Washington, DC (TLS). On Tuesday of this week, U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton, the Bush crony from Texas who has the responsibility to prosecute cases involving the nation's southern border, gave testimony before a Senate subcommittee.
The subcommittee is investigating government wrongdoing in the handling of the Ramos-Compean case. Agents Ramos and Compean are the two Border Patrol Agents who were falsely accused, tried, convicted, and sent to prison for over a decade for shooting an illegal alien drug smuggler in the buttocks.
The Liberty Sphere has posted a series of op-eds on this case, showing ample evidence from multiple sources indicating that these two Agents are the victims of a Bush Administration smear-job in order to protect its precious relationship with the corrupt Mexican government.
We already know Administration officials in the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security lied to Congressional Republicans investigating this case. These particular officials even admitted to their lies.
And now the point-man himself, Johnny Sutton, also lies to Congress.
This time, however, those lies are going to a Senate subcommittee under the control of the Bush Administration's arch-enemies rather than the members of the President's own Party in the House.
This begs the question as to why the Bush Administration would lie and stonewall to a group of Republicans who at least have some loyalty to the President, knowing full well that the investigation would eventually wind up in the hands of totally hostile political enemies in the Senate.
Sutton's testimony before the subcommittee chaired by Senator Dianne Feinstein, D-CA, was filled with misleading statements, deflections, half-truths, innuendo, and outright untruths. He left more questions unanswered than is acceptable.
Republican Senators who heard the testimony expressed deep frustration and a sense of incredulity over Sutton's obvious, overt non-answers and untruths.
And as for the Democrats, Senator Feinstein fired off a memo to President Bush stating that the two Border Patrol agents need to be freed from prison. Once she heard the unbelievable testimony of Sutton, the stage was set for a hostile confrontation with the President.
As we have done at least a dozen times over the past year, The Liberty Sphere calls on George W. Bush to bring himself to do the right thing and release from prison these innocent and falsely-accused men. We call for the outright dismissal of Johnny Sutton and anybody else in the Administration who lied to Congress about this case.
We also call for the President to take full responsibility for this debacle and travesty of justice at the hands of government officials, and then clean house.
Once again, unless Mr. Bush takes these steps now on his own, the nation is in for a coup at the hands of the Democrats in 2008, who will then proceed to clean house by throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
Is this what you want, Mr. President?
The Liberty Sphere predicts that anything short of a full housecleaning by the President himself will result in more Republican casualties in 2008 than that which occurred in 1974 in the aftermath of the Nixon Watergate Scandal.
And at that point the President's legacy will be that he was worse than Nixon in nearly destroying the Republican Party.

The whole Justice Dept is full of fraudulent activities and knuckleheads!! They have no real clue what they're up against if they continue to assault American's Rights,do they?!?!They've totally twisted the people up since 9/11,using it as the reason for all this "security" and "restrictions"
Lets see here.
Now WHY would the "corrupt Bush administration" want to be nice to that nasty corrupt Mexican Government"
you stupid retard, perhaps its because MEXICO is one of the top 3 sources of OIL IMPORTS for the US.
NOT IRAQ like most libtards think.
As for Ramos and Campeon, they shot someone as he was RUNNING AWAY!
perhaps you like your law enforcement personnel to come in the "jackbooted thug" variety, but I don't.
Rule of law is for everyone...not just for those who can afford it..
Both border officers didn't report shooting the suspect. sounds to me like they were trying to score a van full of weed.
BUT I don't agree with the way Johnny Sutton went about handling the case, nor the half truths and fabrications that he made in order to get his convictions.
But then again, I don't like the way Libby was railroaded either. Valerie Plame was nothing more than an agent provocateur' and to explain it in simple terms, anyone who goes to work at the cia office and sits behind a desk, isn't that covert.
I didn't like the way Clinton gave out over 140 pardons on his last day of the presidency...pardons that covered just about every gamut of violations except murder.
Tower,
The facts in the Ramos/Compean case show that Border Patrol supervisors were on the scene at the time of the incident. Thus, it is simply not true that Ramos and Compean tried to cover it up.
Their failure to report the incident is that those to whom they would have reported were THERE, at the scene.
I disagree that Ramos and Compean are the jackbooted thug variety of law enforcement officers. They were trying to protect our borders from illegal entry.
