Republican Lawmaker Calls for Resignations

Washington, DC (TLS). A Republican Congressman is now calling for the resignations of Department of Homeland Security officials who lied to Congress concerning its 'evidence,' or lack thereof, with regard to the Border Patrol debacle. U.S. Representative Dana Rohrabacher, R-CA, stated that resignations are in order for those within Homeland Security who claimed to have evidence that did not exist, resisted requests by Congress for documentation in the case, and then lied to Congress about that documentation.

The Inspector-General of the Department of Homeland Security, Richard L. Skinner, reported to a House subcommittee in September of 2006 that the Department had evidence that implicated the two Border Patrol agents in felonies.

However, when Skinner appeared before the Committee once again this week, he was questioned about that claim. Skinner stated to Rohrabacher, 'The person who told you that misinformed you.'

That person was Skinner himself. That incident of 'misinformation,' in plain English, means LIE. Thus, Skinner implicated himself in lying to Congress.

Today Rohrabacher called for Skinner's resignation. However, this problem goes far beyond Skinner. Ohers were most definitely involved in the hoax, including U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton, District Judge Kathleen Cardone who presided over the case, and a host of others within the Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Justice Department. A massive scheme of this magnitude, involving retrieving a convicted drug offender from Mexico and giving him immunity to testify against the agents, would have to involve persons in high levels of government. Sutton repeatedly lied about how the illegal alien came to his office. False testimony was secured from persons who were obviously threatened into silence about what they actually knew. The jury in the case never heard or saw critical evidence. And the Judge resisted any effort to release the men pending appeals. Instead, they were quickly whisked off to prison like hardened mass murderers to rot in jail for a dozen years. Most murderers are given lighter sentences.

Somebody, somewhere wanted these two agents out of the picture in a hurry.

The Liberty Sphere demands to know who and for what purpose. The public has a right to know.

We will go a step further than Representative Rohrabacher in calling for Skinner's resignation. Johnny Sutton and Kathleen Cardone should also step down. They should also face investigations for misconduct, possibly a felonious attempt to frame two innocent men.

These actions of corrupt government officials are too serious, too damaging to the credibility of the criminal justice system in America, that much more than a simple resignation is in order. It is a felony to wilfully and knowingly prosecute and convict innocent citizens. We have LOADS of evidence that government officials knew exactly what they were doing. If this is the case, then they should face jail time.

No one in this country is above the law. Not the President, not the U.S. Attorney, not the Judge, and nobody in the Department of Homeland Security. Lying to Congress is a crime as well. Those who did so must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law to show to the citizens of this country that there is still a tiny bit of integrity left in the criminal justice system. Anything less will send an ominous signal with far-reaching consequences that bode ill for this Republic.
