Lawmakers grill Obama over Border agent trial ..Members of Congress say prosecution of Diaz 'sets a dangerous precedent' ..

The members of Congress want to know Obama's responses to several issues in the case, including:

• "Agent Diaz was cleared of all wrongdoing in this matter by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Office of the Inspector General and the U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement's Office of Professional Wrongdoing. It was only a contradictory report from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection that provided the basis for the U.S. attorney's office's case."
  "The prosecution of Agent Diaz was initiated at the request of the Mexican government."
• "Despite being described by the U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement's Office of Professional Wrongdoing as a witness whose 'credibility is questionable at best,' the smuggler in question was given full immunity and a visa to testify against Agent Diaz."
• "Testimony from the suspected group of smugglers, including the one in question, changed considerably from what was initially given the night of the arrest to what was attested to in court."
• The U.S. attorney's office in the Western District of Texas, responsible for prosecuting this case, was the same office, under U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton, that aggressively prosecuted the cases against Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean. Both of these agents were given 10-year prison sentences that were later commuted by President George W. Bush after two years."
