Sounds like a pretty firm case against the alleged. Even his own mother and his daughter's mom refuted his alibi claims to police.

I'm surprised though that, according to this article, he's only being charged with fleeing the scene of an accident and not with vehicular manslaughter as well.

I agree. Grusch could have been misled and bought into lies/misinformation. But at the very least I think HE believes it or wouldn't be putting his career in jeopardy by reporting to Inspector Generals and testifying to Congress.

The above poster makes it sound like he is likely to be lying about it, which I think is a weak character attack and not arguing in good faith.

Don't forget, along with the oral and written testimony, Grusch supposedly provided enough evidence to the ICIG to warrant an "urgent and credible" threat.

Unlike pinky promising, there are serious criminal penalties for lying under oath. It's perjury and counts as a felony and comes with up to 7 years in prison. Not to mention what it would do to your career, especially a career in the military/intelligence.

Great info, thanks for the enlightenment Zabadoh!

 

All I see here is anti-Ukraine spam posted by the same few accounts. Seems clearly biased.

Any humans in here that can chime in?
