A felon pleaded his case on ‘Fox & Friends.’ Days later, Trump pardoned him.

Some 1.6 million people tune in to “Fox & Friends” every morning, but when Kristian Saucier told the network why he believed he should be pardoned for his national-security-related felony conviction, he clearly had one very specific, very powerful fan of the show in mind: the viewer-in-chief.

“Obviously, there’s two different sets of laws in this country, for the politically elite and for those lower-level individuals, Americans like myself,” he said on the network Sunday. “And I think that’s very upsetting on a basic level for most people. It should be.

“I accepted responsibility. I didn’t go to trial. I pleaded guilty. I said, ‘Look, I made a mistake when I was a young kid, and my family still continues … to be punished for that mistake.’ Whereas Hillary Clinton not only was not punished, but was allowed to run for the highest office in the country, and that should be very upsetting to the American people.”

Less than a week after making that plea, Saucier had his pardon from a man who has uttered very similar words and happens to be the leader of the free world: President Trump.

2. Its not hard to imagine Obama pardoning...

...under similar circumstances — but without fanfare. This guy sounds like he was willingly led by the nose by a bunch of dirtbags. It’s hard to think of him as deserving mercy.

4. It's real hard to imagine Obama pardoning him. His sentence hearing........

At sentencing, Saucier unsuccessfully arguing for probation rather than imprisonment on the basis that Hillary Clinton was not indicted for her email controversy.

He was well aware that what he did was illigal and should have served the 5 to 7 years that the sentencing guidelines called for. Not one year.

7. The "Deep State"--or anybody

trying to get rid of twitler--should be jumping on how weak he is, and how easy to manipulate. Should be front page news, all the time.

Make the quitter quit.
