Army investigating officer Emily Rainey who led group to DC rally ahead of Capitol riots

Bwa ha ha ha ha. She was just on FB yesterday talking about "My chain of command knows exactly what I'm doing and where I went." Trying to be all bad ass. Or how she was "within her rights" to do what she's been doing.

If you look her up, she's been doing a lot of craziness awhile. She started some group after parks were shut down when covid started. She went to a park and tore down the tape that was up. I think she got arrested for that too I can't remember.

This is why she thinks she was a private citizen when she did it:

"A Defense official told CBS News the Army is investigating how many soldiers from Fort Bragg accompanied Rainey to Washington. Rainey had resigned her commission after receiving a career-ending letter of reprimand for her actions at an earlier protest in the Fort Bragg area, Martin reports.

Because the process takes time, Rainey was still on active duty when she led a group of protestors to Washington and is due to leave the Army next month. Officials at Fort Bragg are now working to determine what other soldiers went to Washington and whether they were part of the mob that stormed the Capitol, Martin reports."

So she's not a private citizen. She hasn't been released from the Army and she knows it. She had a month left. But she's an idiot so...yeah.

As Dumb Donald would say " LOCK HER UP"

Very interesting my friend SSG Robert Mark Odom in my best Artie Johnson imitation.

1. Since Army Captain Emily Rainey had already submitted her resignation for her commission before participating, was not in uniform, and was simply participating as a very concerned citizen, and was on leave; I certainly hope this investigation will find her not guilty.
2. The DoD regulations and UCMJ are focused on restricting]or limiting "how an individual may advocate on behalf of a political party, candidate, or elected official."
3. The demonstrations against widespread fraud [more than the usual fraud in every election] are primarily focused on rights of individuals and responsibilities of elected officials including judges.
4. Service members do not lose Constitutional rights while on active duty. Application of the Bill of Rights rights has been evaluated by the federal courts. [summary posted as a comment]
5. Hopefully the incoming Biden administration won't be prejudicial towards her case as the former Obama administration policy was prejudicial towards my 3rd BN/75th Ranger son.

Per https://www.court-martial.com/ucmj-and-politics.html
"Nothing in the rules prohibits or restricts a military member registering to vote or voting, or donating to politicians or political parties; that is the personal choice of each member. What the rules do restrict or limit is how an individual may advocate on behalf of a political party, candidate, or elected official. The greatest restriction is that Active-duty service-members are strictly prohibited from military voting including campaigning for political office or actively taking part in a political campaign - even behind the scenes. This is generally known as partisan political activity: an "activity supporting or relating to candidates representing, or issues specifically identified with, national or State political parties and associated or ancillary organizations."

Per the fox news article you posted my friend Robert.
"Rainey said she attended the Trump rally while on leave and didn’t advertise that she was an Army officer. She said Sunday that her commanders had not inquired about her time in Washington, but she did not immediately respond to a subsequent inquiry about the Army’s investigation.
"I told my bosses before I went that I was going, and I told them when I got back," she said.
Members of the U.S. military are permitted to take part in political organizations and events out of uniform. However, there are caveats. The Department of Defense directive prohibits active-duty service members from sponsoring partisan organizations
Capt. Emily Rainey, 30, had already resigned from her commission before traveling to D.C. last week, CBS News first reported Monday. Though, the resignation process takes time, and she was therefore still on active-duty Wednesday. She reportedly offered her resignation after receiving a career-ending letter of reprimand regarding her involvement in a different protest in the Fort Bragg-area last year.
Commanders at Fort Bragg are reviewing Rainey’s involvement in last week’s events in the nation’s capital, but she said she acted within military regulations and that no one in her group broke the law."
