Who would be stupid enough to not wonder why Arpaio is afraid to use public funds for this venture?
Well, not you, obviously, because “Ooh, you speak French!”
Explain to me how he could use public funds to investigate this as an elected official and how that would be appropriate for one situation and possibly inappropriate in another.
Or do you just make the assertion that he can spend taxpayer money on anything he pleases? You sound like you must know the mechanism of how that would work with someone in his position who is elected, not hired.
