The political witch hunt is officially at an end. The former Sheriff of Mariposa County, AZ has received a pardon from President Trump.
President Trump granted a pardon to Joe Arpaio, the former sheriff of Maricopa County, Ariz., on Friday. Arpaio, 85, was recently found guilty of criminal contempt for defying a judge's order to stop traffic patrols that allegedly targeted immigrants.
He had been charged with misdemeanor contempt of court for allegedly willfully defying a judge’s order in 2011 and prolonging his patrols for another 17 months.
The idiot 9th District Judge Susan Bolton who ruled that Sheriff Arpaio was not entitled to a misdemeanor jury trial was obviously channeling District Judge G. Murray Snow who should have recused himself from the case as he and his wife displayed hostile intent toward Arpaio.
Arpaio acknowledged extending the patrols, but insisted it wasn't intentional, blaming one of his former attorneys for not properly explaining the importance of the court order and brushing off the conviction as a "petty crime."
He was expected to be sentenced on Oct. 5 and faced up to six months in jail if convicted. "Sheriff Joe Arpaio is now 85 years old, and after more than 50 years of admirable service to our Nation, he is worthy candidate for a Presidential pardon," the White House said in a statement.
Unlike our former President Barack *spit* Obama, I have yet to see a single drug dealer receiving a pardon from President Trump.
