In a potentially unprecedented violation of privacy, a Navy prosecutor is suspected of spying on the media in an attempt to find leaks in a major war crimes case.
Special Operations Chief Gallagher Edward Gallagher will soon stand trial for stabbing an unarmed ISIS militant to death in Iraq in 2017, as well as shooting two civilians. The Navy SEAL's defense team recently brought forward allegations that the prosecution sent emails with embedded tracking software to 13 lawyers and paralegals affiliated with the case.
Emails were also sent to attorneys for Lt. Jacob Portier, who allegedly conducted a re-enlistment ceremony for Gallagher next to the body of the very ISIS fighter Gallagher is accused of murdering.

Wow! The Navy prosecutor obviously suspected the defense attorneys were leaking information to the media, specifically one journalist, in violation of the gag order. I can see why they want to find the leak but the method they used is also unacceptable. In an effort to discredit the defense team they ended up discrediting themselves...whoops.

And the Navy should. That is life with the Military. It's not the civil world.
