Well, team Treason is back in TV playing neighborhood ball. Strutting around the ball park like they own the place. Couldn't tell if he had an ankle bracelet.

If you can commit treason to your country, you're capable of any despicable behavior...and are incapable of feeling shame

I thought I saw him taking a walk in the neighborhood last week, but thought I was hallucinating.

No rumors, no finger pointing, all facts.

Come to your own conclusions on the Fat Leonard Scandal... a lot of Officers and Some Enlisted are involved and the investigation is ongoing.

Google is an excellent source for information.

Once more, I agree there is lots here. But please don't believe even half of what you find on the internet. Google brings up everything. Just google your own name and you will find false information about yourself. Today you can't believe anything you see in the news and much less of what's on the internet. None of what you "googled" is facts. Facts will come out at there trial. And 12 of their peers or a JAG council will find them innocent or guilty. And until that happens they are not guilty yet.

I really don't think Lausman's actions, as stated on the indictment, come to the level of treason. He is not accused of sending confidential, secret or any other documents to FL. He did work hard to get ships sent to the "right" docks. He did write glowing reviews and recommendations about the company. He did accept gifts for himself and his wife. He didn't go to the sex parties. Greedy, yes. Treasonous, no.

As to being back home and walking around his neighborhood. Why not? He hasn't been convicted yet. Until the trial or guilty plea, he is a free man and has to be somewhere. His home is here, so here he is.

I still feel he is guilty but I'm not his judge nor his executioner. I'll leave that to the court. My anger goes to the U.S. Navy who is not court martialing these officers and leaving them full military rights and honors. None of them deserve the right to be buried in a military cemetery. I would not want my father or brother next to one of these slime balls.

Remember once get the rank of flag officer, you belong to a very special "old Boys" club and you KNOW it--during opsail & International Navy Review in 1976, I was person escort to retired CNO Admiral Arleigh Burke--it was an eye opener--especially the briefing s concerning foreign naval brass--"personification of incompetence" --"thanks God for nepotism"

Anyone know the trial date?

I still don't think, given the circumstances, I would be strutting around the neighborhood playing sports.
Just saying......

That was my thought. There are many loyal veterans in TV who would probably like to take a swing at him.

I stand by post. I did re-visit Fat Leonard at various sites other than " Google " and found that the reporting is very similar on this case.

Various newspapers Washington Post, N Y Times, Navy Times , AF Times, Stars and Stripes, plus CNN, ABC, and on.

I don't know if you have a motive trying to sway people not to believe reports on google are not factual.

My post was merely to let people know that their are multiple reports from various outlet's on " Google ", regarding this particular case.

And now I will add to that , there are other internet sites that are reporting this case.

Once again, read the reports and come to your own conclusion.

You are right though Google a person's name and wow surprise, surprise..in some cases an eye opener.
