Probably not nearly as many as that deserve it.
I hate to say this but someone obviously has friends in very high places.
"Is anyone else disturbed that the Federal Govt. would go to such lengths to protect an illegal criminal, and throw two of it's own citizens in jail?"
Can you remember way back to the time that you thought that our Federal government was a least somewhat ethical and honest in their goals and their dealings with the taxpayers?
BUMP
And this, my friends, is why the DEA is dirty from top to bottom
That's how it is.
The difference between the way the U.S. Government, and the Mecican Government work is, in Mexico the corruption, and payoffs are out in the open.
And what old friend of Sutton gave him that job?
Within the universe of Federal prosecutors Andrew McCarthy makes a decent case against Compean and Ramos. Only thing is the case never should have been brought in the first place. It should have been taken care of within the Border Patrol
McCarthy's case (he's a former US Attorney in New York City) stinks when a foreign drug smuggler is not prosecuted two separate times for two separate drug smuggling incidents. Just so a Federal prosecutor can use his testimony to put two BP agents behind bars for lightly wounding this drug dealer. This defies common sense and common sense is supposed to guide which cases a US Attorney chooses to prosecutes. Tons of Federal laws are broken each day in Johnny Sutton's distract. Yet look who he chooses to zero in on for prosecution. Two of the men who deter illegal immigration and Mexican criminals.
"We can't trust this story because it came from World Net Daily. Never mind that World Net Daily reported on the beating of one of the border agents in prison, and the report was later confirmed - he probably didn't get beaten up that badly anyway. And I'll find a lame excuse to minimize this after mainstream sources confirm it as well. You see, all I have been is a one trick pony on this issue." (Thread FROBL mode off)
That would be the same person who allowed Sandy Burglar to get off with a slap on the wrist.
The same person who is ultimately in charge of the corrupt-to-the-core Justice Department.
That would be George W. Bush.
Doesn't say much for him does it?
I've gotten quite frustrated over the past few years with the personality cult that has surrounded him by a particularly fervent group of sociocons/neocons.
It isn't deserved.
Sutton's lying pants are on fire!
I wonder if Osbalso's suit against the USA for being shot in the butt will be successful, and if we'll have to pay this scum 5 million bucks? If so, he should be paid in pesos, provided by Johnny Sutton and his cohorts.
kind of like Rodney King....
Who will defend us against this suit? The same corrupt justice department that let this happen. That corrupt justice department is headed by a man who takes order from the president.
I hear ya. McCarthy is still one of the good guys. He takes our side in the immigration debate. This case should have been taken care of internally.
