Rohrabacher: Bush Arrogant, Shows Contempt

Washington, DC (TLS). Using his strongest language yet to lash out at President Bush, U.S. House Representative Dana Rohrabacher, R-CA, described the President as 'arrogant' and exhibiting an utter 'contempt' for Congress in the Border Patrol scandal.

Rohrabacher made his remarks in a speech before the U.S. House on Monday afternoon.

Claiming that in response to the outcry of Congressmen such as Rohrabacher, Duncan Hunter, Tom Tancredo, and others, who have all but begged the President for a pardon for the two falsely accused agents, Bush instead 'dug in his heels' and stubbornly refused to hear the mountain of evidence concerning Johnny Sutton's lies, the lies of the Department of Homeland Security, and the pain suffered by the two agents and their families.

The Department of Homeland Security, said Rohrabacher, is raging out of control with nobody truly at the helm to make sure justice is done. The Department has just now released transcripts of the Ramos-Compean trial, a full two years after the incident at the Border took place, despite persistent requests from Congress that the documents be released.

Rohrabacher further described other incidents of foot-dragging on the part of Homeland Security in providing much-needed information on the case--a case in which the Department admitted it lied.

The Congressman points the finger directly at Johnny Sutton, Alberto Gonzalez, and President Bush in fixing the blame for the debacle. In spite of written documentation proving that the government violated the chain of custody in handling vital evidence of bullet fragments in the case, and in spite of the fact that a Homeland Security official allowed the illegal alien drug smuggler to stay overnight at his personal residence after his release from the hospital, the government doggedly pursued the prosecution of agents Ramos and Compean, suppressing evidence that most assuredly would have changed the opinion of the jury.

In a display that shows just how passionately Rohrabacher feels about this case, the Congressman angrily suggested that Bush has become a puppet of the Mexican government when it comes to our southern border and that law enforcement agents are prosecuted at Mexico's bidding.

Rohrabacher stated that a Congressional investigation would ensue into charges of undue influence-peddling by the Mexican government in the U.S. judicial system--illegal activity that has been met with no objection from the Justice Department, Attorney-General Gonzalez, or President Bush.

The Liberty Sphere reported many weeks ago that this one case could spell the unraveling of the Bush Presidency. In the midst of ridiculous and laughable saber-rattling by Democrats on such insignificant matters as the firing of eight U.S. Attorneys (because the Dems are afraid their replacements will investigate in earnest the ample corruption of Congressional Democrats), the one thing that could legitimately bring down the Bush Presidency has been conspicuously ignored by Democrats.

This is because they share culpability with the President over our nation's despicable practice of deliberately failing to enforce federal law on illegal aliens.

Once more, I would like to remind the President, Attorney-General Gonzalez, Johnny Sutton, and at least 300 Democrats that the U.S. Code plainly states that aiding and abetting illegal aliens is a FELONY.

I am almost at the point of charging ALL of them with committing felonies and getting rid of the entire lot.

The nation can be most thankful that 2008 is on the way!
