    I wish people would get their facts right at least when they comment..

    Investigations of Arpaio have been going on since 2008 before Obama people..

    http://www.azcentral.com/news...


    The federal investigation dates to 2008 and seeks to determine whether the Sheriff's Office discriminates on the basis of national origin. Arpaio denies any discrimination and said he was surprised by the lawsuit. He has 21 days to respond.
    The civil-rights probe is unrelated to a separate abuse-of-power criminal investigation against the Sheriff's Office by the Justice Department, which is connected to long-running disputes with county government and the judiciary and has led to months of grand-jury testimony..
    But, according to the lawsuit, officials in the Justice Department's civil-rights unit first started looking at allegations of civil-rights violations by the Sheriff's Office in June 2008, during the George W. Bush era. The probe was not revealed publicly until March 2009.

    His 15 minutes are over.... Let him go back to being the insignificant loon that he's always been. Where he can quietly mumble about the birther nonsense to himself, and quit bothering the sane with his crackpot conspiracy theories. Hell, maybe he can round up his cold case posse & search for bigfoot.

    One investigation down. One to go. The second investigation will go away in a second if the Sheriff left office or announced he will not seek re election. The investigations are all about intimidation, Obama bullying and creating fear in the heart of anyone that challenges or disagrees this administration.

    One could say the same of the denial republicans have to go through to be able to sleep at night, knowing who they're supporting. They rather focus it all as hate on the other party without really looking at who is the republican candidate.

    Which is exactly how the Romney/GOP Puppet masters wants it.

    I didn't bother reading the article. The fact is that the sherriff won't be out of danger until President Obama is out of office. Actual guilt has nothing to do with our DOJ. It's is currently just a goon squad motivated by idealogy, not the law of the land.

    Just because the Justice Department dropped the case because the did not find enough evidence to be prosecutable (they even said prosecuting elected officials is tricky) does not mean he is not corrupt. Even if some of the things he has done is not criminal they certainly are unethical and he will hopefully be voted out this year.

    Well I will choose to vote out someone who have proven to be unethical and very possibly corrupt and since I live in this egomaniac's county I can help do just that.

    As a left wing tool, you are disqualified from being taken seriously.

    Don't like Arapaio? Move to California were liberal idiots run the government from top to bottom.

    Calling people names and making assumptions doesn't make you right.
    There are people from the left and the right here that want Arpaio out and just because I don't like our sheriff is certainly not a reason to move. You are one of those playing into the dividing of this once great nation which is truly sad.

    Just because you say you are right doesn't make it so and you are still part of dividing rather than uniting the country with your attitude. People are people and it isn't one side or the others fault it is everyone's responsibility.

    Arpaio has been cleared.

    Obama and his scum bag AG armed Mexican drug cartels that killed hundreds of people and are defying a congressional subpoena.

    You side is filled with criminals and illegal aliens and this is why they persecute Sheriff Joe.
