If tweet fails to load, click here. "Gen Mark Milley may have received a pardon, but his subordinate and legal counsel, Admiral Christopher French did not.
This morning at 1134, I submitted, to both the FBI and DoD leadership, evidence of crimes committed by Admiral Chris French and a coverup by Admiral Darse Crandall. I was provided this information by a whistleblower. Under military regulations I have a duty to report this information and have fulfilled that duty.
Since the initial contact by the whistleblower, a small group of Constitution-defending officers and I vetted what was provided and confirmed the whistleblower’s story through other whistleblowers and with physical evidence.
Everything we have collected indicates that Admiral French’s violations may go back many years and may involve larger official cover ups by Navy leadership and the the DOJ under earlier administrations.
For example, Admiral Chris French who was the 7th Fleet JAG from June 2009- June 2011, allegedly admitted to being involved in the Fat Leonard Corruption case but that he “got away with it.”
As the 7th Fleet JAG he had a duty to report all potential violations of ethics and law while ensuring no impropriety was happening under 7th Fleet jurisdiction. Instead, according to the whistleblower, he participated in the dinners and events put on by Fat Lenard, justifying his actions by saying things like “after the dinners when everyone else went to the strip clubs, I would go back to the ship.”

There's no reason for JAG to ever wear stars. The bloat in senior ranks is scandalous.
For those that don't know, flag officers are coddled and protected like no one else in this nation. They get drivers, people cut their grass, often fly on the equivalent of private jets, and when complaints are submitted against them, they go to a special office whose entire mission is to make the complaints go away.

It feels like things are tightening up. Good. Been way too loose for too long.

*Walking the plank was likely never a real thing.

Will you settle for "hoisted from the yardarm"?

This is why recruitment has been down for the past four years. Too much DEI BS and indoctrination in the services.

He dropped a rank retiring early. He is lucky he isn't at Leavenworth.
quote:He was essentially, Milley's lawyer and a lawyer to what appears to be a very corrupt NSC and CNO.
The Fat Leonard scandal involved bribes paid by Leonard Glenn Francis, the CEO of Glenn Defense Marine Asia, to a large number of uniformed officers of the United States Seventh Fleet in return for classified material about the movements of U.S. ships and submarines, confidential contracting information, and information about active law enforcement investigations into Glenn Defense Marine Asia1.
The scheme was uncovered in 2013 and Francis was arrested in San Diego2.
He pleaded guilty in 2015 and provided information to help federal prosecutors in bringing cases against 33 defendants, including many Navy officers
The investigation resulted in 33 federal indictments, 22 guilty pleas, and Francis admitting to authorities that his company had overbilled the Navy by $35 million to support port visits by U.S. warships

The Navy’s top legal officer has submitted his request to retire after three months in the position, USNI News has learned.
Judge Advocate General of the Navy Vice Adm. Christopher French submitted his official voluntary request to retire at a lower rank, a Navy spokesman confirmed to USNI News in a statement.
“Vice Adm. Christopher C. French has submitted a voluntary retirement request to retire in the grade of rear admiral,” reads the Monday statement from chief Navy spokesman Rear Adm. Ryan Perry.
“If the request is approved by the Secretary of Defense, French will continue to serve as the Judge Advocate General of the Navy until his approved retirement date.”
No further details about why French submitted his retirement request to leave as a two-star were available, with the Navy declining to provide additional information.
French took over as the judge advocate general of the Navy in September, relieving Vice Adm. Darse Crandall Jr. to become the 46th Navy JAG. He commissioned into the Navy in 1992 through the Judge Advocate General’s Corps Student Program and graduated from Villanova University School of Law in 1993.
He previously served as the fleet judge advocate to U.S. 7th Fleet commander, as well as the staff judge advocate to Carrier Strike Group 5 and the legal officer aboard USS Nimitz (CVN-68), according to his Navy biography.
He had also served as Deputy Judge Advocate General of the Navy; legal counsel, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; staff judge advocate, U.S. European Command; deputy legal advisor to the National Security Council and as special counsel to the Chief of Naval Operations.

... this right here may expose something, something about Senator-whose-name-we-shall-not-speek, involvement in very, very shady business ...
just might begin the Unraveling ...
