In 2009, Petty Officer First Class Kristian Saucier snapped six photos of the highly classified propulsion system of the attack submarine USS Alexandria. In a\u00a0defense filing last week<\/a>, Saucier\u2019s attorney stated that Mr. Saucier simply wanted a record of his time on the sub in order to \u201cone day show his family and future children what he did while he was in the Navy.\u201d However, despite the fact that there was no ill intention, the retention of classified defense information is itself a violation of U.S. law and a felony.<\/p>\n Right about the same time, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, by her own admission, used her private email address, housed on a private server located in her Chappaqua, N.Y., home, to perform State Department business. Because she didn\u2019t use the government system, the department didn\u2019t have her emails on hand when the House Select Committee on Benghazi asked to see them. According to Politifact.com in 2014, Clinton\u2019s lawyers combed through the private server and turned over about 30,000 work-related emails to the State Department and deleted the rest, which Clinton said were about personal matters.<\/p>\n On July 5, 2016, FBI Director James Comey recommended no criminal charges against Hillary Clinton for her mishandling of classified information while she was secretary of state. One of the primary reasons given on why the Justice Department will not prosecute Secretary Clinton is that they found no evidence that Clinton \u201cintended to be disloyal to the United States or that she intended to obstruct justice.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"download\"](\"http:\/\/inmilitary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/download-300x163.jpeg\")
