Feds Charge Sheriff Arpaio With Criminal Contempt-of-Court

Breitbart:

Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio has been officially charged with criminal contempt-of-court over claims he ignored a judge’s order in a racial profiling case. The move by the federal government comes just two weeks before Arpaio stands before the voters of Maricopa County for re-election to his seventh term.

Breitbart Texas’ Lana Shadwick reported on October 11, that prosecutors for the Department of Justice were preparing charges for his allegedly violations of a court order on racial profiling. At that time, Judge Susan Bolton asked the prosecutors to write a “show cause order” for her to sign.

Arpaio claimed the charges by the Obama Justice Department are politically motivated in an ad last week, Fox News reported on Tuesday evening. Arpaio’s lawyer, Mel McDonald told Fox News he believes “that when the final chapter is written, he (Arpaio) will be vindicated.”

  1. He’ll make a great head of Homeland Security under President Trump.

    I’d like to see Allen West as Sec Def and Bolton take over and clean out State.

    Not sure about DOJ, but whoever it is needs to fire 99% on day one and re-build. I might even trust Cruz with this one, then put him on the Supreme court after he gets DOJ cleaned up.

  2. Who was it that had as his avatar a picture of a little kid with a clenched fist and grimace on his face like that picture of Sheriff Joe? Was it MadJack? Anyway I liked the avatar. It would be funny to see both pictures side by side.

  3. If I was Sheriff Arpaio, I would view that damned court with utter contempt too.
    Good for him.

    BTW – Lazlo wins the Internets. Brilliant idea!
