(WASHINGTON) -- Nine high-ranking U.S. Navy officers, including one former admiral, have been charged with trading classified information in exchange for travel, dinner and prostitution services from a foreign defense contractor -- the latest charges in the widening probe, according to the Justice Department.
According to the Justice Department, the Navy officials allegedly took in expensive travel and entertainment expenses as well as prostitution services while steering contracts toward the company, Glenn Defense Marine Asia (GDMA), and blocking its competitors.
They allegedly used fake names and foreign email address to keep their actions secret.

A total of 25 people have now been charged in the corruption and fraud scheme, including 20 current or former Navy officials and five from GDMA, a Singapore-based foreign defense contractor formerly run by Leonard Francis. Half of the 25 have pleaded guilty so far.
Charges should include espionage.
BTTT
I’m so ashamed of these people...I can’t hardly stand it.
Today’s criminals ( and this one is disgusting) don’t realize the powerful and even simple (cameras) that law enforcement has today to catch you.
Any of my youthful indiscretions would have been landed me in some trouble today as I would be so easy to catch.
Didn’t do anything big but there was a day when there weren’t cameras everywhere and tech was so FAR from what it is today.
This must be why DJT looked so somber on his walk to Marine 1 this morning. I sensed he was operating on a newer plane.
I also wonder how many boys were supplied by the pimps.
Put them on a ship at sea and hold a Captains Court.....
I don’t believe walking the plank has ever been rescinded....
Aaaaaargh!!
Keep draining the swamp President Trump! (eventually you’ll get to Hillary and Obama and the rest of the Dems)
Suppose there were a reason for Civil War II, and how you would manage with virtually infinite cams.
It’s a worthwhile thought experiment.
Something is wrong here.
“The officials were arrested this morning across the country — in California, Texas, Pennsylvania, Florida, Colorado and Virginia — and will be tried in federal court in San Diego, California.”
“A total of 25 people have now been charged in the corruption and fraud scheme, including 20 current or former Navy officials and five from GDMA, a Singapore-based foreign defense contractor formerly run by Leonard Francis. Half of the 25 have pleaded guilty so far.”
With all respects, this seems a little strange:
They were arrested in multiple state THIS morning, across country, and half have already pleaded guilty??????
I doubt even arraignments on 10% have been conducted at this point!
That’s interesting.
I’m not for sure but those are probably the states they originally came from and work out of Navy in San Diego.
The Obama Legacy in action.

Funny how NO dates are given, isn’t it?
This article dares to publish them... W’s last two years, and all but the last two years of the Fraud.
Probably investigators had gotten some them to cooperate in exchange for a plea deal, and today they were formally charged as part of the deal... and the journalists used the word "arrested" instead of "charged" to spice up the story a bit.
lack of discipline, morals and ethics across the military... this is the result of eight years of leftist control of the military
