Admiral, seven others charged with corruption in new ‘Fat Leonard' indictment

2017-03-15

[MSN] The Justice Department unsealed a fresh indictment Tuesday charging eight current and former Navy officials -- including an admiral -- with corruption and other crimes in the "Fat Leonard" bribery case, escalating an epic scandal that has dogged the Navy for the past four years.

Among those charged were Rear Adm. Bruce Loveless, a senior Navy intelligence officer based at the Pentagon, several Navy captains and a retired colonel from the Marine Corps. The charges cover a period of eight years, from 2006 through 2014.
Sadly, there is much more.

#7 While I welcome this development, I cannot fathom how much our national security was compromised during HRC's time as SoS. It blows my mind that her mealy-mouth non-excuses have thus far allowed her and every single soul associated with that time to evade charges.

#6 Loveless has been working in a supervisory position in naval intel over people who are not allowed to show him things because he had his clearances pulled.
No $hit.

#4 Glad to find out who "Fat Leonard" is since all those charged had some other name.

#3 Regarding the Admiral, Bruce Loveless: I work with a woman who was in his class at Annapolis. She said he has been working at the Pentagon for three years WITHOUT A CLEARANCE!

Which means he's been assigned to 'F Troop' (probably Pentagon off-site location in Crystal City) pending the outcome of an investigation, enjoying full pay and allowances. Obviously the investigation has been ongoing, but now culminating under a Republican administration.

#1 ...If found guilty, those O6s and 07s need to do hard time at Leavenworth, in addition to losing all the bennies. That will get people's attention.
