Also, should I let NCIS question me without you present, even though the Corps is probably going to assign me an attorney as well? If you want me to, I could go to the NCIS bldg tomorrow and ask for the investigators contact information.

Subject: Re: Cpl Johnston I appreciate all the emails and I understand the company is busy..thats why I also understand that I probably won't be getting my phone back any time soon. I have come to the conclusion the last few days that there is no way I could get charged with these false allegations...they will probably attempt to charge us, in return praying that we plead down in order to prevent possible prosecution bc there is no evidence of us doing anything wrong...only evidence of us executing our mission and saving our lives, all while following our roe's. If someone says otherwise then they are either lying or mis informed...Is hearsay allowed to be used as evidence? I read that hearsay is admissable.

Remember that operations take precedence over everything and getting them to do something that their boss didn't direct is an art not a science. If I become too much of a pain in the ass they will simply tell me to go away. Give the deputy SJA a few more days to get back to me. Sue the government because they are screwing with you is a non-starter. Wish I could do I would make a lot (trillions).

Subject: Re: Cpl Johnston I was wondering if you heard back from Cpt. Christafore reguarding my cell phone. I havn't recieved a reply from my ssgt Shipton. I thought I might get the run around on this. They probably don't know where my phone is, as I'm sure they are also busy and don't want to deal with my situation anyways. Also, I might have to send the fee agreement in by mail. I feel like my life is up in the air based on extreme and false allegations against us..when vindicated, is it possible to sue or issue a counter claim of some sort, in order to obtain the monies my wife and I have spent on this case...that is assuming it does go beyond an article 32. I have a whole truck load of "what if" questions because I have no idea what is going on, or what the next step is here..I'm just going to hold off on the "what if" questions for now and just continue to research and work out.

Subject: Cpl Johnston
Capt Christafore,
Good evening. I have been retained to represent Cpl Johnston. I am a
recently retired Marine JA. I mentioned that not to assert status and
instead to convey I understand your situation and that I am an external
element. I would respectfully ask that Cpl Johnston be given access to his
telephone to acquire some information that solely exists on that phone. I
can assure you I am not attempting to insert myself in the process or the
commandâjust asking for a small consideration so that he can take care of
his personal business while he is undergoing the investigative process.
Thanks in advance.
