What difference does it make that Bradford did not like Aguirre? Aguirre ran the K-Mart raid, and he's responsible for what happened that night.
I'm sure Bradford was more than willing to let Aguirre take the brunt of the criticism, and maybe Bradford knew more about the planned raid than he admits, but it doesn't change what happened.
I hope Bradford is convicted of perjury and is run out of town. He refuses to cooperate with the Justice Department in identifying people who are in the country illegally. He's a fool, a liberal, and a liar. Good riddance.
It makes plenty of difference. It calls into suspicion Bradford's statement that he was "embarassed" by the raid as he refused to stand by his officers which is what he is supposed to do.
If Yates can show Aguirre's suspension was due to Bradford's personal feelings toward him (which I say is more than likely considering Bradford is either grossly incompetent or a first-class liar in saying he did not know about the raid), Aguirre's suspension will have to be lifted.
