Free at Last! Tahmooressi Released from Mexican Jail
Breitbart ^ | 31 Oct 2014, 5:45 PM PDT | Joel B. Pollak

U.S. Marine veteran Andrew Tahmooressi has been released from a Mexican jail, where he had languished for months on weapons charges after crossing the border with three guns in his car earlier this year. Tahmooressi has long maintained his innocence, saying that he made a wrong turn at the Mexican border and was unable to return to the U.S. upon realizing his mistake. His release became a cause célèbre for conservatives nationwide.

The San Diego Union-Tribune notes that Tahmooressi's legal strategy shifted in recent weeks: "He initially pressed for dismissal of the case on the grounds that his client’s rights were allegedly violated when he was held at the El Chaparral Port of Entry for hours without the presence of an attorney or a translator....But in recent weeks, the attorney focused on Tahmooressi’s PTSD in an attempt to win him a humanitarian release."

- “Thankful 0bama exerted his considerable influence in this matter!” - Gamecock

- Finally at least the black Chicago preachers and citizens are turning on Obama - “What good is a higher minimum wage when there are no jobs?”

- In 1-5 years the 60,00 (plus) hispanics that Obama invited to America will be illegally voting and well before that illegally taking the jobs the blacks are losing - and under the table without paying any Fed or State income taxes -

- Remember - Detroit was once a prosperous city that has now turned into swamp bankrupt bulldozed vacant lots - and the BS’ing Democrats were running Detroit -

"I still believe that the judge and prosecutor were waiting for a bribe."

BINGO.... If someone had been willing to pay the bite I think maybe that young man would have been out of there a whole lot sooner.....

That's the way it works in Mexico....and soon to be that way right here in the "Good old U.S.A."

Did we trade 5 Taliban Generals or 5 drug cartel kingpins for him? If not, President Obola missed a golden opportunity!

Oh, wait. Tahmooressi is not a traitor or deserter. Never mind.
