Friends Of The Border Patrol Report offers Change #1 to newly elected administration and Congress

Chino, CA – Friends of the Border Patrol has released a report uncovering corruption and security compromises within the government titled “Unjustifiable and Impeachable: The FOBP Report on DHS, DOJ, and the Courts. Andy Ramirez has authored this report with a section featuring 50 Exhibits documenting compromises, corruption and unconscionable incidents that go back 15 years in some cases. The report contains two volumes, with Volume I authored by Andy Ramirez, and Volume II written by Attorney John Cavicchi, which primarily addresses the court system. A highly experienced team of legal counsel and retired senior federal law enforcement agents has reviewed and cleared this report. As you will read in the Foreword, authored by Sandalio Gonzalez, retired Special Agent in Charge, Drug Enforcement Administration, this “must read” report reveals corruption the likes of which were unknown by many federal agents.

Section 1 discusses the Department of Homeland Security. You will learn how the White House sabotaged DHS internally during the creation of the department, and how Congress has failed to hold them accountable. Unqualified cronies were placed in control of agencies with critical responsibilities. Identified are a number of compromises in national security in key ports of entry and along America’s borders, which have allowed narcotic and human traffickers to control the borders. Some incidents involving explosives and armaments improperly processed and cleared through our ports of entry are discussed. Our federal law enforcement officers have been obstructed by policies benefiting those being given unequal and unfair trade and economic advantages. These same senior executive service managers have received lavish rewards for advancing the Bush Administration’s policies as stated in the release announcing award winners by the Office of Personnel Management.

Some exhibits identify a well-known sex ring operating within Customs and Border Protection. The Miami Herald reported a number of stories going back over 10 years and instead of thoroughly investigating and firing the participants, Commissioner Ray Kelly’s idea of discipline was to merely transfer the individuals named. Today, these same managers now run the Office of Field Operations and serve in many key positions. The practice called “screw up move up” takes place by utilizing sexual favors with fellow employees to work up the chain of command, and also by violating policies and laws, an employee can screw up, not be charged or fired, and move up the chain of command at a later time. In fact, a CBP Customs Officer named one of the highest-ranking CBP officials in a suit filed in a Miami, Florida, which we present in full. This individual was previously named in the Miami Herald articles mentioned previously, and this unethical behavior is a practice that goes on to this day, as you will learn.

You will also learn how the agents protecting America have been stripped of protections that should guarantee due process. Instead, they face a deck stacked against them, with trumped up charges, and reprisals for reporting security compromises to Congress, covered up by bogus investigations by the Office of Special Counsel, Internal Affairs, and Inspector General to name a few.

Section 2 titled, The Justice Department: Corrupt, Overzealous, and Out of Control goes where Congress left off after their July 17 and July 31, 2007 hearings. Congress looked on the surface of the prosecutions of former Border Patrol Agents Ramos and Compean by U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton. But that is where they started and stopped, the mere surface. The case was the lid to Pandora’s Box and Congress failed to not only go further into the case, but they completely failed to examine a number of prosecutions by DOJ and Sutton. Such cases included the better-known cases against David Sipe, Stephanie Mohr, Robert Rhodes, Gilmer Hernandez, Gary Brugman, and the case against former FBI Special Agent in Charge Hardrick Crawford. In addressing those cases, it was clear-cut that these cases were influenced by foreign government insistence while our own government caved in to pressure. The Rhodes case is fully documented and names former DHS Secretary Tom Ridge as well as former Secretary of State Colin Powell as the leading administration figures who failed to follow due process.

Just as importantly, it asks questions about the prosecutions that everyone, including the Congress and media has failed to ask of DHS, DOJ, and the State Department. It shows Johnny Sutton to be nothing more than a lackey and a propagandist when you consider the very things he accuses his victims of, he has done or allowed to happen himself in the infamous “House of Death” murder case, which took place with the knowledge of the most senior administration officials. The playbook used by DOJ in their pattern of bad prosecutions against law enforcement officers is revealed fully.

Section 3 addresses the court system, and is really an introduction to Volume II by Mr. Cavicchi, which addresses how the courts have allowed suborning of perjury, falsification and/or suppression of evidence by the government, and how in fact they have failed to adjudicate and interpret the laws with impartiality. The courts have gone so far as to ignore Supreme Court rulings, and upheld sham discrimination and retaliation defenses on appeal as well as overzealous prosecutions. Their results show policy being upheld in these weak cases. Mr. Cavicchi addresses, after his statement, a plethora of evidence showing specifically what the courts have failed to address regardless of the inappropriate conduct and practices of the appellate and district courts and federal agencies. It is staggering to consider how far the concept of blind justice is from reality. Surely, this is not what the Framers and Thomas Jefferson had in mind, which you will see with statements of his that are included in the Cavicchi Report.

Our recommendations show a proactive, pragmatic approach of how to fix the problem, which the only way to do so is by appointment of a special prosecutor and an independent investigation. The agencies’ own internal investigations have long resulted in cover-ups and promotions for their fellow cronies. As our report demonstrates, they cannot be trusted to police themselves and for some unknown reason, Congress does not seem to want to do it for them. However, with the new Obama Administration now being put together here is Change # 1. Fix the problems we’ve identified first. We the people have a right to know who is compromised and the right to object to cronies. Keep your promise of change and new blood. We call on the Senate to put an end to the automatic passes for nominated appointees. They must be heavily scrutinized after the last eight years of the Bush Administration’s taking advantage of the blank check so we never again see the type of incompetence and internal corruption we’ve seen.

Our appreciation to those law enforcement officers, primarily whistleblowers, who continue to abide by their oaths to defend and protect the Constitution, and our citizens, and to our Veterans being honored today for their sacrifices given during each war. To read our The report contains two volumes, with Volume I authored by Andy Ramirez, and Volume II written by Attorney John Cavicchi, which primarily addresses the court system.

FOBP Special Reports Presents:

 

Unjustifiable and Impeachable
The FOBP Report on DHS, DOJ, and the Courts

Welcome to our special section dedicated to our report, Unjustifiable and Impeachable: The FOBP Report on DHS, DOJ, and the Courts. Our report was released on Veterans Day 2008 and as I kept writing, one thought stuck with me throughout, "This is not what our Framers intended, nor what our soldiers have died for since the founding of our Republic". It is with our soldiers and officers in mind, that we present this report on a day of rememberence of those who gave all in service to our nation. If you want to skip ahead to the report feel free to click HERE. Otherwise, we present some background points on our report.

Over the past 4 1/2 years we have investigated America's borders, ports of entry, coastlines, and seaports in order to gain an understanding as to why the Executive Branch of the Bush Administration and the Judicial Branch is not getting it done and you will learn why America's security has been compromised and sabotaged. This report goes beyond the Infamous El Paso Case involving former Border Patrol Agents Ramos and Compean that started with FOBP bringing it to the public's conscience. That case was Pandora's Box and rather than stay focused on one lone injustice, we kept looking and digging, and the result is this report. It asks questions that Congress and the media have failed to ask George W. Bush, Johnny Sutton, Silvestre Reyes, and others at long last.

If you are looking for a short report with a couple of names, than you are grossly underestimating the magnitude of the level of corruption. A handful of people could never have pulled off what you will learn. This report is filled throughout with the top names and you will learn just what they have done. We have unraveled layers of corruption and cover-ups by those involved in a way that is simple to follow and understand. Just as athletic teams have to buy into a gameplan and philosophy, the same applies here. people involved had to buy into the policies and plans, and you will learn how this happened, who was involved, and where it all points to.

After reading my report covering DHS, and DOJ, with an introduction to the courts, I encourage you to read Volume II of the report authored by John Cavicchi an extraordinary attorney. His report addresses the courts of Miami and you will be shocked by what you learn. Many things happening in America today including the War on Law Enforcement would not be possible if not for the federal courts betraying the intent as written by Thomas Jefferson himself.

I can't thank everyone enough including our board, friends, and my family for all their support through many tough days that kept me away from home. Sandy, Ruben & Marilyn, Mark C., Steve C., Ron T., John C., Jack W. thanks to each of you for your trust and faith. Special thanks to Chief Bill King for teaching me as a civilian what those leading the patrol today have forgotten. I also extend my deepest respect and gratitude over these past four years to those courageous whistleblowers who at great risk entrusted me to tell their story. I hope everyone who reads this report, takes it seriously, and is motivated to action, because those brave law enforcement officers on the line need you as much as we need them. Thank you to all the donors whose contributions made it possible for us to investigate and uncover the contents within this report. We hope you will continue supporting our work - Andy Ramirez, FOBP Chairman and Founder

Ok, once again. I know you are all getting tired of me asking, but ... Do you trust your government?

How about a show of hands.

Just as I thought. Sad, isn’t it?

What are the odds of Ramos and Compean getting a last minute PARDON by a Bush exiting the White House? At least it wouldn't reek as much as the Mark Rich pardon. Especially since Rich's hottie wife gave Bill his fill to gain his goodwill. Hey! I'm a poet and I didn't know it....but I s'pose it could be verse....

Wonder if The Federalist Papers has anything to add to this when writing your Congresscritters? http://www.usa.gov
