The Mexican drug runner whose testimony sent two Border Patrol agents to prison for shooting him in the buttocks brought drugs into the United States more than once, thereby diminishing his credibility as a witness in the investigation, according to a California congressman.

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., presented new evidence in a Capitol Hill press conference Wednesday that revealed what he says was U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton's deliberate attempt to mislead the public about Osbaldo Aldrete-Davila's involvement in the transport of a second load of drugs in October 2005.[snip]....

....[snip]But the Drug Enforcement Agency found that Aldrete-Davila brought in another vanload of drugs into the United States while he waited to testify against the agents. Some reports say he stashed up to 750 pounds of marijuana at a house in Clint, Texas.

Rohrabacher said Sutton knowingly presented a false picture of the primary witness in the case....."

Johnny Sutton is Nifongs big brother. This is really an outrage!

Do we have to excerpt Fox News now? That stinks.

[Anti-Bubba182]

Yes we do have to excerpt Fox News.

Pardon the Agents NOW!!!!

[TeenagedConservative]

Our government is so pathetically obvious in its opposition to the people of this country it would be funny if anyone noticed.

The FitzSutFong shuffle...



...and their hands never leave the table.
Amazing.

ok, I'll bite. why does it stink?

The really disturbing thing is that Sutton is one of Dubya's golden boys.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

" Davila was a benign, hapless Mexican man who had just been recruited to drive a truck in order to raise money for medical expenses for his mother,"
Right!

[bobby.223]

why does a fox news excerpt stink, not the facts of the case.

[Anti-Bubba182]

Some look good on paper when they are appointed. This one was overzealous and so greedy for a conviction he withheld information from the Jury. That may be legal but it is not right.

This thing just gets worse and worse.

Kudos to Rep. Rohrabacher!

Because part of what makes FR great is that you can read the entirety of most articles without leaving the thread, and it makes composing responses quite a bit easier. It distresses me that the list of "excerpt-only" sites keeps growing, but I don't blame the FR management for being vigilant to protect themselves legally.

Is Sutton blackmailed by drug dealers or merely a user? It is hard to decided what is wrong with him and his buddies Debra Kanof and Judge Kathleen Cardone until more is known about their personal lives.

Ping and Bump!

[mewzilla]

I won't print what I'm thinking....

[Anti-Bubba182]

I think Sutton is just an ambitious prosecutor with an ethics deficiency, which is bad enough.

[Issaquahking]

Actually, I 'm glad to see the roar is growing louder!

This is just so wrong that THREE of America's defenders of the border and law (Deputy Sheriff Guillermo F. Hernandez, Ignacio Ramos, and Jose Compean) have been railroaded by glass tower idiots.

Johnny Sutton is Nifongs big brother.

And, apparently, very good friends with the Bush Family.
