying, or anything that's too playful. Best keep this entry serious.
