..the latest
I just heard the CSPAN interview with a reporter on this case. He doid mention that the appeals lawyers were perturbed that the transcripts were taking an inordinate amount of time to arrive.
I don't think they can deny the appeals process by permanently sealing the transcript. That's a denial of due process.
Having said that, I'll bet the government is banking on these guys getting killed in prison first.
Just heard on c-span this morning that the drug smugglers illegal sister was married to another so-called boarder guard in Phoenix. He was the one who started the whole investigation, wounder if he was mad about a pay off.
Keeps getting to be wilder, and wilder, as time pushes....Sutton, your goose is done.
“I can't figure out why so many high-ranking officials in our government are assisting this known doper and are actively trying to throw members of Congress off the trail by continuing to lie and misrepresent the facts."
You can't figure this out, Mr. Ramirez? It’s obvious to me. Many high-ranking officials in our government are working for the Mexican drug cartels.
Bush pardoned FIVE DRUG DEALERS Christmas but he can't pardon two BP agents?
Talk about misplaced priorities...
"Many high-ranking officials in our government are working for the Mexican drug cartels."
BINGO!!!
Gregoryful posted the reference to 'Compromised' by Terry Reed the other day. Interesting theory to say the least, and it does seem to explain a lot.
The government cover-up continues, while two innocent men were convicted of simply doing their jobs.
The President has the power to pardon because of the possibility of injustice. If this isn't a case that is deserving, then there is no such thing. Yet the administration is strangely quiet (other than saying that his injuries were not as serious as initially reported).
No - he is taking care of his own...
Johnny Sutton and Alberto Gonzales. American traitors.
This fire needs some stoking
... Like a tanker of gas
So this POS is still able to criss cross the border at will? Our system of justice needs an overhaul.
That doesn't make sense to me. I believe the trial transcript will have to be released (but may include some redacted items). However, there are many things in the court record leading up to trial (documents, transcripts of proceedings, various motions and orders, etc.) that have been sealed and will not be released.
Is there information to the contrary?
Can you clarify? I wonder if CSPAN has replays. Who said that and when did the segment air?
The BP Agent in Phoenix must have been Rene Sanchez. It was previously reported that his mother was friendly with the mother of the smuggler, and in fact R.Sanchez had grown up with the smuggler and was an old childhood friend. But none of that disclosed a marriage and a sister.
Doesn't it, though!
How many are on the list:
USAO Johnny Sutton
USAO Debra Kanof
DHS-OIG Richard Skinner
DHS-OIG Elizabeth Redman
DHS-OIG Tamara Faulkner
DHS-OIG ? (I think one more lied to Congress)
DHS-OIG C.Sanchez
USBP Jonathan Richards
USBP R.Sanchez
Judge Kathleen Cardone
BOP Harley Lappin
BOP ?? (Yazoo prison head)
