He was guilty though.
He should be glad he got the pardon. This just sounds like yet more silly partisan US politics to me.

One law fits all or the law should not exist. You don't get to give your friends a free pass.

I doubt that this sailor has the deep pockets that it takes to initiate a law suit of this kind. Gotta wonder who's backing him?

He was guilty though, and while Hilary should have been tried in court, her case is irrelevant to the sailor's.
Corruption is human nature, if I was a cop I'd let my mates off pretty much everything except serious crime. I have had cop mates who ignore recreational drug use of other friends.
Go higher up the food chain then the crimes may differ but it's still just old fashioned corruption.

He wasn't found guilty (or even pleaded to) sharing those photos with known foreign agents or going wild with emails all over the place.
Clinton has actually done all that with hundreds of classified items.

This should address the question as to whether or not we are equal under the law.
Asked no minority, ever.

If they were to arrest all the submariners that have taken pictures of classified spaces while onboard, we wouldn't even have enough personnel to operate our submarines. It's ridiculous they arrested him for these photos. Revoking clearance would've been acceptable since we all know the consequences, but espionage charges are way over the top. Hillary should serve a year as well, just so we're treating everyone fairly and not continue operating under a 2-tier justice system.
