 Meanwhile,
it's not just businesses that are selling us out, it's also
our own government. Later this week, I'm going to tell you
the story of a former U.S. border agent who was convicted of
using excessive force against an illegal alien, only to
later be acquitted at a retrial after evidence surface that
the prosecutors gave the alien a social security card,
witness fees, travel expenses, and border crossing permits
in exchange for his testimony.
If that case sounds eerily familiar it's because of the
continuing saga of two other border agents who are now
serving 11 and 12 year prison terms for allegedly covering
up the shooting of an illegal alien Mexican drug smuggler.
You and I both know that story has never smelled right and
today we learn even more evidence that these two guys were
railroaded by their own government. The Real Story is that a
key Department of Homeland Security memo, a memo that casts
serious doubt on the entire case, was apparently never given
to defense attorneys.
Now let me tell you why that's so important. All along, the
government has based its entire prosecution on the supposed
cover-up; that the agents destroyed evidence and failed to
report the shooting to their supervisors. But here's the
problem...the DHS memo -- the one that was withheld from the
attorneys -- says that nine OTHER agents, including two
supervisors were, "at the location of the shooting incident,
assisted in destroying evidence of the shooting, and/or knew
or heard about the shooting."
Wait; that doesn't add up. If supervisors were THERE and
KNEW about it, how could there be a cover-up?? Exactly. And
if you add in the fact that three of those agents cited in
the memo were then given immunity in exchange for their
testimony and things really start to look like a set-up.
If you're still sitting there thinking that none of this
really matters anyway, then consider this. After the trial,
jurors told the defense they didn't believe the drug
smuggler's story at all; they said the only reason they
convicted the agents was because they didn't report the
shooting to their supervisors. If that's true -- and I hate
to use a bad pun, but this DHS memo is literally smoking gun
evidence and these guys deserve a new trial.
I am not stupid; the American people are not stupid -- we
see exactly what's going on. Yesterday it was Dog The Bounty
Hunter and today it's the border agents but the lies and
cover ups and sweetheart deals can't be hidden anymore
because we demand answers; we demand and deserve the truth.
