A member of the U.S. Air Force is facing significant and rare charges after using his position to demand President Trump’s impeachment and removal from office.
As The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson previously reported, Jason Watson, a US Air Force Major who attended the US Air Force Academy, was arrested following a press conference in July that was sponsored by far-left lunatic Rep. Al Green (D-TX), where he called for his boss, the commander in chief, to be removed and convicted.
He started his speech at the press conference with the oath of office before tearing into the President, describing the American people as “the greatest threat to our Democratic Republic,” arguing that “We have all played a part, myself included, in getting ourselves into this mess.”
Watson continued, “For the past 18 months, we the people have allowed the highest levels of the executive branch of the federal government to violate our Constitution and their oath to it with impunity,” while accusing Trump of “innumerable” impeachable offenses.
He went on to spew left-wing talking points about military operations against Venezuela, Cuba, and Iran, cuts to USAID, immigration enforcement, federal law enforcement’s efforts to subdue violent rioters, lawsuits against media companies and universities, tariffs, and even the UFC fight on the White House lawn.
He was detained AGAIN last week for continuing to advocate for Trump’s impeachment.
On Monday, Watson was hit with a whopping 10 criminal military charges under the Uniform Code of Military Justice for his disgusting actions.
His attorney, Christopher Mutimer, revealed the following charges his client faced to Newsweek.
• Three violations of Article 88 for alleged “contemptuous” remarks about the president
• Five violations of Article 92 for allegedly disobeying orders
• Two violations of Article 133 for alleged conduct unbecoming of an officer
The use of Article 88 is exceptionally rare. Only two such convictions have occurred since the modern Uniform Code of Military Justice was enacted in 1951.
Watson is also the first major in the history of the military to be charged under Article 88.
CNN reports that the Article 88 charges are connected to a June interview Watson did with the Defenders of our Republic Substack newsletter, his protest in uniform at the US Capitol, and an August 17 CNN interview.
Here is his CNN interview:

Newsweek reports that the Article 92 charges allege that Watson violated Defense Department regulations barring troops from speaking out on partisan politics.
Moreover, these charges allege that Watson wrongfully wore his uniform at the Capitol, violated leave regulations by traveling to D.C., and refused to wear his uniform after his CNN interview.
The two Article 133 charges allege that both the protest and the interview constituted conduct unbecoming of an officer.
The 40-year-old Watson could be dismissed from the military and forfeit his benefits if convicted.
