Key Quote: However, he said he ditched that plan after seeing Sutton produce a steady stream of investigations, prosecutions and convictions of other Border Patrol agents.

Like me, they think that the sentence against the agents is too harsh, but they don’t blame Sutton.

If he hadn't been such a zealot to prosecute them and honor an illegal alien drug smuggler no one would be blaming him.

Why hasn’t Johnny Sutton been fired? Why wasn’t he among the US attorneys to be canned?

Sutton is a friend of Bush's since his days as Governor.

So. Fire Sutton or better yet put him on trial for wrongful prosecution. And, if it can be proved that he know prior to the trial that the illegal was still smuggling drugs then Sutton should go to jail.

Second that.

Sorry, inept attempt at a joke. But even if these jurors are American citizens, I repeat: Send them back home - along with Johnny Sutton.

Something stinks in that judicial arena.

Then with any luck maybe you can share a cell with him.

I just watched that POS defend himself on Glenn Beck.

So did I.

Only new thing here is the take that Sutton was trying to shift blame for his excesses to the folks at DOJ “headquarters”.

Don’t think Johnny Sutton made a move without first consulting with the DC DOJ and he’s a personal friend of George W. Bush.

Since you know Sutton maybe you can explain why he felt the need to lie in this case.

I think the complete quote is “Any decent prosecuter can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich on the death of the pig”.

I really do not get all the folks who think they get to second guess the people actually involved in the trial.

There have been almost 50 shooting incidents there and these two are the only border patrol agents to be tried.

It is clear to me they thought they were above the law and that puts everybody at risk, not just the bad guys.

But he’s Jorge El Segundo’s “Amigo Bueno”

HE told us that tonight on TV.

Translation: Sutton was carrying out the instructions I gave Gonzales which were the instructions the Mexican Government gave me. Now go sit down and shut up. I know best what is good for America, not the majority of Americans.

Ah, that makes perfectly logical sense. Now if I can only remember that.

Is OJ Simpson innocent of murder? Would you let your kids sleep over at Michael Jackson's house?

Sometimes the people involved in the trial don't get it right. There are numerous problems associated with this case that would lead a reasonable person to believe that these agents did not get a fair trial.

I don't know where you are getting the 50 shootings from, Sutton only claimed there were 14. Just because they didn't convict any other agents for discharging their weapons doesn't mean they didn't want to or didn't try.

If this case had merit then Sutton and his prosecutors wouldn't have to lie and change their stories.

OMG!!! Just watching that SNIDE WEASEL Johnny Sutton was dosgusting and I am ambivalent about the case!! You must only meet some really corrupt people to think that this guy is a good guy. You must be a man because a woman could see his BS a mile away.

One thing I do know about the case...he says the drug delaer was UNARMED but No one FRISKED the drug dealer. He;'s a creep.
