Bush pardons drug traffickers and other criminals while Ramos and Compean waste away in jail?

What a loser.

My understanding is that reviews are currently underway by the DOJ, in other words give it a little more time before you condemn Bush in this matter.

More time? He could have pardoned them long before now yet he has not.

He's a loser.

Jorge Bush loves ILLEGALS too much to pardon these agents. Drug smugglers, childmolesters—whatever.

It seems that every last shred of decency has fled this nation. We probably deserve the future that seems to be unfolding.

What am I missing? Everything I have read about these border agents makes it sound like an obvious travesty of justice. What is the other side of the story? There must be something else?

The outrage is this:

The prosecutor used his own discretion to treat these law enforcement agents as CRIMINALS.

They were charged under a law to go after CRIMINALS and their use of firearms, and the law allows a very stiff prison sentence.

And I’d like to ask this: Since when do law enforcement agents not have the right to fire a shot at a fleeing suspect?

WHY???

When the appeals court refused to allow W's "BUD" Scooter to remain free pending appeal, Bush executed a Commutation order WITHIN HOURS of that decision.

So, why cut him any slack.

He has continually ignored the overwhelming evidence that shows these 2 Border Agents were targets of malicious prosecution by another one of W's "BUDS" Sutton as well as undue influence coming from Mexico.

And finally regardless of their offenses (REAL OR ALLEGED) the decision to charge them with the commission of a felony involving a firearm, which is the governing statute which subjected them to a mandatory minimum of 10 years was at the SOLE DISCRETION of that botton-feeding, scumbag, Sutton.

Anyone who knows anything about how prosecutors (or US Attorneys) operate will admit that they have sole authority to decide what charges and under what statutes they fall under to bring against a defendant.

SUTTON DID NOT HAVE TO INCLUDE THAT PARTICULAR CHARGE. THAT HE DID, KNOWING THE OUTCOME IF THEY WERE FOUND GUILTY, PROVES THIS WAS MALISCIOUS FROM THE BEGINING AND ALL OF SUTTON'S FEIGNED INNOCENCE NOW AS HE CLAIMS HE'S SORRY FOR THEIR PREDICAMENT BUT THAT IT WAS THAT DASTARDLY MANADATORY MINIMUM WHICH WAS TO BLAME IS COMPLETELY BOGUS AND BULL SH*T--WHICH IMHO, WAS THE NAIL IN MCLAME'S CAMPAIGN AND I DON'T BELIEVE FOR ONE MINUTE W DIDN'T REALIZE THIS WHEN HE LED THE CHICKEN LITTLE CHARGE AND LET HIS CRAZED, LIBERL, DEMOCRAT-SUPPORTING, DOG (PAULSON) LOOSE TO PURUSE THIS ISSUE WITH THE UPMOST URGENCY.

So you and others can cut Jorge all the slack you want; as for me, Bush stopped being my President a long time ago and though I would have as soon see the Devil in the oval office as John "The Snake" Kerry, Bush has more than just disappointed me and forsaken the Republicans, he has actually caused us conservatives considerable harm and continues to do so with this bailout fiasco.

January 20 WILL NOT COME SOON ENOUGH FOR ME. At least with DEAR LEADER, we will know from whence that knife in our back is coming from--a far left Marxist, moonbat and it is something we can expect.

That we had this same betrayal and attack from someone who we thought would support us and work for the good of Conservatives, is more than I am willing to accept, forgive or forget.

The “something else” could be what more Ramos and Compean know about Aldrete-Davila and his connections...

This refusal to pardon the two Border Patrol agents, while giving amnesty to drug dealers, smacks of treason.

Someone should tell Jorge Boosh he is not President of Mexico

Well, the two agents did lie about discharging their weapons etc. They guy was shot in the butt, got into Mejico afterwards...

Nevertheless, President Bush’s failure to pardon or commute these two sentences IS a terrible disappointment.

I just don’t understand how this kind and decent man either has not or will not let these two men out. It baffles me.

Let’s see what you have to say about Obama over the next several years.

One day you’ll regret not supporting President Bush.

Because of this stupid/duplicitous action, and others, (not sealing the border,failure to build the fence, the North American Union, the Amero, and other things) I have long felt Bush and others in the chain are getting kickbacks from the drug trafficers.

My thoughts exactly. The only thing I can come up with is that money is changing hands somewhere (drug money). Maybe it's buying that 100,000 acre ranch in South America(?)

Mena, Arkansas has made me curious for some time. Why would the elder Bush buddy up with Clinton while Clinton continually bad-mouthed his son?

You should recognize the tremendous courage it took for South40 to stand alone and call Pres. Bush a loser. This will surely lead to ridicule by the media, admonishment from the Democrats, and a good scolding by members of this forum.

Has anyone asked Carly Simon her opinion on this case?

The something else is Johnny Sutton, who served as President Bush's criminal policy director when Bush was Governor of Texas. I doubt that President Bush will ever pardon Mr. Ramos or Mr. Compean due to his loyalty/long-standing connection to Sutton.
