He flouted the Constitution. He disobeyed court orders. And then he bragged about it.

To understand the building outrage, particularly among civil rights groups, over the possibility that President Donald Trump would pardon former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, one need only return to the July criminal contempt decision against him.

It followed a decade-long case against the sheriff for racial-profiling practices in Arizona, during which Arpaio was ordered to stop targeting Latinos for traffic stops and detention.

"Not only did (Arpaio) abdicate responsibility, he announced to the world and to his subordinates that he was going to continue business as usual no matter who said otherwise," wrote US District Judge Susan Bolton in the July 31 order finding Arpaio guilty of criminal contempt.

I'm betting Arizona is one of the states whose quality of life and economy suffers most due to illegals so I can understand his frustration. But he'll undoubtedly get what he deserves...

What does this have to do with the POTUS? If you're going to blame a president, blame Obama. It was under his reign that he flourished. Let's keep it real.
 
I see an opening for Federal prosecution of elected officials who openly violate immigration laws by aiding and harboring known felons in their cities and states.

The fallout of the Arpaio case could cover those officials if a proper angle could be determined.

Rumor has it The Don will pardon him.

It certainly does in the region near the border. I have in-laws living on several acres in the Dragoon hills southeast of Tucson, near Tombstone. The last time we visited, I literally saw shadows running through his dirt patch all night long. His dogs were going nuts. So, yeah. I can see where anyone who lives that nightmare would be all, "Build that damned wall already!"

I don't think most in the US are remotely surprised, or concerned for that matter; Presidential pardons have a long and colorful history of being used to reward allies, perceived allies, or those a bit too close to the Executive branch heads.
Both sides of the political aisle are guilty of it.

I cant even pretend to be outraged.

Good, so we can all universally agree ... that when Donny give another Law and Order Speech, that it's Bull ****.

I can agree with that.
 
You may want to check first before inserting foot.

so where is your faux outrage at for all the obama pardons?
i mean at least try to be consistent. i know you can't but at least try.

Breaking: Obama has nothing to do with the topic.

We now return you to your regularly programmed false equivalency nonsense.

This Thread is about The Joe Arpaio ... I know you would like to dilute and derail the thread with BS, but either you have a view about the Joe Arpaio pardon or not.

I think even a 5 year old could focus more.

BTW ... he's not in Jail
 
13-year-old rape victim ignored

Arpaio in 2011
In a controversial case, Arpaio's office was accused of ignoring Sabrina Morrison, a teenage girl suffering from a mental disability. On March 7, 2007, the 13-year-old was raped by her uncle, Patrick Morrison. She told her teacher the next day, and her teacher called the MCSO. A rape kit was taken, but the detective assigned to the case told Sabrina and her family that there were no obvious signs of sexual assault, no semen, or signs of trauma.

As a result of the detective's statements, Sabrina was branded by her family as a liar. Her uncle continued to rape her repeatedly, saying he would kill her if she told anyone. She became pregnant by him, and had an abortion. The family did not know that the rape kit had been tested at the state lab, and showed the presence of semen. The lab requested that the detective obtain a blood sample from the suspect, Patrick Morrison. Instead of obtaining the blood sample, or making an arrest, the detective filed the crime-lab note and closed the case for four years.

It was not until September 2011 that the Sheriff's Office finally obtained a blood sample from Patrick Morrison, which was a DNA match with the semen taken over four years earlier. It wasn't until February 29, 2012, that Patrick Morrison was arrested and charged with one count of sexual conduct with a minor, at which point the MCSO closed the case. Only later was Sabrina's uncle charged with additional indictments based on information obtained from Sabrina by a victim's advocate, after the MCSO had closed the case. Patrick Morrison ultimately pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to 24 years in prison.

In December 2011, responding to continuing media coverage of the controversy, and apparently unaware that there were hundreds of victims in these cases, Arpaio stated, in a press conference, "If there were any victims, I apologize to those victims."

In August 2012, Sabrina Morrison filed a $30-million notice of claim (a precursor to a lawsuit) against Joe Arpaio and Maricopa County for gross negligence, a claim which was eventually settled for $3.5 million.

Another one of those "Good People"; maybe he could Babysit one of your little ones ...

You and I may agree on that; but universally? No....I wont speak for anyone else.

I really don't have much trust in either party NOT to bull****, split hairs, parse their words, or just play word games.

I don't give a rats backside what the definition of "is" "is".....my BS meter pegs into the red pretty quickly....I dont care what political party people want to get down on their knees for.

BTW ... I believe in the Justice System handling these matter correctly through investigations ... but we have Jeff and we all know what a Good Old Boy his is, that's why "Investigations" are taboo.

My prior comments on The Obama investigation where simple, why should a someone with a Weed Possession charge than someone with a Cocain Possession charge?

... and furthermore ... the people who were pardoned ACTUALLY SERVED TIME!

Chew on that ...
