Judge is pursuing contempt after finding sheriff’s office discriminated against Hispanics

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has petitioned to have the federal judge who’s investigating him kicked off the case, telling an appeals court that Judge G. Murray Snow’s wife admitted to friends that her husband was intent on destroying the Arizona lawman.

Judge Snow has been battling Sheriff Arpaio for years, and in 2013 ruled that the Maricopa County department discriminated against Hispanics by targeting them for immigration enforcement. Earlier this year the judge began contempt proceedings, accusing the sheriff of intentionally ignoring his orders — but Sheriff Arpaio says the judge has created a conflict of interest through his own unusually aggressive courtroom tactics and his wife’s own admissions.

Judge Snow’s wife told a lifelong acquaintance in 2013 that her husband was out to get Sheriff Arpaio, according to documents filed last week with the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The judge then became irked when he learned Sheriff Arpaio had looked into his wife’s remarks, and pointedly questioned the sheriff about it in an unrelated open court session, the new filing claims.

Obama has been out to destroy Joe since the day he took office. This is very well documented.

Just another unjust judge and I bet he is a liberal leftist communist of the Lois Lerner type. The country is being overun by snakes in the government and evil greedy leftists of the worst sort.

[jazusamo]

Sounds to me like that’s exactly what he is.

Joe should have taken on this liberal Mormon judge a LONG time ago and forced his recusal. FAR too late now. He did his missionary work in Mexico, speaks fluent Spanish and has far too many ties to that community to be objective

[montag813]

Just imagine what President Trump would do to this case. Can you say C4?

"Obama has been out to destroy Joe since the day he took office. This is very well documented."

[jazusamo]

Agreed, I seriously doubt he’d put up with this kinda crud.
