A former Navy machinist mate who admitted taking photos inside a nuclear submarine was sentenced to a year in prison Friday, with a federal judge rebuffing a request for probation in light of authorities deciding not to prosecute Hillary Clinton for mishandling classified information on a private email server as secretary of state.
Kristian Sauciers attorneys argued in a court filing last week that Clinton had been "engaging in acts similar to Mr. Saucier" with information of much higher classification. It would be "unjust and unfair for Mr. Saucier to receive any sentence other than probation for a crime those more powerful than him will likely avoid," attorney Derrick Hogan wrote.
U.S. District Judge Stefan Underhill sentenced Saucier to one year in prison and a $100 fine, along with six months home confinement, 100 hours of community service and a ban on owning guns, his legal team says. Prosecutors had asked for six years behind bars.
"We're very pleased," says Greg Rinckey, another defense attorney for Saucier.

I really hope Trump refers to this!
See, some animals are more equal than others.
Foolish Sailor, no one gets the same treatment Hillary and the Obama friends get.
Some are more equal than others, subject!
There was no intent to divulge data .... just show pics to his grand kids.

== ==
How about a ban on his camera?
I’m pretty sure he was told more than once that the rule was NO PHOTOGRAPHY IN THE SPACES!!!
There’s a good reason for that.
point missed
“Some animals are more equal than others.”
“Animal Farm” depicts politics today from decades ago.
And I’m pretty sure hitlary was told “no classified info on any server outside of government ones”.
She got away with it even though she was/is guilty as hell. Her last name is Clinton, and people hate those 3 shots to the head suicides.
It is as it should be. Ask anyone who has served and held a clearance. Mine was TS/SCI with poly. He did wrong and he knew he did wrong at the moment he took the pictures. He now has to accept his punishment.
As for Hillary, she did wrong, she knew she did wrong at the moment she did it, but she will never take responsibility. History will judge her harshly.
Doesn’t make the distinction between the two right, but that’s the way it is ...
I’ve actually re-read that a few days ago. Only takes a couple hours (if that) since it’s like 148 pages long but it’s a textbook example.
How about a ban on STUPIDITY!!!?
It’s a FREAKING CLASSIFIED PIECE OF MILITARY HARDWARE.
I don’t understand the Firearms ban but I’m just a Serf so...
No, I didn’t miss the point. He didn’t think the rules applied to him either. If he had made an innocent mistake I’d be sympathetic.
All are equal???
