Sojourning_Soul stated >>> The good sheriff is 82 yrs old..... like he cares what people think He was found with a trunk full of pot and they still re-elected him in AZ. Why? Too many reasons to list, but the 1st would be because he don't take shite and he defends the Constitution and enforces it to a "T"! Say what you will about him. He'll die at that job..... even if he lives to be 100 Well, that thought and a honest politician will find you a road paved with gold and a straight hwy to heaven; something my grandpa used to say! LOL But for a man that went from selling seats on a fictitious space ship {see his Wikipedia page} and a media whore - to federal indictments for racial profiling and the following charges within his very own county >>> In August 2012, Sabrina Morrison filed a $30 million notice of claim (a precursor to a lawsuit) against Joe Arpaio and Maricopa County for gross negligence.[91]
In December 2011, responding to continuing media coverage of the controversy, and apparently unaware that there were hundreds of victims in these cases, Arpaio stated, in a press conference, "If there were any victims, I apologize to those victims."[92] Feuds with judges and County Supervisors Between 2008 and 2010, Arpaio and former Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas together undertook a number of government-corruption investigations targeting political opponents, including judges, county supervisors and administrators, resulting in filing of criminal charges against several individuals, lawsuits against the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, and a federal civil-racketeering suit against the supervisors, four judges, and attorneys who worked with the county.[93] In early 2010, Arpaio and Thomas sought to have a grand jury indict a number of Maricopa County Judges, Maricopa County Supervisors, and employees of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. The grand jury, in an unusual rebuke, ordered the investigation ended. This action has been described as meaning that "...the case is so bad, there's no further evidence that could be brought [to substantiate it]". Legal experts agree this is a rare move.[94] Arpaio and Thomas lost every case, either by ruling of the courts, or by dropping the case. Arpaio's and Thomas' actions in these matters led to Thomas' disbarment by a disciplinary panel of the Arizona Supreme Court, which found that Thomas "outrageously exploited power, flagrantly fostered fear, and disgracefully misused the law" while serving as Maricopa County Attorney. The panel found "clear and convincing evidence" that Thomas brought unfounded and malicious criminal and civil charges against political opponents, including four state judges and the state attorney general.[96] "Were this a criminal case," the panel concluded, "we are confident that the evidence would establish this conspiracy beyond a reasonable doubt."[97][98] At least 11 individuals filed lawsuits or legal claims as a result of being targeted by Arpaio and Thomas. The county settled all 11 cases, at significant cost:[93][99] Gary Donahoe, retired Superior Court judge: $1,275,000 settlement. County legal expenses: $767,127. Kenneth Fields, retired Superior Court judge: $100,000 settlement. County legal expenses: $81,040. Barbara Mundell, retired Superior Court judge: $500,000 settlement. County legal expenses: $134,273. Anna Baca, retired Superior Court judge: $100,000 settlement. County legal expenses: $112,588. Stephen Wetzel, former county technology director: $75,000 settlement. County legal expenses: $107,647. Sandi Wilson, deputy county manager and county budget director: $122,000 settlement. County legal expenses: $458,318. Don Stapley, former county supervisor: $3.5 million settlement. County legal expenses: $1,682,020. Mary Rose Wilcox, county supervisor: $975,000 settlement, plus 9,938 in court-ordered legal costs. County legal expenses to date: over $375,442. Susan Schuerman, Stapley’s executive assistant: $500,000 settlement. County legal expenses: $200,201. Conley Wolfswinkel, Stapley’s business associate: $1,400,000 settlement. County legal expenses: $1,586,152. Andy Kunasek, county supervisor: $123,110 settlement. County legal expenses: $1,150. As of June, 2014, costs to Maricopa County taxpayers related to Arpaio's and Thomas's failed corruption investigations exceeded $45 million, not including staff time http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Arpaio What county in they're right mind could afford this buffoon and why - other then 'FEAR' of repercussion from him or his goon squad techniques! The man is a menace! IMO Long over due to be forced out of office! |

One of the reasons the sheriff keeps getting elected and the taxpayers will gladly pay for the settlements rather than letting officials screw them out of even more |

Great...the 'ole it ain't me it's all of them' defence; and you'll stick with that story line because........Honest Joe Arpaio keeps feeding it to the residents!
Misuse of funds
An analysis by the Maricopa County Office of Management and Budget, completed in April 2011, found Arpaio had misspent almost $100 million over the previous 5 years.[112][113][114] The analysis showed that money from a restricted detention fund which could only legally be used to pay for jail items, such as food, detention officers' salaries and equipment, was used to pay employees to patrol Maricopa County.[112] The analysis also showed that many Sheriff's Office employees, whose salaries were paid from the restricted detention fund, were working job assignments different from those recorded in their personnel records. Arpaio's office kept a separate set of personnel books detailing actual work assignments, different from information kept on the county's official human-resources records.[113] Arpaio used the detention fund to pay for investigations of political rivals, and activities involving his human-smuggling unit.[112][113] The analysis also showed a number of inappropriate spending items, including a trip to Alaska where deputies stayed at a fishing resort, and trips to Disneyland. Separate investigations by The Arizona Republic uncovered widespread abuse of public funds and county policies by Arpaio's office, including high-ranking employees routinely charging expensive meals and stays at luxury hotels on their county credit cards.[116] The Republic also found that a restricted jail enhancement fund was improperly used to pay for out-of-state training, a staff party at a local amusement park, and a $456,000 bus, which was purchased by Arpaio in violation of county procurement rules. Fascinating reading his Wikipedia pages! Ya, know --- the only difference between good ole' Joe Arpaio and the Mafia is the year that the he's pulling off his hustle! But again this has happened in that great state of Arizona where the BLM and Sen. John McCain gave thousands of acres for copper mining interest to the Auzzies {aka Queen Mother} and he managed that with a DOD bill; so nothing surprises me but it does make me sad that this type of political illegal skills seems to garner no reaction! It is only tax payer money - who cares??? |

Whilst I do believe,
this nation can do better than have obonzo as potus... Arpaio is alot like the fat girl from the Dixie chicks. In as much as, he'd be okay, if he could just shut up. |

Like Cali did to Dying Frankenstein and Nazi Piglozi They even quit going home during congressional break because the only ones who ever showed up for their speeches were protesters

The could raise treasonous little "song birds" together John Kerry could be their godfather and Lindsey Graham their nanny The kids would be so confused they'd hide from society.... meanwhile we might be free of a plague or 2 on America in DC for a change And of course Slimy Reid is retiring to go home to Nevada and throw ranchers off the BLM land he has marked for sale to foreign corporations.... with the help of his son |

mccain is a fake son of a b1tch, mr. POW who sang like a bird when he got captured. An incident on the flight deck of U.S.S. Forestal, made me question which side McCain was on. Seems he "accidently" launched a missile, killing, maiming, and injuring u.s. naval personnel.. As well as, crippling a u.s. naval vessel. |

Enjoy your delusions. If there really WAS anything to any of this idiocy, the Republicans would have looooooong ago used it to push him out of office. Look at it this way: the GOP spent MILLIONS of our tax dollars, and years of investigation JUST to formally accuse Clinton of getting a BJ and lying about it. They tried to force him out of office for what they were doing in the cloakrooms downtown all the time themselves, and they STILL pretend that they were right to do so. If there was ANY reality behind this crap, do you really think they would just accept it? It doesn't matter that he cheated, who the hell cares. It does matter that he LIED UNDER OATH. You would think an Attorney would know better. Just sayin' |

As amusing as it would be, reading the reports of the sheriff attempting to arrest a sitting potus... There is no law saying he cant arrest him. Many Federal politician's have been arrested by local and state authorities. |
