The latest in this miscarriage of justice involves the partner of the drug smuggler Ramos and Compean were trying to apprehend has “struck a deal” with federal prosecutors. The agreement, strangely for a case like this, has also been placed under seal. This is now beginning to sound like we’re in Bolivia instead of the United States of America.
Smuggler’s Partner Pleads Guilty in Border Agents Case
The owner of a “stash” house who allegedly worked with a Mexican drug smuggler shot by Border Patrol agents has struck a deal with federal prosecutors.
Cipriano Ortiz-Hernandez pleaded guilty last week to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute more than 1,000 kilograms of marijuana. Cybercast News Service reported last month that Ortiz-Hernandez owned the stash house where Osvaldo Aldrete-Davila of Mexico made drug shipments in October 2005.
Ortiz-Hernandez’ plea agreement comes after members of Congress criticized a federal prosecutor for granting a “humanitarian” pass for Aldrete-Davila to enter and exit the United States unescorted. Aldrete Davila, already given immunity for one drug charge, reportedly smuggled more marijuana into the country to be stored at the home of Cipriano Ortiz-Hernandez. Terms of Ortiz-Hernandez’ plea agreement are sealed. The sentencing hearing is set for Nov. 2.
Okay watching this I am wondering how many of the US Attorneys in the border states are on the take!! Is Johnny Sutton on the payroll of a drug cartel?
This just turns my stomach that these drug runners, drug kingpins are being given free reign to operate their businesses while law enforcement officers are being put in prison.
People of Johnny Sutton’s ilk are especially dangerous because they DO operate entirely within the law but without any moral compass or allegiance to the national spirit or fabric. It is disgusting and someday this behavior will be recognized for its criminality. There was a time when treason and sedition were not a question of situational ethics and relative morality.
Sutton is another Nifong !!!
Free Ramos and Compean now! Full pardon, whatever it takes.
Alberto Gonzales, you’re good at this (only Slick Willie was better): terminate U.S. Attorney Sutton immediately — he’s clearly demonstrated that he hasn’t a clue what law-enforcement is all about; he’s a political hack of the first order, GWB’s buddy or not; compensation out of his salary to Ramos and Compean, and their families, should you deign to keep this moron on American taxpayers’ dole, is not out of line in the least – call it a “garnishment of wages for a debt sorely owed.”
Why can’t an anti-American rogue US Attorney be among the eight fired that Leahy has his underwear in a knot over?
