Former XO seems to be getting hosed. Is this military justice?

I hope to see more about how this one pans out. It seems "undue influence" doesn't even begin to describe this one. The RADM orders the CAPT to do NJP so that he can be the reviewing officer? Now, I'm not saying the CDR is guilty or not guilty, as I don't have all the facts; however, I'm saying the set up seems to be rigged against him.
It seems the PC Police have jumped all over this one.

Chief - just going off what I read I can't say whether or not the command group is getting hosed or if the punishment was just. There is definitely some unlawful command influence going on. If the CDR did not agree with the investigating officer he should of had the IO investigate further, interview more witnesses, gather more facts, read the minimum/maximum punishments for article violations, etc.
I am not well versed in how the Navy operates but, where was Rear Admiral Lewis' Command Master Chief Petty Officer? I know that I always reviewed and discussed investigations with my commander prior to any recommendations being made. I mean that's part of my job, to keep my commander out of trouble.
I think the Navy legal folks are going to get the punishment removed.
