Outgoing U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton said Monday he still believes he made the right call in prosecuting two then-Border Patrol agents convicted of covering up their shooting of an unarmed drug smuggler in the back.
In a wide-ranging interview since announcing last week that he is resigning April 19, Sutton also said he was voluntarily leaving the job hes had for more than seven years the top federal prosecutor of the San Antonio-based Western District of Texas.
Sutton, who was nominated to the post by President George W. Bush, said he is leaving for a legal job in the private sector, but would not disclose where. He said President Barack Obama had asked current U.S. attorneys to stay on until replacements were chosen.

"buh, bye Johnny. And dont come back."
And do let the door hit you on the ass on the way out. And try not to sustain any brain damage if it does.

Lame piece of reporting. The reporter let him off the hook entirely about the drug dealer, the border crossing pass his office provided the drug dealer (allowing him to bring in at least one more load of dope that we know of) and concealing from the jury the facts about the drug dealer’s activities and criminal record. No doubt he is going into private practice to defend drug dealers.

Wonder how it feels to know that something you did resulted in a) the Presidential nominee from your own party losing significant support from that party's own base, b) the jailing of two men under horrific conditions that resulted in their injury, c) the President of the United States coming under routine and repeated political attack
from his own Congressmen, resulting finally in d) the President of the United States having to finally give in and commute the sentences of the two jailed men.
Really must feel, umm....weird.
Of course, Sutton may not feel anything.
Which I suspect is the answer to why he did it in the first place.
He's a damn fish.

If Obama kept Gates, it would have seemed a slam dunk that he would keep Sutton. But Obama may have found someone who will out-Sutton Sutton.

Sutton sounds like the Nazi Germans defending the murders of millions of Jews.
