Yes he did,,,,, You know What He did,,,,OK,,,,I'll Tell You.
Quote:President Trump Has Pardoned Controversial Former Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio
Yes, we're both Happy he did.
Quote:President Donald Trump on Friday pardoned former Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio, rewarding a vocal political supporter who was convicted of contempt of court for refusing to halt a policing tactic to catch undocumented immigrants.
The controversial 85-year-old former Maricopa County sheriff, who lost re-election in 2016after 23 years in office, was found guilty of criminal contempt in July for defying a federal judge's order to stop detaining people based on suspicion of their immigration status when there was no evidence that they had broken a state law.
Facing up to six months in prison for the misdemeanor offense, Arpaio's lawyers had said he would appeal. The White House, however, issued this statement:
Quote:Today, President Donald J. Trump granted a Presidential pardon to Joe Arpaio, former Sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona. Arpaio’s life and career, which began at the age of 18 when he enlisted in the military after the outbreak of the Korean War, exemplify selfless public service. After serving in the Army, Arpaio became a police officer in Washington, D.C. and Las Vegas, NV and later served as a Special Agent for the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), formerly the Bureau of Narcotics. After 25 years of admirable service, Arpaio went on to lead the DEA’s branch in Arizona.
In 1992, the problems facing his community pulled Arpaio out of retirement to return to law enforcement. He ran and won a campaign to become Sheriff of Maricopa County. Throughout his time as Sheriff, Arpaio continued his life’s work of protecting the public from the scourges of crime and illegal immigration. Sheriff Joe Arpaio is now eighty-five years old, and after more than fifty years of admirable service to our Nation, he is worthy candidate for a Presidential pardon.
Trump's decision, while sure to be controversial, is not surprising: the president has repeatedly signaled his intention to pardon the Arizona sheriff.

I'm glad he pardoned him too. But... it has started...
President Donald Trump’s former ethics chief, who resigned last month because of disagreements with the White House over ethics policies, blasted the president’s decision on Friday to pardon Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
“Vile!!” began Walter Shaub, the former director of the Office of Government Ethics, on a Twitter thread. “What POTUS says ‘exemplifies selfless public service’ is: dehumanizing inmates, racial profiling, and gleefully defying a court order.”
Shaub tweeted that the pardon was a “harbinger of worse to come.”
“This pardon also departs from procedural norms. And as an affirmative act by POTUS, it reveals an emboldening,” he tweeted.
Trump’s controversial move came late on a Friday night as the country was preparing for a deadly hurricane off the coast of Texas. Former Maricopa County Sheriff Arpaio, who once proclaimed himself “America’s toughest sheriff,” was convicted last month of criminal contempt for violating a 2011 order that forbade the sheriff and his office from detaining individuals solely because of their legal status.
But Shaub was hardly alone in his outrage, as other current and former public officials also condemned Trump’s pardon.
Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton released a statement saying that the Arpaio’s tactics “terrorized Latino families because of their skin color.”
A number of members of Congress posted similar sentiments of disappointment on social media. Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), a Republican critic of the president, expressed his wish that Trump would “honor the judicial process and let it take its course.” - This article originally appeared on HuffPost.

Well, Sen. Flake... (his name really fits, doesn't it?) we Americans would like to see the judicial process take it's course too. So, where are the warrants for Hillary's and Obama's arrest?

I'm Glad this POS is Gone,,, he should have resigned when is Ideal Obama left Office and his Goddess Hillary Lost.
This worthless Scumbag was Hired By Obama so he held Obama and Hillary's views.

If Trump was a little Smarter, he should have Fired everyone Obama or Hillary had Hired.

Arpaio should never have investigated Obama's birth certificate situation, he got too close.
(But I believe he wasn't wrong)

So Obama pardons (sets free) 160 detainees from Gitmo and some have returned to their killing endeavors yet hardly a peep from the crowd stage left..
Trump pardons one guy who was doing his job and had a liberal judge presiding over his day in court and you would think the world is coming to and end !!
Stay armed we have been invaded by the walking brain dead !

But... what I didn't appreciate was the troubles in Arizona were a problem way-before then.
