Border Patrol Hoax: What We Know So Far

Washington, DC (TLS). Three days have passed since the Department of Homeland Security admitted to lying to Congress about the evidence in the Border Patrol Hoax. Washington has been abuzz with outrage, suspicion, accusations, and shock over the mishandling of the case by the Federal Government, which sent two innocent men to prison.

In the midst of the aftermath of the government's bombshell admission of lies, here is what we know so far.

1. The Mexican who attempted to cross the border with drugs was breaking the law. He is therefore an illegal alien, even if he possessed no drugs at all. The Border Patrol Agents were totally within U.S. Law to apprehend a lawbreaker attempting to enter the country illegally.

2. The illegal alien, who was shot in the buttocks by one of the Agents, did not sustain life-threatening injuries.

3. The illegal alien is now suing the federal government--a common ploy of law-breakers who attempt to enter the country illegally and get injured in the process.

4. U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton, a Bush crony from Texas, and a Bush appointee, unleashed the maximum charges possible against the two Agents, painting them as 'bad cops.'

5. Neither Sutton nor the Department of Homeland Security possessed any proof or evidence that the two Agents were 'bad cops.'

6. The Department of Homeland Security lied to Congress about the evidence it claimed it had on the two Agents, but which later admitted it did NOT have.

7. Sutton lied in several different settings and news outlets concerning the manner in which the illegal alien came to his office to register a complaint. Sutton claims he showed up with an attorney. This turned out to be a lie. In fact, Sutton tracked down the illegal alien, who was already known by the feds, and offered him immunity for testifying against the two Agents. Thus, the law-breaker did not approach Sutton but was tracked down in Mexico to secure his testimony.

8. Judge Kathleen Cardone, another Bush crony and appointee, refused to allow information concerning the illegal alien's drug activity to be admitted in court.

9. The verdict issued by the jury was blatantly excessive given the nature of the incident. One Agent is serving 12 years, the other 11 years.

10. Judge Cardone refused to allow release of the Agents pending investigations by Congress into the incident and trial. Instead, they were quickly whisked away to jail as if they were hardened and dangerous mass murderers.

11. Although Johnny Sutton assured the public that the two Agents would be under a high level of protection while in prison, and kept apart from the general prison population, one of the Agents was moved to a medium security prison in Mississippi where he was placed squarely in the middle of the general prison population, despite assurances from Sutton.

12. The Agent was severely beaten by other inmates the day he arrived at the Mississippi facility.

These are the facts and not conjecture. This is what we KNOW...12 sordid and despicable facts that all point to a set-up job by somebody, somewhere in government. That person or persons need to face justice for breaking the laws of this nation.
