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.

Well, it is nice that they are all caught. On the other hand, when is Da B*tch going to be indicted? What they did is puny in comparison with what she did (may be still doing.)

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.

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!

lack of discipline, morals and ethics across the military... this is the result of eight years of leftist control of the military

That must have been quite a sight when the retired Naval admiral was arrested at his home in tony Coronado, California. That place is full of retired admirals.

Solution: More restrictive rules and endless training for lower ranking military and DoD civilians.

A results of 8 years of obammy styled leadership and what was left as “leadership” in the services. I am so damned glad I retired just after Klinton came into office back in 1992. I only had to serve under that slime for two months and I retired. Thank God, and Greyhound I was gone!!!!

military should have no pensions...none....we can not afford to have people who obviously have no love for their country to act so treasonous, all the while counting down the 20...

lets make military service once again, a "service" to our country...

these people who did this are just arrogant beyond belief...

Here’s the history on ole “Fat Leonard” which names names and is quite specific— this today is at the end of stuff that has been in investigation and conviction since at least 2013.

It’s the tip of the iceberg. Government has been corrupt from the top down for decades. The past few decades they brought us nothing but decline, debt, death while the professional politicians got wealthy. We don’t even know who the heads of our spy agencies work for.
