Two congressmen are calling for the immediate release of imprisoned Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean and a complete investigation of their prosecutor after the arrest last night of the drug smuggler at the center of the case.
Reps. Ted Poe, R-Texas, and Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., say that with the arrest of Osvaldo Aldrete-Davila, Congress and the attorney general should launch a full-scale review of U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton's prosecution of the border agents.
Sutton, said Rohrabacher in a statement, "is now confirming what members of Congress and the public already figured out about Osvaldo Davila. He's a rotten habitual drug smuggler who should have been the target of Sutton's prosecution, instead of Border Patrol agents Ramos and Compean."
As WND reported, Aldrete-Davila was arrested yesterday at the El Paso border crossing on charges he smuggled a second 750-pound load of marijuana into the U.S. after he was given immunity by U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton.

Sounds like anarchy—and murder. No thanks.
Just get rid of the problem—fire folks like Sutton.
EMPHASIS!!!!!
>>>Poe was referring to claims by members of DHS Inspector General Richard L. Skinner’s office that it had documentary evidence Ramos and Compean confessed to knowingly shooting at an unarmed suspect and said they “wanted to shoot a Mexican” that day.<<<

The compounding effect would be ‘chilling’, that’s for sure.
OK, which FReeper is going to spearhead the Swiftboating of Sutten and the campaign to release Ramos and Compean?
I wish I had some Swiftboat info on the guy. I’d love to be Sutton’s Buckhead.
Email and/or call the president to pardon Compean & Ramos. Please put “Pardon Compean & Ramos” in the subject line, in case they don’t read the entire e-mail.

I e-mailed and called, and actually got to talk with a real person.
