Two congressmen are calling for the immediate release of imprisoned Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean and a complete investigation of their prosecutor after the arrest last night of the drug smuggler at the center of the case.
Reps. Ted Poe, R-Texas, and Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., say that with the arrest of Osvaldo Aldrete-Davila, Congress and the attorney general should launch a full-scale review of U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton's prosecution of the border agents.
Sutton, said Rohrabacher in a statement, "is now confirming what members of Congress and the public already figured out about Osvaldo Davila. He's a rotten habitual drug smuggler who should have been the target of Sutton's prosecution, instead of Border Patrol agents Ramos and Compean."
As WND reported, Aldrete-Davila was arrested yesterday at the El Paso border crossing on charges he smuggled a second 750-pound load of marijuana into the U.S. after he was given immunity by U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton.

Rohrabacher commented on the timing of Davila's arrest.
"If Mr. Sutton thinks he's going to escape culpability for this miscarriage of justice by conveniently arresting the drug dealer two and a half weeks before the Ramos and Compean appeal is heard, he is sadly mistaken," the congressman said.
"Mr. Sutton turned a deaf ear to pleas from the Ramos and Compean families," he continued. "Instead, he only heard lies of the drug smuggler portraying him as an innocent man who had given into the temptation of drug smuggling only once, in order to buy medicine for his mother."
Rohrabacher insisted the bottom line is Sutton "believed it was more important to protect the civil rights of an admitted illegal alien drug smuggler than to side with the law enforcement heroes who attempted to stop him."
Ramos/Compean news...
INDEED.
Put the prosecutor in their cell.
Oh but wait, we mustn’t be too hasty in our judgment about Johnny Sutton, didn’t President Bush say he was a ‘pretty good guy’ or something like that?
C’mon, look at that face on Davila, he’s just a hard working, undocumented immigrant trying to take care of his poor old mother, Johnny Sutton understands, why can’t we?
Hmmm, maybe because Johnny Sutton is a lying corrupt piece of sh*t that should be the one behind bars?
Nooooo say it ain’t so Jorge!
A fine good morning to you brother!
I saw Sutton on Glenn Beck months ago, tryign to defend himself, and Gonzales and Bush by extension. What a sorry display of tortured logic that was.
Could easily get more worked up about it than is fitting.
Sooooooooooooooooooooo OUTRAGEOUS.
The only conclusion I can draw is an ugly one.
That the NWO puppet masters wanted to protect their drugg running stooge. And to send a message to not mess with their operations.
Certainly this is an era when good is called evil and evil is called good.
May all those evil doers fall in their own pit.
Thanks for your kind msg.
God’s best to you and yours this Thanksgiving.
I hope Sutton is hung out to dry. I am so sick of Bush and his minions “no listen” attitude. What they did to these two men is disgusting and inexcusable.
These two men should be released immediately.
Rohrabacher ping
“I hope Sutton is hung out to dry”
I agree... I never understood this case... Even if the agents were wrong, why are they in solitary and treated as the worst criminals in history? Boggles my mind.
Time to make the calls to the WH, AG, Reps and Sens.
I think QUix hit on it- to set an example to other LE personnel. After all, we’re just jugheads typing a keyboard, they’re actually in a position to do somehting about it.
The ‘powers that be’ want that border open at all costs.
“The ‘powers that be’ want that border open at all costs.”
You make a very good point..
Note my tag line...
SO VERY, VERY TRUE !!! We have been sold out by greedy, power hungry politicians from BOTH parties! I'm seriously beginning to wonder of elections are held just to "humor" us voters and the NWO rigs the elections to put in whom they want.
It amazes me how jorge bush defends sutton.
The ‘powers that be’ want that border open at all costs.
Overtax you got that right, btw, did you see the weekly WSJ/Fox Editorial show with Dorothy Rabinowitz...she was amazing in her strong stance against Spitzer’s licensing idiotcy and all the other OB WSJ writers had the deer in the headlights look....she shot up the saloon!
“Certainly this is an era when good is called evil and evil is called good.”
Everyday, more and more, it seems like 1984.
Toooooooooooooo true.
Thankfully, God is still God and still has it all in His hands.
but what He seems to have scheduled in the next several years is . . . not looking like fun and games.
The "Johnny Dangerously" defense. It doesn't get much more ridiculous than this.
In a just world, Johnny Sutton would be dead.
