Pardons
We know the President the the Governors can issue pardons. But did you know that it also exists in the military:
Article 60 states that a convening authority may, in his sole discretion, set aside a finding of guilty and dismiss any charge or specification
So, if a Lt. Col is "found guilty last year of sexual assault by a panel of military officers", that the convening authority, a Lt. Gen, can "decline to approve the conviction?". In essence, a pardon. Even stronger than a pardon, really. It's an expulsion of conviction. You'll be hearing plenty about this case.
