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.

Hillary and friends destroyed and “lost” lots of evidence too. We should be fighting for her to face justice as this sailor did. He served his time, so him being pardoned doesn’t bother me. And isn’t a case like his something that is usually handled in military tribunals? He had a felony conviction so couldn’t find work. That wouldn’t have been the case if tried through military, right?

Either way, I don’t have a problem with the President pardoning him since it does put the spotlight on Hillary’s crimes, and he already served his time.

Just a refresher on Hillary’s destroyed evidence:
Her personal apple server with work emails was never turned over to the FBI

Her MacBook And thumb drive with email archive was “lost”

2 blackberry devices were turned over but without data cards or SD Sim cards

13 of Hillary’s personal mobile devices were lost, discarded, or destroyed with a hammer (yes this is really in the FBI report)

Various server backups were deleted so the FBI couldn’t examine that

After State Dept and Gowdy told her they would be looking into Benghazi, Cheryl Mills & Heather Samuelson, Hillary’s attorneys, used bleach byt to wipe clean copies of Hillary’s emails from their laptops

After Hillary’s emails were officially subpoenaed, her email archive was wiped clean with bleach byt from the Platt River server network

Also after the subpoenas, backups of the platt River server were manually deleted

So even if the FBI would have wanted to truly investigate (they didn’t), Hillary and cronies made it difficult to do so due to LOTS of destroyed evidence

Again, 2 wrongs don’t make a right. But I can’t blame him for wanting her to serve her time and for questioning why he was tried outstde of the military.

So you can take top.secret photos and not be prosecuted as long as you admit yo sharing them?

Great!

Sounds like a good case for him.

So basically he did 10% of what Hillary did to avoid prosecution you say?
