Law, you libs are funny. Anything you accuse the gop doing, you do the,same 1000x worse. I see why you want to stamp out America's history. It's so incriminating again fascism and marxism.

So did you have a problem with Obama pardoning some of the people he did, including traitors?


Pardoning someone for disobeying a court order is just more of an attack on the courts. And now Joe says his conviction was a political witch hunt.

Sigh.

He needs to be impeached. Right now.

Has there ever been a time you didn't think he should be impeached?

Yeah, didn't think so.

To the tune of "On the Bayou":

Good bye Joe, you gotta go and leave the jail-o.
Back on the street, that's where we'll meet... oh, tomorrow.
We'll all cheer , that's what we'll do me-oh, my-oh.

A few things I would add to what has been said:

1) The timing of this pardon makes it clear that the White House didn't want a lot of people to take notice of it. This was treated as a late Friday afternoon news dump while part of the country is under the threat of a hurricane. This could have been done earlier in the week but they didn't want it receiving much attention. That was gutless.

2) The argument that people are only angry about this pardon because it involves Trump are just wrong. The pardoning of Marc Rich by Bill Clinton on his last day in office received bi-partisan ridicule in 2001 and was heavily scrutinized as were the other pardons that Clinton did while leaving office including that of his brother Roger.

3) Sheriff Joe Arpaio was a law enforcement officer who openly defied a judge's order. Since when does a sheriff get to decide which court orders he will and won't abide by? He abused the powers of his office and he will now face no consequences for it.

4) The White House press release emphasized that Arpaio is 85 years old as if to suggest that his age was a factor. I think that's a pretty weak argument but whatever...

Joe Arpaio: "My conviction was nothing but a conspiracy against me by President Obama."


"In March 2015, a month before the scheduled contempt hearing, Arpaio admitted that he violated several court orders, and consented to a finding of civil contempt against him. Because the matter of criminal contempt was still at issue, the initial contempt hearing was held as scheduled."
