Call me cyncial, but I think if Arpaio found anything new; he made it disappear in exchange for getting the DOJ off his back.

Okay. You're cynical. ;)

If the history of Sheriff Arpaio's actions are any guide, he doesn't seem like the kind of dude who would kowtow to anyone to "get 'em off his back".

We'll know not soon enough.

I will grant you that men of honor are a rare commodity today; but they are not extinct. I think we have the rare exception in Sheriff Joe. I pray that is the case.

Arpaio isn’t in charge of what the posse finds. He can try to pressure the members of the posse - as can Soros - so whether they come out with everything they know is an open question, but I strongly doubt that getting the DOJ off Arpaio’s back would be enough to silence the posse members.

Whether they have found anything “new” depends on how abreast you are on the research that’s been ongoing, either published or not. And it depends on what resources they have access to. The posse doesn’t have subpoena power so they don’t have access to the records at the government offices at this point, but by simply verifying the authenticity of the discrepancies claimed thus far they can give compelling reasons for a criminal investigation to be launched, and at that point subpoenas, depositions, polygraph tests, search warrants, etc would be in order - either by Arizona law enforcement or by any state’s law enforcement that takes the Constitution seriously. Ultimately, that is the only way we’ll ever know what, if any, of what we’ve been told is accurate.
