So let’s get this straight...UCMJ is used to convict, sentence him to prison, gets a pardon, and it’s HRCs/Comey/Obama’s fault? Where was the ‘political connection’ with what he did and ANY of the three? This makes him more of a POS to me. You did wrong. You whined all about it, get a pardon and refuse to take responsibility for your actions and move on? FOH. None of the three listed had anything to do with him taking pics. Why not sue the CNO, VCNO, USMC Commendant, Army CoS, AF CoS, all the branches SEA’s, the Bears for not making the Super Bowl since 85, the S1 shop at 82nd Div HQ, Micheal Bay for not making a bad movie over this? Or do the honorable thing and thank the president for the pardon and get on with your lowly life? You got off. Be happy.

He wasn't given UCMJ, he was tried in Connecticut at a US District a court. He should have been tried UCMJ, his complaint is that they did this specifically to take year from the Clinton scandal.

SSG Warren Swan
Top for some odd reason when I had my TS/SCI there was this section where you were briefed on what you can/can not do in a SCIF. You even sign that you acknowledge the training and the repercussions of a mistake. Taking photos, cell phones, USB type devices and anything that could broadcast or receive a signal was forbidden. This man had the same clearance as I did, had to have gone through the same briefing I did, and signed everything I did. He was even the same rank as me, so this whole ‘kid’ BS goes right out the door. Claiming it’s a ‘minor’ offense is BS being I’ve seen less loose their clearance and MOS. ‘Take responsibility for your actions’...standard leadership principle. I’ve fucked up ROYALLY in my career and NEVER said ‘cuz so-n-so did it and got away with it I should too’. I damn sure thought it a few times, but when I answer to the man, it’s ME SSG Swan answering for my fuck up. Not SSG Swan trying to deflect the punishment I got onto GEN Patreus, or even equate what I did to what he did. I fuck up, I own it, take my beating and move the hell on. Apparently this ex-sailor didn’t get the leadership memo.
