He maintained contact with a former CNO staffer who was counseled for playing grabass with some females at the office party. Sounds like a thin beef — must be something more there, such as cleaning house of Obama holdovers.

Agree on Jeh Johnson. Amazing how little emphasis the press gave some of his comments, though....

I'm guessing Admiral Moran made some negative comments about political correctness and overreactions in those emails....

Too bad. From everything I heard about him through fellow USNA alumni, he was a good one.

It sounds like he is being pilloried for either content in the emails that indicated he thought the office had been railroaded or that the punishment was unjust (my speculation) or...and if this is the case I have an issue with it...he is simply communicating with the punished officer.

I think it is the former and not the latter, but one can never tell.

And yet, ol’slick could stay in office.
And be celebrated and lauded. Some GOPers expected Billy Jeff to resign because of the shame. Billy Jeff must have heard the same thing I did from a high school phys ed teacher. Shame, smame, Who cares? See how much people remember in a few years. Winning is what counts, don't care if you have sex with a sheep or your little sister. That stuff will go away if you just perform well for the alums and keeping saying its all a lie, a big lie. Which of course it will be.

In his world history class the same teacher asked,’ Was Hitler a bad or good leader? The answer was ‘He was a bad leader, he lost. If you lose you are wrong, win by any means and you are right. That is the logic of history and life in a nutshell’

Yes, I saw Johnson's comments over the weekend.

Unexpected - but, still a day late and a dollar short.

Immigration has been my Number One issue at Free Republic since the Bush-McCain Amnesty in 2005.

Johnson wrote the DACA and the DACA for Parents policy. He supported “Catch and Release” and did nothing to stop the huge expansion of Sanctuary Cities. Legal immigration and new Green Cards stayed above 1 million per year during his tenure. The OPT work visa program and UN Refugee admissions both doubled under Johnson.

One interesting surprise from Wiki:

“For the inauguration of Donald Trump, Johnson was chosen as the designated survivor and would have become the next president if a disaster or attack had occurred.”

“... allegations of misconduct from multiple women during and after a 2016 holiday party at the Pentagon.”

Well, at least they were WOMEN!

Thank you for the detailed clarification and the excerpt from one of your past fitreps. I was writing as a retired Navy officer with a friend who was a PAO, remembering the basics of what he was involved with in CNO’s office.

Thanks for the feedback. You raise a valid point.

Yes, at the CNO level, an officer probably would do the actual writing of the final release. But, and I'm guessing here, that PAO would be basing their content on "subject matter experts" from staff and support personnel. I used to be one of those persons, as a civilian contractor or political activist.

My compliments on your insight! (See also my private reply)
