PHOENIX (Reuters) - The federal government has closed a criminal probe of alleged financial misconduct by Arizona lawman Joe Arpaio, who styles himself as "America's toughest sheriff," saying no charges would be filed, the U.S. Attorney's Office said on Friday.

A separate federal investigation relating to allegations of civil rights abuses by Arpaio's office is continuing.

The announcement on Friday marked the end of an investigation that began in November 2010 at the behest of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors to examine alleged financial improprieties by the county sheriff and his deputies.

A federal criminal inquiry into several of those matters was concluded last summer with the U.S. Attorney's Office in Arizona declining to initiate criminal charges.

Yep, and the Fed should reimburse the good sheriff for his legal expenses for the false allegations.

They tried to scare that O’Keefe kid - and now they’re threatening that Navy Seal.

It’s what they do

When will the financial abuses of the Obama administration be investigated? Trillions of our taxpayer dollars are missing. Who has it?

Yup. Until the very last day POSUS Odumbo and his yeti wife get kicked out, they’ll keep doing it.

I wholeheartedly agree and second the motion to throw that RAT commie pig bastard 0dumb0 out of the WH, and preferably throw he and Eric Holder straight into the federal pen for fraud. misuse & abuse of power, obstruction of justice, and financial misconduct involving millions (or perhaps billions) of taxpayer money that went to fund 0dumb0's & his phat ass mabelle mischelle's extravaganzas & decadent vacations.
