Trump pardons former Sheriff Joe Arpaio - CNNPolitics

"Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump has pardoned controversial former sheriff Joe Arpaio of his conviction for criminal contempt, the White House said Friday night.

Arpaio, who was a sheriff in Maricopa County, Arizona, was found guilty of criminal contempt last month for disregarding a court order in a racial profiling case. Arpaio's sentencing had been scheduled for October 5."

not even sentenced yet and he pardons him - that is how bad trump wanted to do this for his friend and his base.

he cant even articulate a legal justification for doing so, just his feelings...

 

[TalkingLeaf]

Constitution be damned, as long as your a trump supporter.

Good timing too. Wait until a cat 4 hurricane is about to make landfall and use that as cover for a controversial pardon.

This, plus the transgender ban, I wonder what else he is going to do while a major hurricane barrels into Texas.

Today a hurricane hits Texas, gorka resigns, mueller subpoenas go out, arpaio gets pardoned, and North Korea launches a few missiles.

Ending DACA tonight seems a very realistic probability. In normal times this would be a bad joke but now doing shit like this while millions of Americans are fleeing a major storm is just par for the course.

It's like he wants more Charlottesville-style white supremacist rallies...

You like your law enforcement officials to detain people without charges? Stopping them for no other reason than being a certain race?

You like your law enforcement to violate the constitutional rights of citizens?

You like your law enforcement officials to ignore court rulings and take the law into their own hands?

if yes, then next time you see antifa burning an American flag you can cheer them on instead of being disgusted by them.

Sherrif joe would have antifa rotting in a tent camp in 112 degree heat for the next 6 months

Now he can go golf while doing nothing about Texas since they'll be talking about this instead of golf. Clever girl.....

Violating people's first amendment rights...commie bastards.

Violating people's fourth amendment rights...what the world needs.

 

[Jesus X]

trump just basically gave law enforcement a blank check for breaking the law now.

shit is going to hit the fan now that they have impunity.

 

[kneeblock]

Trump is basically Joker in Dark Knight at this point. A dog chasing cars.

Between that and encouraging cops to rough up suspects.

Very presidential.

Former Trump Ethics Director Calls Arpaio Pardon 'A Harbinger Of Worse to Come'

Countless "constitution be damned" decisions were made under obama. Obama also pardoned 212 people, and commuted more than any president in history. Take a look at his list and their offences. Because Arpaio is high profile it's a problem?

In reference to the transgender ban, you are aware that that was the official policy until last year, right? He isn't exactly turning back time a century, lol.

you are uninformed, cant even get the numbers right, and obviously being disingenuous.

it is telling that not a single word in your reply tried to defend trump's actions here, just deflection.

Is there a list kicking around of who was pardoned?

Didnt Obama pardon a bunch of non-violent drug offenders that faced harsh sentences?

Yes, there is a list, and no, it wasn't just "non-violent" drug offenders (whatever that means).
Pardons Granted by President Barack Obama (2009-2017) | PARDON | Department of Justice

Even if i didnt post the list, Was the sheriff violent? Was he a drug offender? In looking at lists of pardons by any president, can you point out people who made the united states safer? He certainly made inmates not want to go back to jail, and he did believe in actually enforcing the kaws on illegal immigration (may I reiterate illegal). Most presidents are pussies and wait until the end of their presidency to make decisions on pardons they believe in, but think may cause controversy. Trump just does what he thinks is right. I support him in this decision, and most of his voters do too. The media is up in arms on every decision he makes, and the polls are similar to when he won presidency - wrong. He has strong backingl

I am judging the arpaio pardon based on the crimes and actions committed by arpaio. Just because obama pardoned people doesn't take away the fact that arpaio was pardoned after violating the constitutional rights of citizens and ignoring a court order.

I am not a fan of pardoning law enforcement officials who ignore the constitution and the court.

If you want to dissect some obama pardons I will gladly condemn those that rise to this egregious level of disdain for the protections our constitution affords us from overzealous law enforcement.

As far as the transgender ban I was merely referring to the timing of the announcement. its not an accident these things were announcenced the same day as a big hurricane.
