The President could have just had the prosecutor go to the judge and say. please. let these guys stay out at least until their appeal. No. no. It was the opposite. They insisted on the maximum. They wanted their pound of flesh. The maximum penalty. the maximum message to other Border Patrol agents: Dont you dare ever to even think about firing your weapon at the border. Instead. the President. after we appealed to try to get him to look at this. the President dug in his heels. sent Tony Snow out to chastise us. you know. We were trying to save Ramos and Compean. and then we were told by Tony Snow to take a closer look at the facts.
