Attorney-General Alberto Gonzalez has resigned. Perhaps now the Department of Justice can set about to clean itself up and streamline its operation, that is, if President Bush is of a mind to salvage what remains of his tainted reputation.
Gonzalez presided over what may well be the most corrupt era in the history of the DOJ. That corruption has absolutely nothing to do with the firing of the eight Federal Prosecutors, which the Democrats seem the think is of grave national importance.
Rather, the DOJ has been grossly negligent in enforcing the nation's immigration laws and protecting our borders. A rogue Federal Prosecutor by the name of Johnny Sutton has been allowed to conduct what amounts to a reign of terror at the southern border against our Border Patrol agents.
Two of those agents were falsely charged, prosecuted, and imprisoned for merely doing what their country called upon them to do. But they are not alone. Countless other local law enforcement officials have been forced to endure the Sutton witch-hunts against ANY officer of the law who dares enforce the nation's laws against illegal aliens.
Of course, nothing has been done about it. Sutton is a Bush crony from Texas. Gonzalez was a Bush crony from Texas. Both have come close to permanently and irreparably soiling the President's reputation.
In addition to the DOJ's failure to bring under control the nation's lamentable illegal alien problem, it has also failed to reign in one of the most dangerous, corrupt, and oppressive operations within the federal government, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.
Formerly known as the ATF, the BATFE, to put it bluntly, is simply not needed. It should be discontinued and buried quickly.
This wing of the Department of Justice has been the source of some of the nation's most memorable and unnecessary tragedies, such as Ruby Ridge and the Branch Davidian compound.
Today, their reign of terror is being conducted against gun shop owners and gun and ammo manufacturers.
Granted, these travesties of justice did not begin with the Bush Administration. Many of the present policies were initiated under George the First and exacerbated by the Clinton Administration. The problem under George the Second has been ineptitude and the failure to correct misguided policies of the past.
The President could do himself and the rest of us a big favor by cleaning up the Department of Justice, bringing to a fitting end the travesties of justice cited above--now that Gonzalez is out.
Upon hearing the news about the resignation of Gonzalez, one pundit quipped, 'This will have Democrats dancing in the streets.'
My friends, if Democrats are dancing in the streets over this, then Republicans and Libertarians are doing cartwheels.

WHERE IS THAT BORDER FENCE?
Washington, DC (TLS). Increasingly citizens are asking the question, 'Where is that border fence?'
They have a right to be concerned.
Two years ago Congress approved the 700-mile fence that would help Border Patrol agents keep illegals out of the country. So far, only a fraction of the fence has been built in spite of more-than-adequate appropriations from Congress to do so.
Most of that which has already been built is in U.S. Representative Duncan Hunter's district in San Diego, which the Congressman insisted be built. Hunter is a strong proponent of strict measures to prevent the continued onslaught of illegal aliens.
Yet the Bush Administration and a Democratic Congress have been dragging their feet getting the rest of the job done. This is an outrage. Perhaps it is time to remind the esteemed members of Congress that an election is coming up next year, and increasingly Americans are feeling the outrage concerning the lack of attention to the border fence and illegal aliens in general.
And no, the Kennedy-McCain-Bush immigration bill is NOT enough!

Yet Another Border Patrol Agent Charged with Murder
Washington, DC (TLS). In what is becoming an all-too-familiar scene at our nation's southern border, yet another of America's Border Patrol Agents has been charged with murder.
Is it just me, or does it seem that nearly every week or so a Border Patrol agent is charged with murder?
In this case the agent was being threatened with having his head bashed in with a rock carried by an illegal alien. The agent shot the alien in self-defense.
Yet once again, at the bidding of the Mexican Consulate, U.S. Attorneys at our southern border are aggressively pursuing Border Patrol Agents who use deadly force to defend themselves against illegal aliens who are clearly intent on doing them harm.
Once again, Congress turns its head, the President does nothing, and the Mexican government is allowed to dictate prosecutorial discretion in these cases. The President, the Congress, and the Administration have abdicated their Constitutional mandate to protect our borders and have allowed undue meddling in the affairs of the U.S. judiciary by the Mexican government.

The 'Nifonging' of the American Public
Charlotte, NC (TLS). The infamous case of Prosecutor Mike Nifong, who has been charged by the North Carolina Bar with prosecutorial misconduct, lying to the court, and ethics violations, has become a metaphor for the aggressive prosecution of the innocent by state's attorneys with ulterior motives.
Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald charged Scooter Libby with a crime he did not commit, the basis of which was not even a crime at all. Instead of going after the real source of the leak, Mr. Richard Armitage, Fitzgerald chose instead to railroad Scooter Libby into facing charges of a crime which is not really a crime--which is why Armitage was not charged in the first place...meaning, of course, that the entire trial was a sham from start to finish--a political set-up job by a rogue Special Prosecutor with an ax to grind with Vice President Dick Cheney over the War in Iraq.
U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton of El Paso, Texas has relentlessly and mercilessly targeted law enforcement officials in the state of Texas who have jurisdiction over the counties and municipalities near or at the southern border. Not only that but he has exhibited a penchant for punishing conscientious Border Patrol agents who are doing their best to uphold federal law by protecting our borders against illegal aliens.
Despite the clear wording of the United States Code, which states that the aiding and abetting of illegal aliens is a felony, Sutton has proceeded to aid and abet the aliens by prosecuting the law enforcement officials who apprehend them.
In case after case, various news organizations such as CNS News Service and WorldNetDaily have documented a paper trail of blatant prosecutorial misconduct on the part of Johnny Sutton in going after innocent men who attempt to guard our borders and uphold FEDERAL law.
Yet so far not a single move has been made to investigate Sutton or remove him from these cases, in spite of desperate pleas by Republican Congressmen who are familiar with Sutton and his misdeeds.
Regardless of what ANYONE says in Sutton's defense, the message he is sending to Mexico and to American citizens is that there are two sets of laws that govern this nation--one for illegal aliens, and one for the rest of us. And if one of the 'rest of us' dares to enforce the laws of the United States Code in apprehending illegal aliens at the border, that person will have hell to pay in a court of law, including a lengthy term of imprisonment.
Thus, Sutton is making it clear that when it comes to illegal aliens, the law be damned.
And the message that Mexico hears is, 'Gee, we can rape and plunder America all we want. We don't have to worry about immigration laws. We have Sutton at the border to protect us!'
Despite all of this accumulation of graft, President George W. Bush still stubbornly refuses to issue pardons to Border Patrol agents Ramos and Compean. And his crony Johnny Sutton is still sitting at the Border waiting for an honorable law enforcement official to do his job...so that he can haul his sorry butt to court.
It is Sutton's sorry butt that needs to be rotting in prison rather than Ramos and Compean. The man is committing felonies right and left by aiding and abetting illegal aliens.
And then we come to South Carolina, where Allenna Williams Ward awaits her court hearing on April 2, under charges of engaging in criminal sexual conduct with under-age teenage boys. The state's attorney in the case, Jerry Peace, sorely needs to score a victory on a teacher sex scandal case. Two previous situations went nowhere in a hurry, and those who pressure state's attorneys, in addition to the self-pressure of prosecutors, on the basis of 'wins' rather than true justice being done seem to believe that Ward is an easy target to make a point.
Peace's behavior in this case has been suspect for many various reasons, not the least of which is that he did not adhere to his usual practice of pleading out cases such as this when he feels his case is solid. From what The Liberty Sphere can tell so far, in carefully researching the details, the charges, the logistics, etc., Allenna Williams Ward is a naive, sheltered young woman who may have engaged in some boundary violations with the teenagers. But boundary violations do not equal criminal sexual behavior. Lack of maturity and wisdom in what would normally be called harmless behavior is NOT child molestation or rape.
Although the teachers of the Bell Street Elementary School are under a gag order concerning Ward, it is clear that when they speak in general terms about the case there is a state of disbelief that Ward would engage in the activities the charges indicate.
In fact, not a single shred of supporting evidence in terms of Ward's character, behavior, reputation, demeanor, or deportment in the least bit suggests any tendencies toward the acts with which she is charged.
So far, the only evidence against her is the word of a few 14-15 year old boys.
Even the attorney representing three of the boys cannot produce any physical evidence proving that a text message was sent by Ward to his client telling him to 'keep his mouth shut,'
neither does the state's attorney possess any proof that such a text message exists.
In addition, the so-called cell-phone picture, the supposed 'smoking gun,' is so far nothing more than hearsay perpetrated by those with a vested interest in covering their tracks, since NOBODY--not the prosecutor, not law enforcement, and not the attorney representing the boys--possesses such a photo. In fact, the rumor of a cell-phone photo has the smell of an after-thought--a means to shore up what is beginning to look like a sham of a story, a made-up tale by teenagers gone bad.
So far, neither the infamous text message nor the infamous photo have been produced. Thus, we can only assume they do not exist.
Unless someone can produce the proof that Ward sent that message, and that the message referred specifically to the crimes she is accused of committing, and unless someone can place Ward at the motel in question, or in any of the other public places where the supposed encounters took place, then it would appear that Peace has no case. And if it turns out that the boys lied about the existence of a cell phone photo, then it will be clear that these wayward teenagers made a mockery of the United States Judicial System.
Thus, Ward would be yet another innocent citizen to be 'nifonged.'
The sad and frightening scenario that is developing in the wake of all of these miscarriages of justice is that the entire criminal justice system in America is under siege by dishonest individuals who do not care in the least that the law is upheld or that justice is done, but only that they get to add another 'notch to their belt,' or that they can accomplish a subversive agenda, such as the deliberate violation of the nation's immigration laws.
If the persons who hold the title of District Attorney, or State's Attorney, or U.S. Attorney, or Special Prosecutor, are not basically honest persons of integrity, then no one in America is safe from having their reputations ruined and their good names dragged through the mud. A dishonest person with that kind of power is not only a scourge to the nation but a dangerous cancer growing on the legal system.
How many innocent persons sit rotting in jail because of these deceptive thugs?
Unless these individuals are rooted out of their positions of power, then the entire judicial system of the United States of America is suspect. The system of a free Constitutional Republic depends upon the integrity of the men and women who hold its offices. If these individuals cannot be trusted, then the entire system fails.
I have just named four individuals within the system who either cannot be trusted outright, or who are at least under some suspicion.
The question is, do these high-profile individuals represent the state of the system as a whole, or are they exceptions to the rule? The more that cases like this dominate the news, and the longer we as a society allow the dishonest to get away with it, the more it appears that their lack of integrity is the norm. We are witnessing the nifonging of the American public.
President George W. Bush could do the entire nation a favor by setting a good example for others among the various states to follow. He could remove Sutton from office and investigate him for prosecutorial misconduct, lying to the court, and for violating the code of ethics. He could pardon the accused law enforcement officials who have suffered under the heavy-handedness of Sutton's oppression.
If the President sets such an example, this could well be the signal that dishonesty in prosecuting cases will not be tolerated anywhere within the United States of America.
Such a Presidential move is long overdue.

Johnny Sutton Is At It Again
Washington, DC (TLS). U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton of El Paso, Texas is at it again. This time he is seeking a seven-year prison term for a Texas law enforcement official who supposedly 'violated the civil rights' of an illegal alien the lawman had apprehended.
It was Sutton who was largely responsible for the lengthy prison terms of the two Border Patrol agents who shot at an illegal alien drug smuggler, hitting him in the buttocks. Agents Ramos and Compean are serving 11 and 12-year sentences.
Sutton is proving himself to be a one-man hit squad, targeting American law enforcement officials who are doing the job they were hired to do--protect the border from illegal aliens. Since illegal aliens are law-breakers, these law enforcement officials are correct in apprehending them, including the use of force if necessary.
But the U.S. Attorney in the area apparently believes that any U.S. law enforcement official who dares enforce our laws against illegal aliens should be severely punished.
Perhaps someone should remind Johnny Sutton that aiding and abetting illegal aliens is a FELONY under the U.S. Code.
Thus, it is Sutton who should be serving a lengthy prison term.

Rohrabacher: 'Bush Doesn't Give a Damn'
Washington, DC (TLS). A Republican Congressman in the U.S. House of Representatives stated that President Bush 'doesn't give a damn' about the lives of the two Border Patrol agents who sit in prison, their request to be released on bond pending an appeal of their conviction denied. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-CA, made the charge in response to the court's decision to deny the release of the two falsely accused agents who shot an illegal alien drug smuggler from Mexico in the buttocks.
According to Rep. Rohrabacher, 'the lives of agents Ramos and Compean are obviously at risk, and the President not only doesn't care about securing our southern border, he doesn't give a damn about those who protect it.'
Rohrabacher lays the blame for the entire fiasco directly at the feet of the President of the United States, whom the Congressman says is more concerned about the public relations nightmare with Mexico in the event of the release of the two agents than he is about their lives. Fear of the damage the release of the two would do to Bush's reputation with the Mexican government is the driving factor in the President's refusal to issue pardons, according to Rohrabacher.
The Liberty Sphere agrees. As we reported on Friday, nothing that has come to light about the case in the last few weeks has done anything but reinforce initial suspicions that the two Border Patrol agents are the victims of a government set-up job. The Department of Homeland Security admitted to Congress that it lied in order to secure a conviction of the two men.
Yet the President still refuses to pardon the agents or reprimand government officials handling the case. At the very least investigations should ensue into gross misconduct, and high crimes and misdemeanors, on the part of at least a dozen or more government officials connected with the case.
The longer the President waits to act the more he himself is implicated in this sordid mess.

Border Patrol Agents' Bond Request Denied
Washington, DC (TLS). With each passing day the case of the Border Patrol agents who fired at an illegal alien drug runner becomes more troubling. No murder was committed. The alien was shot in the buttocks, which is by no means life-threatening. Yet, these two American patriots were send to prison for a dozen years and are being denied bond.
Why?
The latest request that the two agents be released on bond pending appeal of the verdict has been denied by the court. This makes absolutely no sense. In fact, not a single detail of this story makes any sense whatsoever...UNLESS someone in the highest levels of government knows more than has been disclosed.
The most troubling fact of all, however, is that what they know is designed to protect an illegal alien drug runner by hauling off to jail the very law enforcement officials at the border who uncovered the crime. Obviously, someone, somewhere wants the two silenced, out of the way, and muzzled.
It is highly suspicious that two law enforcement officials would be given sentences amounting to 12 years for one, and 11 years for the other, when the very worst thing that happened is that an illegal alien drug runner got shot in the buttocks. Add to that the murky story of lies in the Department of Homeland Security, which was admitted to Congress in a hearing a few weeks ago.
Why would the government lie in order to incarcerate two law enforcement officials if the truth were enough to convict them?
The simple answer is that the truth does NOT convict them at all. Therefore, a plot to deceive had to be devised by the Department of Homeland Security in order to make sure they were convicted. If the government has to tell lies in order to gain a conviction, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that telling the truth would result in an unacceptable scenario for the Department of Homeland Security, namely, that the two agents would be found not guilty of the charges.
The question persists as to why, exactly, the government wanted so badly to see these two men imprisoned. The fact that a known drug runner from Mexico was given complete immunity, was never charged with his crimes, and was used to testify against two Americans in OUR courts, certainly does not help the government's case. In fact, all of the facts point to high-level misconduct, reaching from U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton and Judge Kathleen Cardone all the way to the highest levels of the Department of Homeland Security, which has already admitted to lies in the case.
Under normal circumstances, the mere fact that the prosecution, which in this case is the U.S. Government, lied to the court would be enough for the case to be declared a mistrial and the defendants released from prison.
Not in this case.
Why?
Theories abound as to why. Yet the most plausible theory we have heard to date has to do with the illegal alien himself and his connections both to the U.S. Government AND to the government of Mexico.
In short, the drug runner from Mexico has high-level friends in both governments. This scenario would begin to explain why a simple case of law enforcement doing its duty to subdue a criminal would turn into a three-ring circus resulting in two innocent men going to jail for over a decade. It would also begin to explain government deception, cover-up, and a steadfast refusal by the U.S. officials to release the two on bond, despite the fact we now know they were convicted on the basis of government lies.
It would also begin to explain why George W. Bush has been so very willing to risk his reputation and support among the members of his own Party by his steadfast refusal to issue pardons.
But the question that remains unanswered is just who, exactly, is this illegal alien drug runner that the governments of Mexico and the United States are trying so hard to protect, even at the expense of throwing two innocent American citizens in jail?
Perhaps this, too, is part of the cover-up. To know the full identity of this criminal would lead to discoveries about his game and his CONTACTS. And THAT, my friends, apparently is something that no one in the Bush Administration wants anyone to know.
The Liberty Sphere has suggested before that this could well mean the complete unraveling of the Bush Presidency. We stand by that initial assessment. Nothing that has come to light in the past two weeks since the government admitted to Congress that it lied has served to ease suspicions. Rather, ever single fact that has been made public about this case serves as cause for only more suspicion.
It is our assessment that Mr. Bush is walking on thin ice with this case. He has lost the respect of some members of his own Party over this debacle, and he has created suspicion in the minds of others who previously had given him unwavering support. The talk of impeachment by Congressional Republicans is not empty rhetoric. Some of these admirable patriots are willing to put aside political loyalty for honor.
Something very dishonorable has happened in the Border Patrol case, and everyone knows it. Only the President at this point can correct this stain on the Republic by issuing pardons to the two agents, and launching investigations into high crimes and misdemeanors on the part of government officials, including the Department of Homeland Security.
If this is not done, the President can rest assured that Congressional Republicans will launch their own investigation into high crimes and misdemeanors, except this time that investigation will target the President himself.
Why?
The latest request that the two agents be released on bond pending appeal of the verdict has been denied by the court. This makes absolutely no sense. In fact, not a single detail of this story makes any sense whatsoever...UNLESS someone in the highest levels of government knows more than has been disclosed.

The question persists as to why, exactly, the government wanted so badly to see these two men imprisoned. The fact that a known drug runner from Mexico was given complete immunity, was never charged with his crimes, and was used to testify against two Americans in OUR courts, certainly does not help the government's case. In fact, all of the facts point to high-level misconduct, reaching from U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton and Judge Kathleen Cardone all the way to the highest levels of the Department of Homeland Security, which has already admitted to lies in the case.
Under normal circumstances, the mere fact that the prosecution, which in this case is the U.S. Government, lied to the court would be enough for the case to be declared a mistrial and the defendants released from prison.
Not in this case.
Why?
Theories abound as to why. Yet the most plausible theory we have heard to date has to do with the illegal alien himself and his connections both to the U.S. Government AND to the government of Mexico.
In short, the drug runner from Mexico has high-level friends in both governments. This scenario would begin to explain why a simple case of law enforcement doing its duty to subdue a criminal would turn into a three-ring circus resulting in two innocent men going to jail for over a decade. It would also begin to explain government deception, cover-up, and a steadfast refusal by the U.S. officials to release the two on bond, despite the fact we now know they were convicted on the basis of government lies.
It would also begin to explain why George W. Bush has been so very willing to risk his reputation and support among the members of his own Party by his steadfast refusal to issue pardons.
But the question that remains unanswered is just who, exactly, is this illegal alien drug runner that the governments of Mexico and the United States are trying so hard to protect, even at the expense of throwing two innocent American citizens in jail?
Perhaps this, too, is part of the cover-up. To know the full identity of this criminal would lead to discoveries about his game and his CONTACTS. And THAT, my friends, apparently is something that no one in the Bush Administration wants anyone to know.
The Liberty Sphere has suggested before that this could well mean the complete unraveling of the Bush Presidency. We stand by that initial assessment. Nothing that has come to light in the past two weeks since the government admitted to Congress that it lied has served to ease suspicions. Rather, ever single fact that has been made public about this case serves as cause for only more suspicion.
It is our assessment that Mr. Bush is walking on thin ice with this case. He has lost the respect of some members of his own Party over this debacle, and he has created suspicion in the minds of others who previously had given him unwavering support. The talk of impeachment by Congressional Republicans is not empty rhetoric. Some of these admirable patriots are willing to put aside political loyalty for honor.
Something very dishonorable has happened in the Border Patrol case, and everyone knows it. Only the President at this point can correct this stain on the Republic by issuing pardons to the two agents, and launching investigations into high crimes and misdemeanors on the part of government officials, including the Department of Homeland Security.
If this is not done, the President can rest assured that Congressional Republicans will launch their own investigation into high crimes and misdemeanors, except this time that investigation will target the President himself.

FLASH! Mexico Behind Border Patrol Hoax!
Washington, DC (TLS). The Border Patrol scandal, which resulted in two innocent officers being sent to prison for a dozen years, gets deeper and more sinister by the day. WorldNetDaily News, which first broke the story, has obtained documents showing beyond dispute that the Mexican government pushed for the prosecution of the two Border Patrol agents.
Are we surprised?
The thing that everyone knew but did not dare say has now been documented. U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton did the bidding of the Mexican Consulate in bringing charges against the two men. In addition, the Mexican Consulate also demanded that charges be brought against the County Sheriff in Texas, who was also involved in the incident at the border. Once again, Johnny Sutton did the bidding of the Mexican government and brought charges against the Sheriff as well.
U.S. House Representative John Culbertson, R-TX, once again expressed his outrage: 'We have long suspected Mexican government officials ordered the prosecution of our law enforcement agents. Mexico wants to intimidate our law enforcement into leaving our border unprotected, and now we have it in writing.'
Sadly, the Bush Administration, including the President himself, continues to be implicated in this sordid fiasco and travesty of American justice. The Administration has created a climate with Mexico that makes it very difficult for U.S. immigration laws to be properly enforced. Once again, America's soul continues to be sold to Mexico in the name of diplomacy and 'friendly relations.'
This isn't friendly anymore. Two innocent men were thrown into prison to rot because Bush administration officials cow-towed to Mexican government officials who want our borders left completely unprotected against law-breakers.
At his daily Press briefing yesterday, White House Press Secretary Tony Snow stated that he wished for 'cooler heads to prevail' in this case. Apparently Mr. Snow and the Administration do not realize that with each passing day more evidence emerges that makes 'cool heads' impossible. This is an outrage that needs an immediate solution by the President.
Johnny Sutton needs to go. Judge Kathleen Cardone needs to go. And at least a half-dozen or more personnel at the Department of Homeland Security need to go. Unless the President takes these necessary steps, including a Presidential pardon for the two Agents, this ugly scenario is going to explode into a full-scale scandal that will leave a dark stain on the Republic for years to come.

U.S. Senate Investigates Border Patrol Debacle
Washington, DC (TLS). The U.S. Senate has renewed its investigation into the Border Patrol incident by calling for investigations into the beating of one of the convicted agents in a Mississippi prison. Before the close of the last session of the Senate in 2006, Republicans had initiated the investigations, but those deliberations were stalled with the election of a new Democrat majority.
However, as increasing pressure mounts from the U.S. House of Representatives to open investigations into lies, corruption, and a possible felonious conviction of two innocent men, the Senate has decided to re-open its own investigation into the the entire ordeal.
Democrats in the Senate have joined Congressional Republicans in raising serious questions about the illegal alien involved in the case, the actions of the two Agents, and the subsequent prosecution of the Agents by the federal government, which admitted this week to lying about the evidence to secure a conviction
The renewed interest in this case by the Senate is welcome news. However, it is clear that Senate Democrats have been dragging their feet in placing the case under scrutiny. In fact, there has been a conspicuous wall of silence among Democrats about this entire fiasco, more than likely due to their complicity in the sordid scheme to ignore U.S. Law on illegal aliens and contribute to the rush on America by illegals.
Democrats have always found loyal voters among illegal aliens.
Thus, time will tell as to how serious Senate Democrats are in tracking down the ugly truth about this case. My hunch is their only motivation in launching the investigation is the potential to hang Bush with it. We can also expect the Demos to walk gingerly through this quagmire so as not to stir up even more anti-illegal alien sentiment among the citizens, who are already enraged by the abject failure of both Democrats and Republicans to truly address this explosive problem.

More GOP Outrage at Bush over Border Patrol Debacle
Washington, DC (TLS). A growing chorus of voices within the Republican Party are expressing dismay and outright bitterness toward the Bush Administration's handling of the Border Patrol incident, resulting in two innocent men being cast into prison for lengthy sentences. Among those publicly voicing the growing discontent are Representatives Dana Rohrabacher, Ted Poe, Walter Jones, Marsha Blackburn, and Presidential candidates Duncan Hunter and Tom Tancredo--all Republicans.
While Hunter and Tancredo express confidence that the President will do the right thing and either pardon the men or release them at least until a review of the case can be completed, Rohrabacher, Jones, and Blackburn have expressed deep concern about the apparent gross government mishandling of the case--a trail that leads all the way to the Oval Office. Rohrabacher on Wednesday stated that the President will face impeachment hearings if any more harm befalls the two falsely charged agents while they are imprisoned.

Is This the Beginning of the End of the Bush Presidency?
Washington, DC (TLS). A dark cloud has descended upon the nation's capital over the past 24 hours. What began as whispers in the corners of hallways around the beltway is now becoming an angry, demanding crescendo of outrage directed at the President of the United States, the Department of Justice, and the Department of Homeland Security. One Republican lawmaker publicly warned the President late Wednesday that impeachment looms in his future if immediate action is not taken to correct a most dreadful travesty of justice, the imprisonment of two Border Patrol Agents about whom the government admits it lied in order to secure their conviction.
The thing that is adding fuel to the fire concerning the possibility of impeachment is the fact that one of the Agents was beaten to within an inch of his life over the weekend in a prison facility in which he was placed along with the general prison population--something that the government promised and assured the public it would NOT do. The attack has resulted in outrage among Republican lawmakers on the Hill. U.S. House Representative Dana Rohrabacher, R-CA, was so enraged that he directly issued a warning to the President. Rohrabacher stated at a news conference late Wednesday, "I tell you Mr. President, if these men - especially after this assault - are murdered in prison, or if they lose their lives, there's going to be some sort of impeachment talk in Capitol Hill."
Rep. Rohrabacher is not the only one within the President's own party that are talking impeachment. Republicans are finally getting the message through their thick skulls that Americans are completely fed up with the government's conduct on the issue of illegal aliens. They are sick of people being allowed to work here, get medical care here, and receive an education here who do not go by the rules like everyone else who wishes to be good citizens...citizens who obey the laws of their adopted country. Americans are fed up with employers who look the other way when hiring those they know to be illegal aliens so that they can save a few bucks. And Americans are completely enraged that nothing is being done to secure our border.
And let me digress for just a moment to issue a warning to Democrats about this. Don't think that you escape culpability in this massive national disgrace. For years you have promoted the idea of open borders, lax enforcement of immigration law, and the like, because you see Hispanics as an easy mark for support. You want their votes, so you are just as guilty as Republican big business in looking the other way. Thus, if you turn this into a political issue with which to whip Republicans, take it from me--it AIN'T gonna fly. We are coming after YOU too. And you will pay a heavy price in the next election. And don't start with the hypocritical denunciations of Republicans, when you yourselves have closets so full of dirty laundry that the stench emanates upward to high heaven. I will be more than happy to roll out your record on immigration for all the world to see if you so much as hint that you plan to use this as political fodder.
Republicans on the Hill are finally getting the message, and they are in no mood to continue to play games with the nation's laws and security in order to appease a President whose shady dealings with the Mexican government trump the nation's clearly-stated laws on illegal immigration.
What began as a pesky little court case involving two supposed 'bad cops,' as the Department of Homeland Security described them, has gradually turned into a scandal of gargantuan proportions. This scandal implicates the U.S. Attorney who prosecuted the case, Johnny Sutton, the Judge in the case, Kathleen Cardone, Homeland Security Inspector-General Richard L. Skinner, who lied to Congress about the case, the U.S. Department of Justice, and even the White House itself. The fact that the White House has engaged in consistent stonewalling when questions are asked about the Border Patrol Hoax, plus the President's foot-dragging in the process of pardons for the two innocent Agents, only increases suspicions and outrage.
We can rest assured that Republicans in Congress notice the dubious actions of the White House. And they are snooping, as well they should. Already feeling betrayed by a President whose poor ratings in the polls brought about the loss of Congress, Republicans have very little patience with the President when it comes to a highly emotional issue that most Americans feel has been placed on the back burner--illegal aliens invading our country, aided and abetted by a Republican President and Liberal Democrats who make strange bedfellows but who are co-conspirators in allowing U.S. law to be broken for ulterior motives. The public clearly wants something done to stop it, and Republicans sense the deep sense of outrage out there in the heartland. They have no intention of allowing Mr. Bush to bring them another defeat in 2008. If he does not get the message and issue pardons for the two Agents, then Republicans will gladly seize upon the impeachment process to show the electorate that they clearly DO NOT support a President who is selling the nation's soul to Mexico.
Thus, as much as I loathe quoting a question from Dan Rather, it seems very appropriate here.

What did President Bush know, and when did he know it?
Republican Lawmaker Warns Bush of Impeachment
Washington, DC (TLS). With outrage reaching a fever pitch on Capitol Hill over the government's admission that it lied to convict two Border Patrol Agents, one Republican lawmaker is warning President Bush of impeachment proceedings. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-CA, warned the President in a news conference late Wednesday that if the two incarcerated Agents are murdered or die in prison, the President himself will be held personally responsible.
Republican lawmakers have demanded the full and free Presidential pardon of the two Agents who did the job they were hired to do to protect the nation's borders from illegal aliens. So far, the President has been dragging his feet, and White House spokesman Tony Snow has persistently stonewalled on questions related to the government's mishandling of the case, including fabricating and falsifying evidence, lying to a court of law, lying to Congress, and incarcerating two men the government knew to be innocent of the charges.
Unless the President immediately takes the steps necessary to release the two men from prison and launch a full, relentless investigation of the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice, then I am quite certain Republicans will do the job Democrats have threatened in the past. They will launch impeachment hearings against the President.
All of this, of course, would be unnecessary if the President steps up to the plate, admits that people within the government engaged in willful deception, take steps to prosecute the guilty, and releases the innocent Agents from prison. This would clear the President's name and reputation and avert pending impeachment proceedings launched by members of his own party.
As it stands now, however, the President is implicated in the entire mess due to his close ties to the main players. If the President was unaware of the corruption of his cronies in this case, then he needs to say so and undertake the necessary steps to rid the government of their shameful presence.

LIBERTY ALERT!! BORDER PATROL HOAX EXPLODES INTO WHITE HOUSE!
Washington, DC (TLS). The Liberty Sphere has received explosive information this afternoon concerning the Border Patrol Hoax. As reported earlier today, the government has admitted to a Congressional panel that it lied in order to convict two innocent Border Patrol agents, both of whom are now in prison. Word comes this afternoon, however, that this scandal follows a trail that may lead directly to the White House and the Oval Office itself.
The U.S. Attorney who led the charge against the two Border Patrol agents is none other than Johnny Sutton, a Bush appointee who was also closely involved with the administration of then-Texas Governor Bush when he was the state's chief executive. Another Bush crony, U.S. District Judge Kathleen Cardone, presided in the case and did the sentencing.
My friends, this is explosive new evidence, particularly in light of the fact that we now know that everything the Department of Homeland Security said to convict the two agents was pure fabrication--barefaced lies. We also now know that U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton lied to the court, to the press, and in numerous interviews he granted to talk radio hosts.
We know that the Bush administration has been dragging its feet in the pardon request for the two agents. We know the Department of Homeland security stonewalled, lied, and refused Congressional requests for documents proving their allegations against the agents. We also know that the Bush White House has also engaged in stonewalling when questions arise from the press corp about the two wrongfully-imprisoned agents, one of whom was beaten to within an inch of his life in a federal penitentiary, although he was supposed to be placed in an area apart from the general prison population. None of the government's promises to that effect were fulfilled.
This is beginning to look like a put-up job from start to finish--an outright attempt to frame two innocent cops. Why? We can only conjecture at this point. But we do know that the Bush administration has consistently resisted enforcing U.S. law when it comes to our border with Mexico. Laws concerning illegal aliens have been almost totally ignored. And if the White House was involved in any way with this deliberate framing and incarceration of the two innocent border patrol agents, then felonies have been committed.
Was Bush a willing accomplice to this sordid scheme?
If not, then the ONLY way the Bush White House can cleanse itself of any stain or dreadful political repercussions from this despicable episode is to IMMEDIATELY issue a full, free pardon to the two agents and launch a thorough investigation into the conduct of the Department of Homeland Security, Judge Kathleen Cardone, and U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton.
Heads will need to roll over this one, folks. And if Mr. Bush does not follow through, then Congress certainly will, except then it will be a criminal investigation of the President himself.
This entire fiasco will most definitely blow up in the President's face unless he takes decisive action NOW to rid the government of corruption and set those two innocent men free.
