Two California congressmen, one of whom introduced legislation this year calling for a congressional pardon for two U.S. Border Patrol agents, say that if President Bush can commute the sentence of former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, he can order pardons for the agents.
"If the president of the United States is going to commute the sentence of Scooter Libby, he should immediately accompany that with a pardon for Border Patrol agents Jose Compean and Ignacio Ramos," said Rep. Duncan Hunter, California Republican and 2008 presidential candidate.
"If Scooter Libby is going to receive this treatment, and there very well could be a compelling reason for the president's actions, agents Compean and Ramos should then be provided a full pardon," said Mr. Hunter, whose bill has 100 co-sponsors. "Mr. President, pardon our Border Patrolmen."
Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, California Republican, said Libby was convicted of obstructing the investigation of a crime, "yet no one has been charged with a crime" in the case. However, Mr. Rohrabacher said, while Mr. Bush rightly showed mercy to Libby, he "does not seem to have the same mercy for the average men and women holding the front lines of our borders.

After he was given immunity to testify against the agents Davila was arrested again with 750 lbs of pot. Sutton killed this case as well.
Ramos and Compean were railroaded, big time.
No, they were not doing their jobs.
Had they actually been doing their jobs they wouldn't be in prison right now.
Shooting unarmed suspects and filing false reports aren't in the job descriptions of any law enforcement agency I'm aware of.
Have you read the court transcripts?
Not really, pissant. They broke the law.
LOL! You have, I’m sure.
How about shooting invaders?
So did I when I went 67 in a 60 mph zone this AM.
“Why was Ramos put in solitary?”
Ramos was put in solitary confinement after he was brutally beaten by Latino inmates.
He was moved to solitary confinement for his safety.
No I haven’t, but Duncan Hunter says he has. You didn’t answer the question though. Why?
The court has not made the transcripts public.
What is public?
The indictment, a public document. The defense's brief, which they have made available.
I hope you stayed in the right lane, slow poke! ;op
The usually keep lawmen who are incarcerated away from the general prisoner population. They must have put him in harm’s way intentionally.
A simple yes or no please :’)
When America’s Most Wanted aired a segment on them, the cries of Maten la Migra preceeded the beatings. Why would AMW air a segment on men who A) were never on the lam B) were already in prison?
“the court has not made the transcripts public.”

Weird that the US would even make such a thing even remotely like a crime. A fleeing drug guy that is killing our kids and we can’t shoot at him? Make reason stare.........What a world. I guess open borders are really that important to them.
Big time ping
