Fox News champions jailed Marines in Mexico
The Washington Post ^ | June 18, 2014 | Erik Wemple

Fox News host Greta Van Susteren has provided extensive coverage of the case of Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi, who has been in a Mexican prison since April 1 on weapons charges. A veteran of two tours in Afghanistan, Tahmooressi says that he accidentally drove into Mexico at a San Ysidro border crossing, complete with a rifle (AR-15), a pistol and a 12-gauge shotgun, plus a great deal of ammunition. Along with colleague Bill O’Reilly, Van Susteren has pleaded for U.S. intervention on behalf of the Marine.

Thing is, Clinton’s pronouncements on this topic needn’t have been hypothetical. Van Susteren could easily have pressed Clinton on what she had actually done for a Marine imprisoned in Mexico on firearms charges. In August 2012, after all, a 27-year-old Marine veteran by the name of Jon Hammar crossed into Mexico with an antique shotgun and ended up in prison. The event occurred squarely within Clinton’s time serving as secretary of state.

I posted it because of the reference to an American Marine who was held in Mexican jail on HER so-called watch.

I bet if we take Nagin’s busses and start sending the illegals back across the border, this marine will be released tomorrow.
