OK. Let me understand the conspiracy. Sutton grants immunity to a drug dealer (fact). Then that drug dealer, now known to the world of BP agents as he's testifying against two of them, SMUGGLES DRUGS AGAIN. He is caught by other border agents. They turn him in. Sutton finds out, realises he'll look silly, so he extends immunity for absolutely NOTHING in return. He expunges the record, purges the arrest report, hides the agreement, and gets the arresting officer, the court, and the jail personnel to go along with it.
Thus, there is NO EVIDENCE AT ALL that the guy was arrested again, as a result of a high-level government conspiracy.
Except that some average-joe internet poster named Cyropaedia knows all about it.
When an argument gets to the "of course it's true, but there's obviously no evidence because he hid it all", there's little more to be said.
Let's just go back to that beginning in the interest of law and order.
What Sutton should have done was when he KNEW the location of the Drug Smuggler (and he did)..was to issue a warrant for his arrest and extradite him back to the US.
They had the evidence he was a drug smuggler, but chose instead, to make an example of two of our Border Patrolmen in lieu of letting a big time DRUG smuggler go free.
If that didn't send a clear signal that something is rotten in Denmark than nothing does...
Sutton should be fired for making that deal, even if our BP are never pardoned!

To sweeten the immunity deal, the feds paid for Osbaldo Aldrete-Davila’s medical treatment of his ailing backside – a taxpayer-funded recuperation at William Beaumont Army Medical Center in El Paso, Texas. He showed his gratitude by breaking his immunity agreement in October 2005, when officers say he attempted to smuggle 1,000 pounds of marijuana into America. The prosecution further extended its immunity to this felony and sealed the indictment from jurors. Aldrete-Davila repaid this new shower of grace by suing the federal government for $5 million, alleging the shooting violated his civil rights. However, he agreed to help in their criminal prosecution, as well, and the feds are apparently happy to collaborate with the pusher as long as he helped put effective lawmen behind bars.
It's not a "conspiracy". It's simply a prosecutor covering his ass to save face and to salvage the credibility and integrity of his witness. As I said before, Sutton's parsing of terms (claiming no "evidence" as opposed to calling the accusations lies) is an unfortunate example of legalese.
