“They were tried and convicted by 12 of their peers while being represented by competent counsel. This wasn’t a banana republic show trial.”— It’s not what was said or brought into trial that convicted them. It was the evidence that was not aloud into trial.
>>“And what bearing could someone have on a trial by saying things to congress after the trial has ended????” —This was said before the trial for the sole purpose of steering the 3 Congressmen away from interfering with the Nifonging of R & C. Not to mention it goes to the creditability of their agenda & investigation.<<
Check your dates. All the DHS lying to congress I know of occured after the trial. Did DHS stall congress because they needed to shred documents? It is a fact, though, that Mexican inmates almost killed Ramos after DHS told congress that they “wanted to shoot a Mexican.” In my opinion this was a despicable act by DHS.
Now common sense tells me that if the illegal had a gun, was a tough seasoned drug runner, and was on the receiving end of a hail of bullets, that he would have returned fire, at least a round or two. Instead the only shell casings found were from the 2 BP agents. It is illegal to shoot a fleeing, posing no threat, person, period, the US Supreme Court has ruled on that. They admitted they shot at him and one of them hit him. They hid evidence of the shooting and tried to sweep it under the rug. They admitted all of this themselves. From their own lips. No conspiracy, no cover-up, no GWB evil plan. In technical terms they "screwed the pooch". And it was exactly what was said and brought into trial against them that convicted them. They sealed their own fates. Read the transcripts.
