"These were good agents doing their job," said Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.). "There is something that stinks to high heaven."

They attempted to cover up their crime.
What part of illegal doesn't Tom understand?

Hypocrite.

This is totally unbelievable

This shows how much clout drug deals have in this country. Of course, the border agents, should be pardoned (Clinton even pardoned drug dealers and pedophiles) - they should never have been charged in the first place.

There has to be more to this story than what is posted here. I think there is some important information missing about what testimony and evidence was presented in court.

If this was a simple "take me for my drug-smuggling word" I believe the US Attorney needs to taken behind the woodshed for a little one-on-one with a border agent.

Sutton expanded the immunity to include a subsequent drug offense, when Aldrete-Davila tried to smuggle another 1,000 pounds of marijuana into the United States.

Doesn't the US have a death penalty provision for drug kingpins?

While marijuana may not be a killer drug, this is close to a ton of pot that this one indiviudal helped to bring into this ocuntry. and he now receives immunity in a nation he is not a resident of.. wow.

as to the cover-up, Marines were always taught to police their brass after discharging their weapons.. Not that I am trying to defend the actions of the agents in picking up his spent rounds and as a result being accused of tampering with a "crime scene" and blocking an investigation.


It does seem odd how some would rather make an example of the agents and not the other way around, oh well.

"There is something that stinks to high heaven."


There sure is, Tom! This case might not be where to start asking questions but, 'the powers that be' need to lay their plans out for the American public to see, NOW! We can't stand by and allow members of some secret society or international organization to control the future of OUR country!

"Rep. Red Poe (R-Texas) said the Justice Department is "on the wrong side" of this case."

I think that they meant The Honorable Ted Poe from the 2nd Congressional district in the Great state of Texas. Congressman Ted Poe is a Conservative that is not afraid to speak his mind and I am proud to vote for him every time!
