Navy sailor invokes Hillary Clinton defense in bid for clemency over classified photos

Mr. Addicott told The Times that two other crew members also took prohibited pictures but received light punishment. He argues that Saucier was sent to prison because decisions in his case were made in 2015 and 2016 — at the very time the FBI was investigating Mrs. Clinton’s email use.
“In light of the nonaction by the FBI regarding the mishandling of secret and top-secret materials by Hillary Clinton, it is a gross miscarriage of justice for the federal government to make a scapegoat of Kris Saucier’s minor misconduct in order to demonstrate a deep concern regarding the mishandling of classified information,” Mr. Addicott said.
As secretary of state, Mrs. Clinton conducted her email business on a private server maintained at her New York home. Some of the thousands of emails contained classified information, the FBI determined.
The FBI arrested Saucier in May 2015, two months after Mrs. Clinton’s unauthorized server setup became public. FBI Director James B. Comey announced in July that he would not recommend criminal charges against the Democratic presidential candidate. Saucier was sentenced in August.
