A federal judge refused Friday to block the #Pentagon from firing 3 #StarsAndStripes staff members who claim they were illegally disciplined for speaking out about the #military news outlet’s need to maintain its editorial independence.
Judge Trevor McFadden, who was nominated to the bench by #Trump ruled that the #journalists are unlikely to successfully prove that the Pentagon violated their #FirstAmendment #FreeSpeech rights.

4 days ago The Pentagon fired the editor in chief of Stars and Stripes.
Yesterday they broke the story of Elsie Dominguez, a civilian engineer who was raped repeatedly by the Captain of a Navy ship she was on.
A Judge ruled she needs to file a worker’s comp claim. For rape.
They keep trying to silence the press & quash the truth.
Elsie’s story must be told:

As you have it in your power, sir, to do some service to letters, I implore you not to clip the wings of our writers so closely, nor to turn into barn-door fowls those who, allowed a start, might become eagles; reasonable liberty permits the mind to soar — slavery makes it creep.
[Puisque vous êtes, monsieur, à portée de rendre service aux belles-lettres, ne rognez pas de si près les ailes à nos écrivains, et ne faites pas des volailles de basse-cour de ceux qui, en prenant l’essor, pourraient devenir des aigles: une liberté honnête élève l’esprit, et l’esclavage le fait ramper.]Voltaire (1694-1778) French writer [pseud. of Francois-Marie Arouet]
Letter (1733-06-20) to a First Commissioner [Lettre á un premier commis] [tr. Tallentyre (1919)]More about this quote: wist.info/voltaire/85298/

The #subpoenas contain few specifics, asking only that the #journalists testify “in regard to an alleged violation of federal criminal law.” They were issued by #JayClayton, the #USattorney in Manhattan. Clayton, who leads one of the country’s most prominent law enforcement offices, was recently nominated by #Trump to serve as director of national intelligence [ #DNI ].
