A little bit about Johnny Sutton, the Bush lackey behind the prosecution of former Border Patrol Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean. Sutton is the US Attorney for Western Texas, and is described by El Presidente as a "dear friend". When Bush was Texas governor, Sutton spent five years as his director of criminal justice policy. After Bush became President, Sutton became legal policy coordinator in the White House transition team, working with another Bush Texas colleague, Alberto Gonzalez, the current US Attorney General.
In 2006, Sutton was appointed chairman of the Attorney General's advisory committee which, says the official Department of Justice website, '"plays a significant role in determining policies and programs of the department and in carrying out the national goals set by the President and the Attorney General". Sutton has so far been extremely successful in carrying out Bush's goal of intimidating law enforcement and leaving our border unprotected.
Upon Sutton's appointment, Attorney General Gonzales said, "Together, we will work to combat terrorism, reduce violent crime and drug trafficking...and protect the civil rights of all Americans". Like his boss, Gonzales is a well practiced liar and spoke these words with a straight face.
