Thank you, pissant. Those two ex-agents had a trial in a court of law. They had benefit of defense counsel. The way some on talk radio, the right-wing fringe media, and opportunistic politicos like Hunter are flogging this story, one would think these guys were thrown in prison without benefit of either a trial or defense counsel.
Time and time and time and time again, these sorts of phony causes are pushed to the fore by people looking either to divide and damage Republicans, or to make a buck and/or a name off gullible people who are more passionate than they are discerning.
I heard about Hunter's empty impeachment threat tonight on the way home, and made a note to call his office tomorrow to give them a piece of my mind.
As a Californian, I am disgusted. First "real" conservative Duke Cunningham betrayed us. Now "real" conservative Duncan Hunter is trying to raise his presidential stock by betraying us. (Hunter and Cunningham were close buds in Congress. I wonder how much Hunter knew about what Cunningham was doing and if he ever covered for the crook.)
Don't you have Hunter mixed up with Rorabacher? You don't seem very informed for somebody who has no problem trashing CA Congressmen and trying to paint them all as corrupt Republicans. In fact, you sound a lot like a Democrat.
Hunter and Cunningham were toed at the hip and Hunter has an Abromof problem as well, He is under investigation and has been long before he ever threw his hat in the ring.
That's a terrible thing to insinuate with nothing to back it up, Wolfstar.
I'm a Hunter fan. I would like to see them pardoned or a minimum of a reduces sentence. 11 Years is way too extreme for the crime they committed. What I'm not going to do is Blame Bush for the whole fiasco, which most here seem to have done, erroneously, I will add.
