Ex-Navy sailor pardoned by Trump says he's suing Comey and Obama

A former Navy sailor who is one of five people to receive a pardon from President Donald Trump is planning to file a lawsuit against Obama administration officials, alleging that he was subject to unequal protection of the law.
Specifically, Kristian Saucier, who served a year in federal prison for taking photos of classified sections of the submarine on which he worked, argues that the same officials who meted out punishment to him for his actions chose to be lenient with Hillary Clinton in her use of a private email server and handling of classified information.
His lawyer, Ronald Daigle, told Fox News on Monday that the lawsuit, which he expects to file soon in Manhattan, will name the U.S. Department of Justice, former FBI Director James Comey and former President Barack Obama as defendants, among others.
“They interpreted the law in my case to say it was criminal,” Saucier told Fox News, referring to prosecuting authorities in his case, “but they didn’t prosecute Hillary Clinton. Hillary is still walking free. Two guys on my ship did the same thing and weren’t treated as criminals. We want them to correct the wrong.”
Daigle said that a notice about the pending lawsuit was sent to the Department of Justice and others included in it in December. There is usually a six-month period that must lapse before the lawsuit actually is filed.
“We’ll highlight the differences in the way Hillary Clinton was prosecuted and how my client was prosecuted,” Daigle said. “We’re seeking to cast a light on this to show that there’s a two-tier justice system and we want it to be corrected.”
While campaigning, and after taking office, Trump frequently voiced support for Saucier, who in March became the second person he pardoned.
Trump often compared the Obama administration’s handling of Saucier’s case with that of Clinton.

Other sailors took pictures of the same areas of the sub and were not prosecuted. But it was reported that Saucier failed to cooperation with investigators (tried to destroy evidence that he had shared the pictures, after he had claimed he had not), and that was a factor in whether he was prosecuted.

He would have a better chance if his lawyer knew what prosecuted meant.....

He wasn’t selectively prosecuted. If anything, he benefited from Hillary getting a pass. He would still be in prison if Hillary wasn’t given special treatment.

Its a valid point, do we have one or two justice systems? Is this feudal Europe?

The libtards are right, and I agree with them on this one.
This sailor should not have been pardoned. What he did was reckless, and he knew it.
I see the disparity in how the laws are enforced on some and not others, and it infuriates me, but to pardon this sailor, who was clearly guilty, rectifies nothing. Go after Hillary and put her in jail. That is the way to level things out.

He needs to be reinstated into the Navy and receive all back pay and allowances.

Why did Trump wait to pardon him? Why now? Why law suit in NY?

Not a very bright person if he worked in a “security sensitive” industry and let it be known that he had photos of it.
