I had read about this case some time ago but didn't think about it very much until a few weeks ago when the President commuted his bud, Scooter's prison sentence.
For the record, I thought the Judge was a little heavy handed on Scooter. Hell, this is politics where the usual thing is to lie, steal, and cheat. The Judge couldn't take a joke.
The Prez should have commuted his sentence. Afterall, there's probably much more that we don't know. Why not commute Scooter's sentence? The advantage of being a wildly unpopular President is that you can't get much lower. Why not protect yourself or your buds.
However, The Prez not pardoning
the two Border Patrol agents who were sentenced to 11 and 12 years respectively for shooting at and wounding a fleeing suspect who was smuggling 743 pounds of marijuana over the border is unbelievable. Their sin mainly was covering it up, but to do so made sense to me as this drug smuggler was not severely hurt or killed. Who would not have made the same decision? But, the justice system for these two went South.
The prosecutor and Judge seem to have had their brains bottled in formaldehyde as they really are at fault. We common people think that the issue in courts is justice. Well, I don't think we had justice here.
It would be interesting to hear the judges explanation in the Border Patrol agents case.
Any farmer from North Carolina "with one eye and half sense" would know this is stupid. A criminal suddenly is the good guy and these guys are rotting in jail.
At least people are taking notice. I doubt the Prez will. Diane Feinstein after reading the transcripts came out of the ether and fired off a letter to the President. Under any sort of hearing, this whole thing is idiocy.
Two Border Patrol agents trying to do their jobs are in jail and a dope dealer is suing the government and get this, while he had immunity from the prosecutor, he smuggles into the States another 753 pounds of pot. Got to love it. But, the agents don't love it as they are in prison with the very people they put there.
What is amazing to me is that common sense seems to be no where in sight. Also, with the attention of those like Diane Feinstein and even John Cornyn, a Republican from Texas plus Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions, still these two guys are in jail. When there's no response from the White House, what do these concerned Congressman do?
If the "agents" were named Scooter or some such name, maybe they could get attention? KT
