The US Attorney’s office dropped its investigation against Sheriff Joe Arpaio into whether he mismanaged tens of millions of dollars and went after some of his political enemies.

Reuters reported:
The federal government has closed a criminal probe of alleged financial misconduct by Arizona lawman Joe Arpaio, who styles himself as “America’s toughest sheriff,” saying no charges would be filed, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said on Friday.
A separate federal investigation relating to allegations of civil rights abuses by Arpaio’s office is continuing.
The announcement on Friday marked the end of an investigation that began in November 2010 at the behest of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors to examine alleged financial improprieties by the county sheriff and his deputies.
A federal criminal inquiry into several of those matters was concluded last summer with the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Arizona declining to initiate criminal charges.
Maricopa County authorities were informed on Friday that federal prosecutors had likewise declined to bring charges in connection with allegations that the sheriff’s office had misused county credit cards or misspent money from jail facilities excise taxes.
In addition, the U.S. Attorney’s Office declined to prosecute two former officials of the county attorney’s office who were accused of wrongfully prosecuting a local judge.

Some two really tough guys. One in real life and one on the big screen. People often miss the real men until they are in the public eye. On screen and in real life. Seems this government not just hates Americans becoming rich by doing the hard work and honest day after day work, to become successful and that success is far reaching and it affects many lives.
But Sheriff Joe Arpaio went about his life locking the bad up and then they also tried to punish him for it. You would think we are living under Hilter. What sort of Administration is this really. Going after the great ones, those who have done an honest days work, some with little pay and others who have made it big, money wise.
Why would this government be taking a course so wrong, spending all that money to go after a man who has done his job and done it well. In any other administration this would be rewarded for their service but this strong arm government is looking weaker and weaker by each day that passes.
I believe it is obvious who good old Sheriff Joe Arpaio will be voting for and hopefully, he can get on with the business of arresting the criminals. There seems to be a few in Washington.

#4…right, that is exactly what the federal government did in this investigation. it arpaio hadn’t gone after the birth certificate issue there would never have been an investigation.
Oliver commented:
and after the media completely ignored his last press conference on the birth certificate, the government dropped the charges. How convenient.
just-saying commented:
Sue Holder for slander.

Ah, crap! Another one of Eric Holders government Witch Hunts is busted!
I am so angry with Eric Holder I could Barney Frank him – then let Hillary user her broom stick on his arse! I don’t care if she breaks the broom stick off in his hole!
Eric Holder stinks and so does my campaign! I can’t even get George Looney to give me $5,000,000.00 before midnight!
My Hollywood Donors blow! They are avoiding me like Typhoid Barry! Not one of them called to make a donation! Even Chris Tingles blows! I am disgusted with them!
My campaign bus is running out of expensive diesel fuel and Davy “bent” Axelrod can’t even scam a single Hollywood Talking Head for a $40,999.99 per plate fund raiser. Axelrod stinks!
I might as well continue to send my donor’s money to my hidden overseas Bank Account! I don’t think they can touch me on Isle of Man.
My campaign may suck but once I divert my campaign funds to my overseas Bank Account and screw my donors it will suck worse! Good day.

Obamas time is over anything
And everything he does from
now on he will lose. Hate to
be preachy but it’s all by
“intelligent design”. That’s the
PC moniker for GOD.
Powder is dry

Romney should appoint Sheriff Joe Arpaio as head of DHS, if anyone can secure our border it would be Joe.
Ace commented:
Has Arpaio dropped his investigation of Obama, you know, the one GP never reports on?
retire05 commented:
Meanwhile, while all the news was on the GOP convention, Eric Holder’s Department of In-Justice dropped the investigation of all the CIA agents that interrogated those enemies of the U.S., like Kalid Sheikh Mohommend, at Gitmo.
Holder was going to show those bad boys that this administration would punish those CIA agents for waterboarding the man who helped facilitate 9-11. Only problem, Eric Holder is an incompetent putz, and all he can do is file law suits against states that didn’t vote Obama and hope some unelected judge slaps the state.
Jonah Vark commented:
If you haven’t seen Sheriff Arpaio’s evidence, compiled by law enforcement agents, you should take the time to review it. The evidence proves, beyond a doubt, that the Obama birth certificate that was posted on the White House website is a fraud.
Think about it. Why would Obama spend two million dollars against numerous lawsuits to avoid presenting his original birth certificate to a court of law??? Why wouldn’t Obama present his original birth certificate that would prove he was born in Hawaii and thus prevent LTC Terry Lakin from going to Leavenworth?????
But the most compelling question remains, if Obama has the original birth certificate issued at the time of his birth, why would he post a fake birth certificate on the White House website?????
Sheriff Arpaio held press conferences on March 31st and July 17th that revealed evidence of fraud but the American media neglected to report the news. Why is that? Are they incompetent, intimidated, biased …or all of the above?

Kinda makes you wonder if they may have come to a backroom deal… DoJ drops everything on Arpaio if he doesn’t come out with the worst of the evidence on
teh One. Worse things have happened with them…
golfmann commented:
I hope this wasn’t some sort of “deal” ie: You back off we’ll back off”
But more a case of Holder closing up shop loose ends before skipping the country.
GOP KICKS ASS commented:
Dear Obama adm – thank you so much for wasting more of our taxpayer dollars on another one of your conservative which hunts.
