CAVASSHIPS Podcast [Sep 10, ’22] Episode 65…The Scandal that Keeps on Taking **Repost

Welcome to the CavasShips Podcast with Christopher P. Cavas and Chris Servello…a weekly podcast looking at naval and maritime events and issues of the day – in the US, across the seas and around the world. This week…the long-running Fat Leonard scandal took an unexpected turn when Leonard Glenn Francis – also known as Fat Leonard – fled federal house custody in San Diego on September 4, disappearing and presumably on the run. Ironically the escape came just a couple weeks before he was finally going to be sentenced in court. We’ll talk about what is probably the longest-running scandal ever to hit the US Navy with Craig Whitlock of the Washington Post, one of the key reporters doggedly pursuing the case.
