Feinstein does something right every once in a blue moon.

So you agree that the two men were guilty of the criminal charge and that the sentence was too harsh?

Sorry, it seems in this case a pardon would be appropriate, not a commutation.

She’s just sucking up to the voters for her Amnesty vote. I wouldn’t give her too much credit. Her Liberalism is just as moronic as it always is and she still thinks she’s one of the Queens of the Congress.

"I believe the charging of 18 USC 924c was a prosecutorial overreach."

I agree. The law was designed to punish criminals, primarily drug dealers, not law enforcement officers. At most, a 2 year sentence was warranted, not the mandatory 10 years that 924c requires.

IMHO, Bush should commute their sentences immediately.

However, from what I've heard, Bush,DA Sutton and AG Gonzales are close friends.

Can't embarass his buddies, can he? All politicians are scum.

It is incomprehensible to me that an illegal alien drug smuggler was allowed to violate his immunity agreement, perjure himself and be granted a series of unlimited visas to roam free in our country

Why aren't the fools who allowed this to happen being prosecuted? Somebody signed off on this guy? What for, what did they get in return? Who was/is he connected with?

“Feinstein does something right every once in a blue moon.”

Probably the sanest person in Frisco. And if that doesn’t scare you, it should.

What happened to Feinstein? A brief moment of sanity?

Edd Hendee on KSEV 700am in Houston has followed this case and helped draw national attention to it (even appearing as a guest on Laura Ingraham’s show).

Edd and Dan Patrick (station manager, talk host, and state senator) say that Cornyn’s question was limp wristed at best. Cornyn and prosecutor Johnny Sutton are associates going back to their days with Gov. Bush.

This is a CYA letter from John Cornyn.

Don’t know but it surprised the hell out of Edd and Dan that they found Diane Finstein to be more active in her questioning than Cornyn. They believe that she did a much better job.

Then again our elected Republican leadership in Texas has a way of stabbing the party faithful in the back again and again.

Had a close conservative friend when I lived in the S.F. Bay Area who because of her job had talked often with Senator Feinstein. She told me that yes, she is liberal, but one you could actually talk to and reason with, and an extremely gracious lady.

Somehow, I don’t picture Boxer and Pelosi having those traits...

Too bad Bush allowed these scum to grandstand their political careers on something he knows damn well he should have done long ago, the day after these people who were doing their jobs were sentenced.

Spinelessness has a cost, and unfortunately this has been a costly policy this administration has adopted from day one, which has served the RAT pack well.

Feinstein has a few active brain cells after all. Yeah, a pardon is what we’re after, but she’s on the right track.

You don’t cross the elites and their dream of a North American Union. The Border Patrol doesn’t fit the ‘plan’.

Other agents take notice! You’re to be a figurehead, just come to work, file some papers and take your check at the end of the week. Be a good little pawn and this won’t happen to you!
