Washington (CNN)The White House has prepared the paperwork for President Trump to pardon former sheriff Joe Arpaio when he makes the final decision to do so, CNN has learned. An administration official said the White House has also prepared talking points to send to surrogates after he is pardoned. One of the talking points is that Arpaio served his country for 50 years in the military, the Drug Enforcement Administration and as Arizona's Maricopa County sheriff, and that it is not appropriate to send him to prison for "enforcing the law" and "working to keep people safe."

denying a constitutionally guaranteed trial by jury.


That’s why it was a misdemeanor charge instead of a felony charge. That way he didn’t get his right to a jury.

Sheriff Joe is not in jeopardy of going to jail is he? Had not heard that one. I would assume with his law enforcement record, no judge would go there....or would they?

As far as I can tell was he not prosecuted for doing his job?

Since CNN lies all the time, I need to get a grain of salt for this report.

Good deal. The President said he would not do it at the Arizona rally because of controversy but that he would do it. Great big win

I heard the crowd at the rally was unhappy when it was clear the pardon was not being announced immediately.

Ping to “CNN has learned” (leak says) that Trump’s pardon of Arpaio is drafted and the talking points are drafted, too!

Thanks for the ping. Kamala Harris tweeted that Trump shouldn’t pardon Arpaio because he’d been convicted of a crime.

Some guy tweeted back, ‘It gets worse. Everybody Obama pardoned had been convicted of a crime. The same for Bush’s pardons...and Clinton’s.’

CNN and the rest of the MSM just can’t wait for Trump to pardon Arpaio! They can’t wait to declare that this is further “proof” that Trump is a “birther” and “racist,” etc.

All the networks say snotty things about Trump all day every day. He doesn't care. He will enjoy pleasing his base, however--and we WILL be pleased.

Arpaio, I think, wants a pardon. The guy is 85 and probably does want to take a chance he might die going through and appeals process.

Someone is still “leaking” I see.

I have met Sheriff Joe personally, work-related charity community events. He is a good Catholic family man, has truly given his life to REAL public service. His job as sheriff was 24/7 all year long, he and his wife gave up their lives to serve the public. In his “spare” time, he did a lot of work raising money for and finding homes for abused animals.

Sheriff Joe was not doing “immigration sweeps,” he did crime sweeps which happened to involve lots of criminal illegal aliens. He was enforcing immigration laws that Obama and his corrupt administration were breaking. Some hack Rat-tard judge charged him with contempt of court and did not allow him to have a jury trial. She knew if he had a jury trial, he would be acquitted.

The prosecution of Sheriff Joe was a 100% corrupt political witch hunt by the Obama administration.

LoL.

Remembering those Marooons over at FogBlow land and Dr. CON sure are lonely these days as hardly anyone pays any attention to them.

http://www.doctorconspiracy.com/

I see a total of 3 comments on his page, and one of the 3 is CON’s. The other two comments come from “Reality (Delusional guy) Check.”

Funny about that! I suspect this is an approved leak, though, to reassure “the base” and Arpaio that things are actually in the works.

Now THAT is really sad! Pathetic, actually. They all know that Barry is a fraud and they have just been fighting a rear guard action to protect him all of these years. They are smart enough to read his criminally evasive behavior just like we have done at every turn, as quite a few of them are defense attorneys!
