Brief bit on Flynn/Uniform Military Code & Article 134 is mentioned. ?? [View all]

I'm trying to find some solid info on how the Military may handle Gen Flynn.

This is all I have so far. And I'm not at all versed in military code. Perhaps someone here is.
What is Article 134?

Article 134: General Article. This article of the Uniform Code of Military Justice is a catch-all for offenses that are not spelled out elsewhere. It covers all conduct that could bring discredit upon the armed forces that are not capital offenses. It allows them to be brought to court-martial.Dec 12, 2017

If anyone here is military or has more finding on this subject I'd appreciate your input.
Thank you.
