Judge Refers Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio for Criminal Prosecution

[Procrustes Stretched]

Everybody lies. And I seriously doubt there's a completely honest county sheriff anywhere in the country.

Of course not. They're all elected officials.

What has that got to do anything? Are you saying elected officials are different?

You're view of the world is pathetic "People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

I never said anybody is above the law. And yes, everybody lies. Even the sheriff.

Not every Sheriff lies "to the court in an effort to cover up misconduct, and willfully" flouts "court orders"

Man, you fuckers are coming at me in droves. So I think I'll bow out now.

Yes. Elected officials are different. Nobody ever gets elected telling people the truth.

‘In making the referral to the United States attorney’s office for criminal contempt charges, Judge G. Murray Snow of Federal District Court in Phoenix delivered the sharpest rebuke against Mr. Arpaio, who as the long-serving sheriff in Maricopa County made a name for himself as an unrelenting pursuer of undocumented immigrants.

Sheriff Arpaio and Chief Deputy Jerry Sheridan “have a history of obfuscation and subversion of this court’s orders that is as old as this case,” Judge Snow wrote in his order.

Sheriff Arpaio and Mr. Sheridan had also made numerous false statements under oath, Judge Snow wrote, and “there is also probable cause to believe that many if not all of the statements were made in an attempt to obstruct any inquiry into their further wrongdoing or negligence.”’

Arpaio is innocent until proven guilty, of course.

But given the evidence, the facts of the case, and Arpaio’s clear contempt for the rule of law, criminal prosecution is more than warranted.

First we had this jerk facing justice "Former Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca withdrew his guilty plea Monday to a charge of lying during an FBI investigation into the county’s jails, opting instead to take his chances at a high-stakes trial." -- Hopefully he gets the book thrown at him during sentencing, and we get the next biggest asswipe in law enforcement facing justice.

“When a federal court finds that a law enforcement official has lied to the court in an effort to cover up misconduct, and willfully flouted court orders, that official must be held to account.”

What a fraud

Ex-L.A. County Sheriff Lee Baca pleads not guilty to new obstruction charges

Simple... It was unintentional. Case dismissed citing the Clintonian exception.

Simple: red herring fallacy.

The thread is about Arpaio, not Clinton.

But your failed attempt to deflect by lying is understandable.

Arpaio and Sheridan will go to jail if they live long enough.

Coming at you pwjohn ? You pathetic little man. How dare you claim anything here is about you!

Arpaio is innocent until proven guilty, of course.

Only in a court of law.

What he deserves is to be tied down daily in one of his tents. Smear some peanut butter on him.
