How cozy was Border Patrol with smuggler?

The more I learn about the corruption, the sicker I get.

I do believe the official USA policy started by BJ Clinton is "Bomb Christians for Al-Qaeda backed KLA drug runners"
and "Send Border Patrol Agents to jail for Mexican backed drug runners".

"Look how the money rolls in".

Smuggler PING!

Thanks for posting this. BTTT!

Gosh, I've been following this story and it blows my mind. I believe in a previous article I read that Blanchard was also reassigned because he was suspicious of Sanchez phone calls. The official response for his removal from the area was that his assignment was a temporary one, unbeknownst to him.

One would think the major focus of this whole case would be the drug smuggling. I am sure finding a cell phone would be a huge find in tracking the network involved in the smuggling. It is absolutely sickening.

[panthermom]

Another thing that really bothers me about this case is the jury. The prosecution presented the case that the agents shot an unarmed man and tried to cover it up. Please, how can ANYBODY, with a working brain, even think that someone carrying that amount of dope WOULD NOT BE ARMED??????

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Did the jury even know he was a drug smuggler?

Judge Cardone ruled out cross-examination about the cell phone, stating: "Mr. Aldrete-Davila is not on trial. And everybody knows he's got a phone and everybody knows he was transporting the drugs, but, unless we're getting somewhere that's got to do with this case, I'm concerned we're going of ... ." At that point, Judge Cardone was interrupted once again by Debra Kanof.

Thank you, they did know something about the drug smuggler.

WND has learned that prosecutor Sutton's office took steps to prevent Agent Nolan Blanchett from testifying in open court, claiming that Blanchett's testimony would compromise an ongoing investigation.

How's that investigation going, Johnny??? Is it getting anywhere??? or was there ever one to begin with??? It's high time for Johnny to come clean.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Has anybody seen the complete transcript yet?

The last I heard was it was not completed.

[panthermom]

As far as I know there has been no transcript.

Like I said before, the jury was asked to believe that the smuggler was unarmed. Was this based on the testimony of the goverment officials who lied? The officials said that Compean and Ramos specifically said they were out to "shoot Mexicans" and that they knew he was "unarmed". Both of these statements have been proven false. That alone should be cause for a mistrial and these men should be released pending a new trial. Personally, I would like to see a whole new trial where ALL EVIDENCE AND TESTIMONY is allowed so that these men can be fully exhonerated, pardoning isn't enough in my opinion.
WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD BELIEVE A DRUG SMUGGLER CARRYING 748 POUNDS OF POT WOULD BE UNARMED!!!!!!! PERSONALLY I AM SURPRISED HE DIDN'T HAVE AN ASSAULT RIFLE! I am SPECULATING HERE, but at this point, it would not surprise me in the least that there were fire arms in that van and that they were taken to make them look more guilty.

It looks like Corsi is delving through the few transcripts that are available as of now.

I'm beginning to think that Sutton jumped on the prosecution of the BP agents in order to draw attention AWAY from the drug smuggling. Intentionally.

[1rudeboy]

Someone help me out here. How did Corsi get his hands on the trial transcript?

[1rudeboy]

Please, how can ANYBODY, with a working brain, even think that someone carrying that amount of dope WOULD NOT BE ARMED?

If he's a mule, I can see it.

Another article with no new facts, just speculation about stuff WND is incapable of finding out on their own. "We know he had a cell phone, we have no idea what was in it or what has been done with it, so we'll speculate that Rene was in league with drug dealers and his phone number is in the phone"!!!

Blanchett apparently has no information whatsoever about the crimes. The Cell Phone had nothing to do with the crime. That's why they aren't germaine to the trial.

Rene it seems (if anything in WND is to be believed) had sources that allowed us to stop a lot of drugs from coming into our country. We are supposed to lionise the two BP agents because they shot a drug dealer, and therefore helped stop a single shipment.

But we are supposed to hate Rene Sanchez who apparently has been able to stop multiple drug shipments without actually shooting anybody for no reason.

Oh, probably not anymore. WND has pretty much assured that, whatever contacts Rene might have had which gave us this valuable information, we don't have them anymore.

I'm beginning to see a reason why stuff might be under seal -- Sanchez/Sanchez apparently were key players in controlling the drug trafficking over our border, and the focus on their efforts has probably ruined that for us.

Any pro-pardon folks want to speculate on how WND got leaked portions of the transcript if the transcript is under control of the evil empire, rather than pro-pardon folks who might want to hold it up because it's bad for the agents?

[CharlesWayneCT]

Oh yes, the "Bush held the girl's Mexican Flag while he hugged her, so the BP agents must be innocent" argument.
