Look at the dates, happened under the Media Party’s President.
When do Hillary Clinton and Barack 0bama get indicted and put on trial for violating the Espionage Act and the Federal Records Act?
Wow, they’re really dragging out this case.
The ‘Fat Leonard’ DOD bribery scandal involving hundreds of people and at least 60 admirals. Should be receiving much more attention.
Sad what is happening to the professionalism and seamanship in today’s Navy. The public will never be told the real reasons for the recent collisions. Diversity has replaced competence when evaluating people.
If ever an act were treasonous, this is it.
Six years in jail?
Outrageous!
Im sorry, but we are going to have to start hanging thieves.
There are too many of them and they arent afraid of prison.
Key word in the press release is “retired.” As with most of the individuals implicated in this scandal, they were allowed to leave active duty and begin receiving their pensions before facing justice. Retirement pay for a Navy CAPT (O-6) with 30 years of service is $8400 a month; a Master Chief who served the same number of years gets a retirement check of just over $5000 a month. And a CPO who spends 26 years on active duty still gets $2600 a month.
The “excuse” normally given for not taking a retiree’s pension is that the crimes were not related to their honorable military service. But in the Fat Leonard scandal, most of those accepting gifts, bribes and other gratuities were still in uniform, so revoking their pensions would seem to be in order.
However, the chances of that happening are virtually nil. Convicted Congressional crook Randy “Duke” Cunningham collected both a Navy and a Congressional pension while serving a long sentence for corruption, and those payments continue to this day. Heck, the family of FBI traitor Robert Hanssen still gets his monthly pension check; continuation of those payments was one of the stipulations in his plea deal.
Just to play fair.
legal bribery is done by 'giving speeches' like Bill and Hillary did the world over... There are 'rules' for selling access via 'security clearances'... the big boys know how to do it...
Or maybe the crook didn't have a 'D' by his name...
