Looks like title of story was to broad.

See updated Reuters story saying that the criminal charges of financial impropriety have been dropped, but the recent investigation of alleged civil rights abuses are continuing.

Thanks Free ThinkerNY.

Congratulations Sheriff Joe. Holder’s thugs must have calculated continuing this partisan witch hunt was hurting more than helping the Marxists.

That is fantastic. God Bless Sheriff Joe.

Trump was the prop of the empty chair....I didn’t recognize him at first either.

Couldn’t find anything, huh?

Of course they couldn't find anything. They weren't supposed to.

this was nothing more than harrassment from the start. It sounded good in the MSM.

That's it. They tried to give him a black eye by inference.

Our govt is full of thuggery.

What a waste of this good man’s energy..time..

Now, if they drop the DOJ poll “watching” I’ll go to bed a real happy woman..

They need all the post-presidential benefits stripped and be forced to live with George in that straw hut.

One DOJ investigation that may not have turned up empty would be one of Trump.

Looks like the DoJ knew discovery demands would expose a lot of corruption in the department.

Who is going to pay the good sheriff’s legal fees???

"Obama, you're FIRED!"

Clint stole The Donald's line and put it to good use.

That might very well be the reason. Hope no deal was made.

Hey, where are all you Freepers who think the cops are all blue stormtroopers? Why aren’t your knees jerking in calumny of Sheriff Joe? Or are the Maricopa County Sheriff deputies the only cops you don’t hate?

Joe Arpaio, America’s Sheriff.

We have your six, Joe!

[glock rocks]

They’ll be around, by and by. There ain’t a FReekin thing our first line can do right. Yet, they go back on duty every day, sustaining that thin veil of civility.
