DOJ Arrests Famous Leftist Journalist for Horrific Crimes against Children
American Tribune ^ | September 16, 2025 | Will Tanner

Posted on 09/16/2025 7:48:05 AM PDT by Red Badger

In yet another incident of a leftist being caught doing something unspeakable, Thomas LeGro, a Washington, D.C.-based journalist who has been working for the Washington Post since 2013, was caught by the Department of Justice and charged with various offenses having to do with unspeakably awful crimes toward children.

As background, describing his role in the organization on its website, the Washington Post said, “In 2018, Tom LeGro was part of a team of Post reporters who were awarded a Pulitzer Prize for coverage of the Senate candidacy of Roy Moore and a subsequent effort to discredit The Post’s reporting . . . Tom was promoted to executive producer in 2021, overseeing the Politics, National, International and Technology teams.”

In any case, the DOJ caught LeGro engaging in crimes against children in late June of this year, and dragged him to court nearly immediately so the prosecution against him for his horrific crimes could begin. The charge against LeGro was led by Judge Jeanine Pirro, the US Attorney for the District of Columbia.

Announcing the arrest and prosecution of LeGro in a press statement released on June 27, the DOJ began by saying, “Thomas Pham LeGro, 48, made his first appearance today in U.S. District Court for allegedly possessing child pornography. LeGro, a journalist at the Washington Post and resident of the District of Columbia, was arrested yesterday and taken into custody following a search of his home.”

Continuing, the statement noted that Judge Jeanine was involved with this case, saying, “The charges were announced by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro. Pirro thanks FBI Assistant Director in Charge Steven J. Jensen of the Washington Field Office, and Chief Pamela Smith of the Metropolitan Police Department for their ongoing efforts in this investigation.”

Then, returning to details about what happened and how the DOJ caught LeGro, the statement revealed that his residence had been raided by FBI agents and the horrifying material was found on his work laptop, stating, “On June 26, 2025, FBI agents executed a search warrant at LeGro’s residence and seized several electronic devices. A review of LeGro’s work laptop revealed a folder that contained 11 videos depicting child sexual abuse material.”

Further, the statement indicated that it would appear that LeGro had more incriminating videos downloaded, but had destroyed the computer hard drive on which they were kept, as fractured pieces of the hard drive were found in his residence. It said, “During the execution of the search warrant agents observed what appeared to be fractured pieces of a hard drive in the hallway outside the room where LeGro’s work laptop was found.”

The complaint brought against LeGro added to that, noting that in addition to the fractured pieces of the hard drive being found in the basement hallway, an empty hard drive cover was found nearby and LeGro was arrested trying to leave the basement. Further, that complaint noted that his internet activity had been tracked since early May.

The Washington Post, for its part, responded to the case and accusations by noting that LeGro was placed on leave while the case against him proceeds and said it finds the allegations serious, writing, “The Post understands the severity of these allegations, and the employee has been placed on leave.”

“Tom LeGro” looks more Chinese than he does French, but at least he acts French.

The dude looks the psycho serial killer played by Elijah Wood in Sin City.

Big question - is there any high level Democrat pol or operative who is not a pedophile.

An amazing number of them have been busted for kiddie porn and it's becoming an almost daily event.

Sometimes it seems the ‘democrat criminal community’ and George Soros run the democrat party. It would go a long way to explain their hatred of President Trump.

Charlie Kirk never let his children’s faces be shown in photographs because he thought violent democrats might kill his children. Looking at this ‘journalist’ maybe Charlie also feared the democrat weirdo community.

It does no good to pretend that homosexuals are not tormented sick people, predatory and corrosive to America.

Yeah, that would likely be Vietnamese, but found a way to insult three countries in one sentence.

Smeared Roy Moore as a pedo ...

Turns out to actually be a pedo himself.

Remember this NEXT time some collection of smarmy jackasses tries to portray a Republican as a perv. The 'Rat Party, like the NSDAP, is shot through with perverts.

Ever wonder what happened to the thousands of young boys and girls democrats ‘lost’? No record of where those midnight fights of young illegals were taken or dropped off. Paul Ryan was such a gullible idiot he thought the 5 years olds dropped over the Wall were here to pick cherries.

Hang the SOB in the public square, along with any co-offenders, and be done with it. Let’s stop wasting time with these demons. Remove them from society.

Just “sometimes”???? ROTFLMAO!!!! They OWN the communist RAT party that’s trying to kill ALL of us and overthrow the USA.
Soros and his vile ilk and spawn should be up for RICO charges and sedition.
How that evil POS ever came to become a USA citizen is appalling.
