Donald Trump launched Friday's scramble by the media to decipher his latest tweet by appending it with the warning, “Remember sailor!”
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/989813047773614080
Tweeted Trump: “Is everybody believing what is going on. James Comey can't define what a leak is. He illegally leaked CLASSIFIED INFORMATION but doesn't understand what he did or how serious it is. He lied all over the place to cover it up. He's either very sick or very dumb. Remember sailor!”
It's likely Trump may be referring to the case of Petty Officer First Class Kristian Saucier who was convicted of retaining classified defense information after taking photos of the interior of a nuclear submarine.
"Remember sailor!" likely refers to Kristian Saucier, a sailor Trump pardoned after he pled guilty to taking photographs of a classified area of a submarine. Trump thinks Saucier was treated more unfairly than Comey has been, thus the pardon. https://t.co/1k7qvkM5to https://t.co/0AH0zzBAci
