Maj. Matthew Golsteyn, an Army Green Beret recently charged with premeditated murder of an Afghan man, is angry because had he not publicly admitted to it in a live interview on Fox News, he doesn’t think he would have been charged.
According to a Monday NBC News report, he thinks his public appearance drew attention to his actions.
“I’m here right now because of that interview,” he told NBC News.
The CIA initially launched a probe into Golsteyn’s actions in 2011, but didn’t charge him.
President Donald Trump tweeted that he would review the case. He could use his pardon power if Golsteyn is indicted.
At the request of many, I will be reviewing the case of a “U.S. Military hero,” Major Matt Golsteyn, who is charged with murder. He could face the death penalty from our own government after he admitted to killing a Terrorist bomb maker while overseas. @PeteHegseth @FoxNews

No shit… What were you expecting, an award for admitting to a war crime?
Dude, you had already gotten away with it after the polygraph and the first investigation, all you had to do was keep your mouth shut.
He believes that admitting to a killing on live TV was a factor in having murder charges brought against him?
Ya think?
(Remember, this guy was one of the best of the best. Makes you wonder what the rest are like.)
From the NBC News article:
I’m down! Let’s do it! Because this shit (organized murder as the first option in lieu of an actual foreign policy) has got to end!
He’s spouting bullshit. There’s a difference between shooting an enemy in the field and executing him after he’s been captured. One is legal under international law, the other is a war crime.
Appears to be a Trump wannabe in self-incrimination. Go to jail, big mouth, too arrogant to believe he’s not above the law, again - a Trump wannabe.
