Just a wild guess here, but what do you bet that this fine, upstanding prosecutor uttered the tired old prosecutor's mantra, at some point before the trial, that these Agent's must be "held to a higher standard of conduct?"
Higher standard indeed. I'd love some follow up on any action taken against this US Attorney.
No action will be taken..
U.S. Attorneys are "officers of the court", and as such are not subject to laws concerning obstruction, creating false evidence, bribery, etc., etc...
Their "conduct" may be referred to the bar and reviewed, at which time they may lose their license to practice law in Texas, but that's about it...
I am not a lawyer, and am not sure how or why officers of the court are protected in this way, but it stinks to high heaven..
If anyone reading this thread has knowledge concerning why the law protects such criminal activity, that would certainly land any other citizen in jail for a very long time, I would welcome their input..
Prosecutors that stoop to such tactics should be spending significant time with "Bubba"....
