Bruno, here.
Come here.
Oh, a ball for you.
Well, in most U.S.
attorneys' offices, there are no military lawyers whatsoever.
But you do see these JAG attorneys, who are military lawyers, sometimes get appointed as special assistant U.S.
attorneys on military bases.
So, for example, crimes that occur at Fort Knox.
Those are federal offenses.
Oftentimes, the defendants or the parties involved in those cases are themselves military members.
And so in those instances, you would see a JAG officer, military lawyer, appointed as a special assistant U.S.
attorney to handle those cases.
They have the authority, Michael, to show up in any court around the country, but typically that is how they are used in most cases because in most U.S.
attorney's offices, you have career-trained professional people who handle the day-to-day cases that relate to civilian offenses.
Well, you raise a couple issues, I think, Michael.
One is sort of the cultural issues of being a JAG officer versus being a military lawyer.
Perhaps they can adapt, but also the lack of training to appear in this particular kind of court.
JAG officers are well-trained, they're competent people, and they can handle their work.
But that work is different from what occurs in civilian courts.
I think the great example you just gave was this ICE lawyer who got assigned over as a special assistant U.S.
