A Federal judge just ruled our wonderful Sheriff Joe Arapaio guilty of criminal contempt of court--for simply enforcing existing federal immigration laws.

“Where is the SENIOR SENATOR for Arizona whilst this good and decent man finds himself in trouble ?”

Over in the corner trying to figure out the next FU to launch against the President. Or he’s playing with himself or with Linda Graham.

“Judge Snow whose wife said the judge “wanted to do everything to make sure Arpaio was not elected””

Snow is another MORMON!

I hope Trump will come through for us. Arpaio didn’t deserve this.

I still don’t understand how Arpaio was denied a jury trial. Is that not grounds for apoeal?

Contempt of court is not tried by a jury unless the potential penalty exceeds 6 months. This has been the law for at least 150 years.

He was convicted long ago. This all began in 2008.

This latest thing comes from the fact that he ignored the judge's order.

Arpaio is the last of the 3:

County Attorney Andrew Thomas was convicted and lost his law license.

State legislator Russell Pierce was recalled from office and defeated in his attempt to get elected in another district. He was eventually forced from the political job he had in the GOP.

Of course he was found guilty! Laws are for conservatives-even nebulous laws. If you are a leftist lib you can do anything you want with no fear of legal repercussions.

Pardon does nothing but for the one pardoned. The swamp is still full to abuse as many others as it may.

Now, should he actually BEGIN what he said, AND pardon...Still, the start has been delayed 6mo+ and counting.

‘Pardon does nothing but for the one pardoned.’

Good enough for now.

AZ law doesn’t matter, it was a Federal case.

That was a fore drawn conclusion from the beginning. It was a kangaroo court from the beginning. Those who believe that we are a Nation of laws are only deluding themselves. In the meantime, Hillary Clinton and her cohorts are flying high and wide, free as a bird and spreading destruction and mayhem where ever they go. And no one in a position of authority gives a damn.

He evidently gave it up at some point. A lot to get into, but reading his Wiki bio indicated to me that perhaps Arpaio was his own worst enemy.

“Trump doesn’t dare try to pardon him. It will tick off all the McCain voters.”

Pardon him and hope he is still around to run against McCain.

My brother in law lives in Phoenix. He’s a conservative and he hates Joe. I honestly didn’t know such people existed. Apparently there are quite a few of them. THey think Joe has gone way off the reservation...

MRS. Arpaio sent out requests for money to defend Joe—saying his defense will cost millions. He's in his 80s.

I sent $30.
