Trump preparing to use a pardon to highlight the depth of Hillary's national security crimes
American Thinker, Mar 3, 2018, Thomas Lifson

On the campaign trail, Donald Trump repeatedly referred to the case of Navy sailor Kristian Saucier, who was sentenced to one year in prison for taking pictures on a submarine that were deemed “confidential” – the lowest rung on the ladder of national security secrets. Candidate Trump compared Saucier’s severe punishment for this comparatively minor infraction to Hillary Clinton’s exoneration by James Comey for far more serious breaches in using an unprotected server in a bathroom to house top secret and beyond documents.

The next chapter is about to dawn. Steve Nelson of the Examiner reports:  The Justice Department is processing a pardon application from former Navy sailor Kristian Saucier after denying him a waiver to apply for a pardon last year.  This is a departure from normal pardon practice: ...

Assuming that these formalities are concluded, the stage will be set for President Trump to sign a presidential pardon in front of the cameras, with a grateful Saucier (who has completed his term) beside him, ready to describe his infraction and the prison term he already served,  and compare it to Hillary Clinton escaping indictment or punishment through James Comey taking upon himself an authority he did not have, to decide that she should not be indicted.

So the only reason this kid is getting a pardon is because Hillary Clinton hasn't been locked up yet?

It's a stunt.  The case of this former sailor was well known during the campaign.  He could have pardoned him right away, if he really cared.  Instead, he has let it drag out this long and has pardoned Arpaio in the meantime.
