A Contrast of Justice: Sheriff Joe won’t get the Hillary Treatment
American Thinker ^ | October 12, 2016 | James Longstreet

Posted on 10/12/2016 5:08:08 AM PDT by detective

The Department of Justice is taking Sheriff Joe Arpaio to court.  He will be asked to provide computers and hard drives.  He will be accused of breaking the law for attempting to enforce a law, a federal law.

He is going to court because he was instructed by authorities to not enforce or attempt to enforce federal law.  From azcentral.com:

“Federal prosecutors said Tuesday they will pursue a criminal-contempt charge against Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio for defying orders to halt the immigration-enforcement operations ….” “Arpaio’s charge stems from a December 2011 federal-court order that barred his agency from enforcing federal immigration law.

The DOJ is totally corrupt. They have illegally colluded with Clinton and allowed her to break the law with impunity.

At the same time, the DOJ is prosecuting Sheriff Joe Arpaio for attempting to honestly enforce existing laws.

The DO”J” is corrupt and every single American knows
it although only criminals and Clintons and Comeys
are profiting by it.

Two words for all decent people of Arizona (particularly those living in the area where his trial will take place):

JURY NULLIFICATION

Paul Ryan, who seems to want to run the GOP, would treat Sheriff Joe the same if he were POTUS.

How does an agent of a state “enforce Federal law”?

If Arpaio keeps on presenting suspected immigration violators to an Uncle Sam that is refusing to do something with them, maybe Arpaio really should stop, and instead get involved in the more productive forum of direct politics. He has better things to do with his time than to feed a door that Uncle Sam himself is keeping in revolving motion. The thing to do here is to get rid of the malfeasant door keepers.

I am surprised he hasn’t been jailed before this. Bo, with the al Sharpton clone as AG, will put Joe to rest, the old media will help, and resistance without arms is futile. The evil empire is winning and no one is going to halt the destruction of our sovereignty and the eradication of US citizenship.

I know that there is a Supreme Court decision that says state and local authorities cannot be required to enforce federal law but I didn’t know that they also could be required to ignore it.

Apparently he wasn’t “just following orders” and upheld his oath to enforce the laws of the land.

Good luck getting a jury to nail him.

Our country is dead. Ruled now by dictators who pretend to be elected, and for whom the law has no meaning and holds no fear.

The DOJ picks October 12th (the real Columbus Day) to announce they are going after an Italian American for trying to enforce the laws that Obama refuses to enforce.

It doesn’t matter if they can make it stick. They are attempting to influence his election.
