Dear Chairman Editor Hercubus Worldpress.com:

I would like to point out the similarities between the prosecution and imprisonment of the US Border Patrol Agents Jose Compean, Ignacio Ramos and that of an El Paso doctor, There is a definite pattern of illegal, unethical and deceptive practices in these two cases.

Much can be learned about this controversy by looking at a recent case, in which U.S. Assistant Attorney (AUSA), Debra Kanof prosecuted in El Paso. A complete posting of all of this revealing case has been published on the internet under the site name http://www.doctorbfiles.com. This site has an exhaustively complete filing of the entire case which AUSA Kanof brought against this prominent El Paso doctor. What is so disturbing about this particular case is that this doctor has been able to prove, through the use of extensive case documents, that AUSA Kanof, alone and in conjunction with other federal agents including the District Court Judge David Briones, repeatedly lied to the grand jury and to the petit jury, encouraged prosecution witnesses to lie to the court with their testimonies, and generally sought to undermine the integrity and fundamental fairness of the criminal proceedings. You have to read the allegations and the evidence that supports them to believe the extent to which AUSA Kanof attempted to bend the proceedings to her personal will, justice be damned. This all can be appreciated at this website, at the following locations:
Section V, exhibit i. under subsection of the
Lies of AUSA Debra Kanof.
exhibits j. and k. which are the
affidavits and other proofs that support
allegations in exhibit i.
Sections V. exhibit k., k., k., k., k., k., which is
a copy of the El Paso Times news article of
October 11, 2006.
Updates 23, 38 and 40, will give you a general flavor of
what has, and is transpiring in this ongoing saga, as this
case is still on appeal, at the 5th Circuit of Appeals,
Case # 06-51349.

There are facts that show conspiracy and corruption in the Federal Judicial / Justice system in El Paso that is more than just a coincidence:
1 (a). El Paso Times runs an article that an inmate’s papers went missing when he mailed them to Judge Briones. Go to Dr Bieganowski’s Website, Click on: Table of Contents, then click on: Page 5 Section 5, then click 5y “(7-03-06) Article from the El Paso Times”.
1 (b). Dr Bieganowski’s motion went missing when he mailed it to Judge Briones. There is proof that the US Attorney’s Office intercepted this & prevented the filing.

2 (a). Kanof lies and withholds exculpatory evidence in the Border Patrol case.
2 (b). USDA Kanof also withholds exculpatory evidence needed in Dr Bieganowski’s trial. All of the proof can be seen in the brief in support of 2255 motion on the website.

3 (a). There was evidence of FBI lies and abuse in Dr Bieganowski’s case and the questionable suicide of one of the FBI Agents just as Dr Bieganowski’s trial was starting.
3 (b). Now the Head of the FBI in El Paso has been sent to prison for criminal activity.

See U.S.A. Today, on 3-7-07, report which shows criminal activity in El Paso FBI Office. This plus the problems in the US Attorney’s Office, shows a pattern of corruption in the Federal Judicial / Justice System in El Paso. “TEXAS: El Paso — The former head of the FBI”s El Paso bureau has reported to prison, Hardrick Crawford was convicted last year of lying to investigators about his relationship with Mexican race track owner Jose Maria Guardia, and making false statements on financial disclosure reports about gifts from Guardia. Crawford must serve six months in prison. . . .” This as well as Dr Bieganowski’s evidence shows a Judicial system that needs to be fixed and justice for all, but especially for those who have been victimized by a broken system.

Some think that US Attorney Johnny Sutton was the one who prosecuted the Border Patrol case. This is not the truth—it was USDA Kanof. Sutton is out front, because he is the supervisor. He is shielding Kanof. I suppose because he is afraid of her reputation and Dr Bieganowski’s website and the potential devastating effect of what she is and has done will add to this.

There is a peculiar situation with Ms. Mary Stillinger. This is the attorney for Border Patrol Agent Ramos. She was also part of Dr Bieganowski’s trial and knows the whole sordid AUSA Kanof story. The question that begs to be asked is: Why is she trying to protect Kanof? Is she afraid of something? There is something strange here that needs to come to the attention of more people.

Please take a look at how AUSA Kanof is running rough shod over our fellow citizens (Ramos, Compean and Dr Bieganowski) in US District Court, and perpetrating miscarriages of justice. If AUSA Kanof and the District Judge are lying and manipulating the court, what else will they try to do? Could this happen to us? I think that if any part of the trial is illegal then both cases should be retried without delay. I, also, believe that the personal freedoms of each one of us are at stake. Go to to Dr Bieganowski’s web site at http://www.doctorbfiles.com, it will show how this gang does their dirty work.

Sincerely,
Ray Tillman,

PS: Dr. Bieganowski is willing to be interviewed by any news reporter or journalist to tell about these lies, tactics and unethical actions of our US Justice System.

Address: A. Bieganowski #90310-080, FCI Fort Worth, P.O. Box 15330, Fort Worth, Tx 76119

I am extremely disappointed in Snow’s lack of credibility, integrity, and lack of balls by his support of the prosecution of Ramos and Compean.

I don’t think I could listen to Snow again once he returns to private life as a radio commentator.

GREAT BLOG!

Unfortunately, while living in Los Angeles, I’ve seen drugs destroy people, families, and neighborhoods, so while the war on drugs has been a failure, I do not think it should be given unfought.

So while I do encourage dissenting viewpoints on my blog, I also recognize when people simply won’t meet on a particular issue. I would encourage you to start your own blog and discuss your thoughts there. We’ll obviously never meet eye to eye on this particular event.

Why should we take the agents’ word for it after they attempted a cover-up? The fact that they attempted a cover-up makes it very clear in my eyes that these guys knew they had committed a serious crime while trying to apprehend a criminal. The truth is the Border Patrol Agents are the obviously far less credible party in this whole fiasco.

I’m with you on Bush by the way.

As for the pot, I’m not sure I could care less. Cannabis is the 1# cash crop of the United States and The War on Drugs is a joke.

Davila probably isn’t a great guy and Sutton’s a lawyer and I’m sure you’ve heard all those jokes but that is immaterial. The fact is these trained agents performed their duties beyond poorly.

Your statement is an almost identical quote of Sutton’s interview last week on a San Diego radio station. Of course, the concept that ‘absolutely nothing indicated that he [Davila] was armed’ is what the prosecution wanted everyone to believe as part of their case, but you simply cannot tell the border agent that the alien did not have a gun if he, the agent, felt otherwise. Period.

I do not discount the fact that the agents acted improperly by collecting shells and filing false paperwork, but any ammount of jail time for a paperwork violation is preposterous. At the most, these men should simply have lost their jobs for their dishonesty (sort of like what should have happend to President Bush for lying to the American people in order to get us into Iraq–unfortunately, Bush is still our President.) The fact of the matter remains that Davila did not ship that particular van-load of drugs because of the efforts of Ramos and Compean. Thank god for their dilligence.

Davila is an illegal alien drug-smuggler who, after this initial incident, was caught once more smuggling copious ammounts of drugs into the U.S. while the American government was treating him as an honored guest in order to destroy the lives of Ramos and Compean.

Sutton is a poor example of a human being. The simple fact the he compared the border agents to Stanley Tookie Willams speaks volumes about who he is as a person and completely tosses out the window any idea of credibility and integrity this man might have once had.

In this case, the bad guys won.
