A former criminal courts judge for 25 years, Congressman Ted Poe, has this to say about this unprecedented DHS cover-up:

Under questioning by Culberson, Skinner admitted DHS did not in fact have investigative reports to back up the claims: "The person who told you that misinformed you," Skinner reportedly replied.

This prompted a startled and angry response from Culberson, who charged Skinner's office with lying to the Texas congressmen and painting Ramos and Compean as dirty cops.

Responding to Skinner's testimony yesterday, Poe said it "explains why DHS has been stonewalling Congress."

"DHS didn't turn over the reports to us to back up their September 26 accusations for one simple reason – the reports never existed," the Texas congressman said.

"Why did it take DHS four months to admit their error?" he asked. "I wonder how much more has DHS told the public and Congress about Ramos and Compean that simply isn't true?"

Poe said he's determined to get to the bottom of DHS's claim.

I hardly think an experienced criminal judge would qualify as overly emotional or non-thinking. He's seen it all and this has shocked him to the core.

THINK ABOUT IT: Why would the federal government look for a hardened criminal drug smuggler and give him immunity - not once, but TWICE - to testify against American law enforcement officers who verbally reported the shooting to their superiors? Why would the federal government lie to Congress and try to paint the LEOs as "rogue cops" when they clearly were NOT? Why has the prosecution been caught in several egregious lies about the case, including lying to the defense attorneys about the ballistics reports, and lying to the jurors during the court proceedings???
