Politico: Trump pardons sailor in submarine photos case

President Donald Trump has pardoned a Navy submariner sentenced to prison for taking photos inside the classified engine room of a nuclear submarine, the White House announced on Friday.

Saucier will still have a hard time and that is probably just.

He will have such a hard time, I wonder if his marriage will survive.

Still I consider the pardon just.

If we are not going tom prosecute Hillary "ROTTEN" Clinton, the crook, then why prosecute Saucier.

Throw Peter Strzok, Comey and Mueller in there as well.
