RE: Government withdraws and dismisses charges in U.S. v. Card

Hi Haytham,

I’m pulling a few things together for this story. Let’s plan to talk on Wednesday then, if that still works out for you.

Thank you, and enjoy the weekend.

Sincerely, Gidget

Haytham,

Hello. I hope you had a great trip to Idaho. What’s your schedule looking like in the coming days and next week to talk about the Card case?

Thanks,

Gidget

Waldhauser was the decision maker but I am fairly certain that there were some higher lever discussions on this case. I will be in Dubois, Wyoming doing training at the trial lawyers college all of next week, Saturday to Saturday. There is no cell phone service out there. I can do an interview this week or when I return on the 28^th.

Haytham,

That’s great news for him; so Lt Gen Waldhauser made that decision from the IO’s report and recommendation, right? I still have folks to track down for our story, but would he be open to an interview with me if possible at some point in the next week or the coming weeks? Thank you.

Sincerely,

Gidget

Subject: Government withdraws and dismisses charges in U.S. v. Card

I was notified late last night that the Convening Authority has withdrawn and dismissed the charge and three specifications in the case of U.S. v. Card. Maj Card is no longer charged with any offenses. He expects to be reassigned soon.
