Trump Issues Pardon to Former Jailed Sailor
White House

President Trump took compassion on a misguided former sailor by issuing a 
pardon for a seemingly innocent violation of the law. The Washington Examine
has the story: 
 
President Trump issued the second pardon of his presidency Friday to former

Navy sailor Kristian Saucier, who learned the news while driving a garbage

truck, the only job he could find with a felony conviction. Saucier was

sentenced to a year in prison during the 2016 campaign for taking

pictures inside a nuclear submarine. Trump invoked his case repeatedly

on the campaign trail, saying he was 'ruined' for doing 'nothing' compared

to Hillary Clinton.

Saucier, now 31, was 22 years old when he took the cellphone photos

in 2009. He pleaded guilty to one count of unauthorized retention of

national defense information and his attorneys unsuccessfully requested

the 'Clinton deal,' meaning little if any punishment. The six photos found

on a cellphone Saucier discarded were deemed 'confidential,' the lowest

level of classification, even though some depicted the vessel’s nuclear

reactor. Clinton, by contrast, sent and received more highly classified

information on a private email server. In pleading guilty, Saucier admitted

to destroying evidence after being questioned.

. . .

Sadie Saucier said she notified her husband of the pardon via text

message as he drove his garbage truck through a mountainous area

with poor reception.'I just was able to say 'Hey' via a text message,

'You got a pardon.' All he said was, 'What!' with a big exclamation point,'

she said. "I am very grateful," Sadie Saucier said. 'It's going to be a huge

for our family. And a huge reality when probation calls and the ankle

monitor is taken off, that's going to be a big one.'
