While we get to the bottom of another case of prosecutorial misconduct, can we not release these guys on some kind of furlough? They aren't going to run, and they are probably more honest than the guys who prosecuted them.
This men who put themselves in harms way to protect Americans need to be set free.
Well, you could I suppose prosecute the DHS guy for lying to congress, if he did it under oath.
But what does the DHS not having investigation notes it promised to congress have to do with a jury finding two guys guilty?
We can suppose that there is a connection. But if the DHS guy didn't testify in COURT that he had evidence, and if therefore the evidence was not use IN court, what difference does it make? It's a public relations problem.
I note that DHS has not yet said the claims were false, just that they cannot turn over investigation paperwork proving the claims were true.
Which gets us back to the real issue -- when will be see the transcripts of the ACTUAL TRIAL, so we can see what evidence was presented at the trial. Without that, the rest of this is kind of pointless.
BTW, to be accurate, the Department of Homeland Security isn't an arm of the Prosecuter's office. I don't know if he simply relies on their reports and investigations, or if he runs his own investigations, or if he asked them to investigate.
But I don't think we can blame the Prosecuter for claims made by DHS representatives.
And if you think you can get me to defend DHS, nope, not going to do it. I won't flog them like some people, but they are a big agency and can defend themselves.
Heck, the Mexican drug runner is more honest and upstanding than these prosecutors.
