Well . . . He was unlikely to be cleared if he told the truth so he rolled the dice. However, I suspect that he would NOT have been charged for lying on his SF-86 if he had not compounded the issue by lying to investigators in a separate investigation.

:Lying on his SF-86 was an easily proven additional charge. I have some political comments about the sentence but I will keep them to myself.
