Trump pardons sailor incarcerated for mishandling classified evidence

in news •  7 years ago  (edited)

So Kristian Saucier was a navy sailor and took images of a classified area of a submarine and later was incarcerated for his conduct. On Friday Sarah Sanders discussed the pardon. Saucier was released from jail in the previous year but continued to be incarcerated under house arrest. Saucier faced up to 10 years in jail for his offenses.

Saucier was 22 years old at the time of his conduct and served a year of his sentence. Saucier could not believe the pardon until seeing a picture from an email and then possibly speaking with the president later in the day Friday. Saucier plans to move forward with his life.

Differentiating Saucier from Secretary Clinton is interesting. Perhaps military as opposed to civilians have different levels of duties? Perhaps Saucier had the intent element Comey seemed unable to find with Clinton--even though against the advice of security hawks, she continued to use what was presumably her black berry despite knowing it was unsecure as discussed in the Judicial Watch article below. But hopefully her disregarding security experts consciously would not be the intent to mishandle classified information.


It will be interesting what happens and what we think 5-10 years from now. Was Saucier treated differently than the average plebian would be? Should things be classified--or is such nonsense completely incoherent with the pretense of democratic society? Should classified programs be spying on us all worldwide like cattle through our phones, tvs and likely military satellites? What do you think? What do you believe? What are your hopes and dreams?

Was Saucier treated differently than the average plebian would be?

Given that he was an average plebian, "no", on the other hand Hillary was clearly given preferential treatment.

No, we don't need the government spying on people without a warrant. Can you help my effort to empower some victims of socialism?

cool post, yea it is sad where we seem to be going.

Thanks for your support!

your welcome, hope things are going well!!

well it is going pretty well but I miscalculated my rewards schedule and I won't have the 10 SBD I pledged on time, so I am a little disappointed about that.

on time for what? yea the markets are different, lots of things shifting incentives on here.

I wanted it when my post paid out but I was a little short of the amount I pledged so I have to wait a bit

yea idk good luck

The sentence was too long if I may say, everyone has a right to their privacy, so I don't support the spying of individuals either through phones or satellite

thanks, hopefully we will be free someday!!

Do you have an Apple?

Not sure for him, I just switched to linux.

Apple and China are in a Tree.

yea in someways, a lot the same, as they discuss in the movie network some similarities, ultiamtely though apply does not have the overt use of force in its tool kit like the government of china

Apple cloud servers are going to China, the keys, the passwords, the control, the governmental legality, etc.

idk, China sounds like a police state--but so is America, but supposedly Merica is a little less retributive and supposedly has more protections of individual dignity

America was built on the 3 or 4 branches of governments, the separation of powers, the first 2 amendments, and that helps, and the Americans must continue to do as much as they can before liberals continue to destroy the world starting with the United States in more ways than we can fathom.

Thanks for comparing this to Clinton because that stimulates perspective and reflection and honesty and the crazy Comey intent theory is fundamental and vital in talking about.

Society benefits from accelerated perspective through the arts and sciences of comparing, contrasting, relating, through content, context, course, care. Please talk to people about these things, everybody, especially as some people are not really thinking about what the Hell mister Soros is and has been doing in so many countries for so many years.

Yea I really don't understand the difference. Hopefully we can achieve a society where all are treated equally under the law.

What do you think about #qanon?

not sure, could be real, could be pro trump messaging, could all be psyop, very odd they are going off on Edward Snowden who changed the narrative on state mass surveillance.

How do you feel that McCabe is gone?

Not sure, just another bureaucrat gone ultimately. Sound like he may have done softball investigation but idk? Also isnt he the one whose wife took a ton of cash from Clinton campaign?

His wife probably did.

isn't he the one who ultimately recused himself from the investigation after managing it a ton, like 2 weeks before the election, after practically all was said and done? Sure looks suspect, will be interesting to find out what may have lost him pension, since bureaucrats love state benefits collected from people at the barrel of a gun.

interesting,

Very complicate matter ;-(

yea, i dont know what to think of incarceration, not convinced it is an all too useful deterrent since so many are locked away, many for vicitmless conduct.

:-)
