Ramos and Compean Update
Bush Pressured Prosecutor to Railroad Border Patrol Agents

By Charles Coughlin

Most Americans have probably never heard of Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean. We know that the federal government doesn’t give the Border Patrol what it needs. We know that the Feds failed to build the Border Fence, which Americans demanded and Congress approved before the 2006 election. We know that millions of illegals are allowed to run loose in our society with no real threat of deportation. But most of us didn’t know just how vicious our own government could be toward Border Patrol agents, who tried to enforce the law.

An article about the Ramos and Compean case notes “BE A BORDER Patrol agent: Do your job, go to prison. That’s how the job must look to agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean. In February 2005, the agents tried to stop a van driven by drug smuggler Osvaldo Aldrete-Davila near the Mexico border. After a scuffle with Compean, Aldrete-Davila fled on foot. Ramos says he saw a gun — which the smuggler denies. Both agents fired at Aldrete-Davila, who fell, but continued his escape across the border. After he got away, Ramos and Compean filed a report on the 743 pounds of marijuana they found in the van, but not on the gunfire. As it turns out, Ramos had shot Aldrete-Davila in the butt. A Homeland Security agent heard about the episode, went to Mexico and offered Aldrete-Davila immunity, if he testified against Ramos and Compean. U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton, a Bush appointee, prosecuted the agents…”

Lou Dobbs just recently had Congressman Dana Rohrbacher on his show. Rohrbacher was 100 percent up to speed on the Ramos and Compean case and wants an investigation of the shameful, dishonest prosecution of these men by the Bush regime. There will be investigations by both the House and Senate very soon regarding the Ramos and Compean case which has finally made it to the national spotlight.

The only thing Ramos and Compean didn’t do was fill out the mountain of paperwork required for firing their weapons in self-defense. It’s a safe bet that it’s no accident that the paperwork is a nightmare. The rules have been set up by the Feds to completely hamstring Border Patrol agents and to severely punish them if they get in a shoot out with criminal elements crossing the border. Perhaps, the Feds want Border Patrol agents to run away when confronted with armed drug smugglers, criminals and even terrorists who are crossing the Mexican Border.

Congressman Rohrbacher noted that the drug smuggler, Davila, was hit from the FRONT, not the back (even though it has been often said Davila was wounded in the butt).

Bush appointee attorney Johnny Sutton railroaded these agents into ten year prison sentences. Sutton covered up evidence that Davila was a drug smuggler, who used a free pass which he got from Sutton to get back into the US, to smuggle an additional load of drugs into the country.

Johnny Sutton should be put on trial for prosecutorial misconduct AND Sutton should be tried for aiding a criminal to smuggle a large quantity of drugs across the US border. Johnny Sutton is GUILTY of committing serious felony crimes against the US while Ramos and Compean didn’t want to fill out paperwork.

Congressman Rohrbacher wants to know what role pressure from Mexico had on Sutton’s prosecution of these two agents. (Frankly the despicable George W. Bush probably pressured Sutton to railroad those two agents.)

There has been a renewed interest in the Ramos and Compean case especially after Bush gave a pardon to Scooter Libby. Numerous patriots have pointed out that Ramos and Compean were wrongly convicted and deserve a pardon, much more than Scooter Libby, who was convicted of four felonies as he obstructed justice in the investigation of the outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame.

We need to get Ramos and Compean out of prison and Johnny Sutton in.
