Default Feds end probe of 'America's toughest sheriff' Joe Arpaio; no charges

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," and no charges will be filed, the U.S. Attorney's Office said on Friday.

Maricopa County, Ariz., Sheriff Joe Arpaio is shown attending Republican National Convention on Wednesday in Tampa, Fla.

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.

This has been nothing but a witch hunt by the obama administrations court jester eric holder. I suspect that the rest of the investigations will go quietly by the way side as well.

As predicted, they found zilch.

I seriously hope the Eric Holder winds up in prison for his abuse of office.

What HAS Holder done in office????...That's a serious question...

Black Panthers?...Case simply dropped...

Jon Corzine loses over a billion and a half dollars from his company's customers?...No charges filed...

Spends millions on a raid of Gibson guitars?...Settled out of court...

White House leaks?...Still "investigating" (or so we're told)...

Investigation of Sheriff Joe?...Nothing...

Hell! They couldn't even get Roger Clemens!...First a retrial for prosecutorial misconduct, then found not guilty...

They only things Holder is actually known for is Fast & Furious, attacking voter ID laws, suing states for trying to do what the Feds should be doing, and prosecuting marijuana facilities after first saying they won't...

So seriously...How anyone can say...with a shred of integrity...that Holder is anything above "below average" is beyond comprehension...

In July, Arpaio said that volunteer investigators working for him concluded that President Barack Obama’s birth certificate is not legitimate.
"At the very least," he said at a news conference, "I can tell you this, based on all of the evidence presented and investigated, I cannot in good faith report to you that these documents are authentic."
yep, looks like both of them were hunting for a witch, Arpio and Obama

Classic Leftist relativism. Obama's DOJ trying to put Arpaio in jail is equivalent to investigating the President's birth certificate.

Well if Holder does scrap thru all of the crap he faces and wil face History will tell his sorry story one can bet on it unless all of the history is done by some of these left leaning bio writers.

But that UNLESS will be over turned by the middle of the road bio writers one can count on it.

Do you like right from wrong? Or is that why you don't care for Arpaio... I think he has done a great job.

And all he and his department does is follow AZ. state laws.

Call me old fashioned Mlurp but I still believe in the The Eighth Amendment (Amendment VIII.) And I feel that putting people in baking hot tents, feeding them slop and making them wear pink undies is both cruel and unusual.
