"Something Wrong All the Way to the White House"
Lou Dobbs Tonight -- CNN -- December 3
 |
| From
our
feature of Feb. 21, 2007 : Poe: The more that comes
out about this case, the more it seems that the prosecution was
relentless in making sure these border agents were convicted. |
Dobbs: Let me ask
you first Congressman Poe, if based on what you heard from the
questions by these appellate judges if you are encouraged?
Rep Poe: Very encouraging. Especially the judges went
straight to the issue. The U.S. attorney's office tried to make
this drug dealer, this informant a choir boy. He's not a choir
boy. He's a smuggler. And the judges thought that the jury should
have heard about that. And that jury should have known all along
that this drug smuggler was habitually bringing drugs into the
country and used that to judge his credibility as a witness.
So that was very encouraging comments by the judges in this case.
Dobbs: And Congressman Jones, I mean you don't have to
be a lawyer to know that this is just outright unfair and the
fact that the U.S. attorney's office, the deputy U.S. attorney
prosecuting this case knew darn well what was going on and still
hid the reality from the jury.
Rep. Jones: Well Lou, you're exactly right. I want to
thank you and your staff for being on this over a year now and
just very quickly when Judge Grady said and I quote, it does
seem to me that the government overreacted here. For some reason
this one got out of hand it seems to me and Lou, that's why I'm
going to do everything I can, working with Ted Poe and many others
to make sure that we go to John Conyers, the chairman of the
judiciary committee, and say that we need to see why in the world
this ever got into a courtroom.there's something wrong all the
way to the White House.
