JAG Hangs Asst. Defense Sec. Tanya Skeen

The United States Navy Judge Advocate General’s Corps on Wednesday executed Assistant Secretary of Defense for Acquisition Tanya M. Skeen, the culmination of a military tribunal that took place January 24 and which RRN has opted not to play-by-play because it was procedurally identical to a half-dozen other tribunals that saw Vice Admiral Darse E. Crandall prosecute Deep Staters with a penchant for thriftily giving American tax dollars to Ukrainian officials.

As reported on December 19, U.S. Marines arrested Skeen and a “male companion” in Charlottesville, Virginia, on December 16 based on evidence she had surreptitiously wired $35 million to Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s personal bank account. The amount was a pittance compared to what other Deep Staters had sent Ukrainian officials, but JAG nonetheless indicted her for treason, defrauding the U.S., and aiding and abetting the enemy. The charges earned her a one-way ticket to GITMO, where she’d been held in pre-trial detainment until her tribunal and subsequent execution.

Highlights of the tribunal included familiar Deep State theatrics, promises of vengeance, and emotional outbursts. She refused to explain why she had given Zelenskyy U.S. money and said she followed orders. She told Admiral Crandall he could verify that fact with Lloyd Austin.

When told that Austin died from a Russian cruise missile strike in Ukraine, her face went pale, and her jaw dropped. As hers was the only name on a DOD financial transaction report, the admiral said she would be held accountable alone.

The three officers weighing the case quickly found her guilty and, somewhat surprisingly, recommended she get the noose. The lead panelist, a Navy captain, opined: “The crime itself is an act of treason and the deciding factor in our judgment. We agreed the punishment fits the crime even if it was $10,000 or $10.”

Admiral Crandall had accepted their recommendation and sentenced Skeen to death.

She was escorted to the gallows Wednesday morning. Peculiar for a Deep State stooge, Skeen accepted Last Rites but stopped short of redressing her crimes. “I’ve only ever tried to serve my country as I understood how to serve it. Apparently, some authority thinks I’ve engaged in improprieties. What more can be said?”

Her hair fluttered in the morning breeze. As the hangman started slipping a sack atop her roped neck, she said, “No. Please. If I’m to die, I want to go out with eyes open.”

“As you wish,” Adm. Crandall said.

Her neck survived the drop, and she died slowly, over a few minutes, her lips turning blue from cyanosis as the rope abraded her skin. She was officially declared dead at 10:37 a.m., January 31.

Real Raw News asked a GITMO source about Skeen’s male companion.

“He’s still detained and will remain so. All I can say is he’s not a U.S. government official, but that doesn’t mean he’s innocent,” our source said.
