A really good view of how cooked Lakin's goose is, read Philip D. Cave, CDR, JAGC, USN (Ret.) blog on the motion to dismiss. Pay particular attention to the fact that the ruling unequivocally rules that Lakin's orders were lawful!
"The military judge DENIED all of the discovery requests and witness requests related to the birth controversy. This was not unexpected. But what was unexpected was the breadth and detail of the rulings, because of the obvious impact on the lawfulness motion. Clearly the findings and rulings anticipated the next motions session. At the end of the military judge’s reading of her findings, Jensen appeared beaten down. He seemed so affected that for some time he failed to stand when talking with the military judge on the record. LTC Lakin remained impassive as always. The military judge’s findings and rulings seemed also to put a stake through the heart of LtGen McInerney’s affidavit and its relevance to the trial (by inference this would include MG Vallely and MG Curry).
...The defense conceded that with the military judge’s rulings, the orders were otherwise lawful. With that this case is back to the standard case one sees where a Soldier has missed movement and disobeyed orders.
...for all intents and purposes LTC Lakin is dead meat. The real question will be sentencing.
since his case rests upon whether or not pbo is actually able to be potus as he is not qualified as he was not born in the USA or any of its land, it stands that the defense should be able to make their case, insead of having the judge throw their defense out.
You do not appear to be paying attention. He has no defense.
He has his reasons for violating his orders and missing his movements. But the judge has ruled that they are not a defense. There is no appeals court (military or otherwise) that will disagree.

Another point that many of the military lawyers is that Lakin waived of his rights to appeal the Article 32 investigation where he might have actually had a shot at deposing at the very least the officials from Hawaii or for subpoena any records such as the birth certificate and by doing so, severely if not cut off any avenue for appealing the judges ruling on their motions.
I wondered if anybody was ever going to get around to that video. Somehow I am pretty sure that it being so new maybe the whole thing has been reported without some of the words uttered by the judge. Here we go. It is time for THEM to throw around the validity of that word and what it means to THEM.
The word "embarrassment" means (in the sense used by the judge) an unconstitutional infringement by one branch of government on the dedicated responsibilities of another branch. It is a legal term that has nothing to do with anybody's emotional state.
It does not mean that there is any information in the Presidents records that he would be ashamed for anybody to see.

If no one can see it, is that is, then . . . maybe Clinton was right!
