Average Ameriacn Member	Mon Aug 14 16:11:14 He sides with PATRIOTS! http://www...trump-pardon-joe-arpaio-241621 Trump: I'm 'seriously considering' pardoning Joe Arpaio The recently convicted former sheriff tells POLITICO he hasn't yet been contacted by the White House about a pardon. By DIAMOND NAGA SIU and TED HESSON 08/14/2017 02:03 PM EDT Updated 08/14/2017 04:51 PM EDT President Donald Trump said Joe Arpaio, the recently convicted former sheriff of Maricopa County, could receive the first presidential pardon of his administration. “I am seriously considering a pardon for Sheriff Arpaio,” Trump told Fox News on Sunday. “He has done a lot in the fight against illegal immigration. He’s a great American patriot, and I hate to see what has happened to him.” Arpaio, who was found in contempt of court late July for continuing racial profiling practices, said last week that he would accept a pardon from Trump, though he did not know at the time whether the president knew about his legal tangle. The 85-year-old faces up to six months behind bars. Reached on Monday, Arpaio declined to comment about whether he's been contacted by the White House over a possible pardon. “I can’t answer that right now," Arpaio told POLITICO. "I don’t want to avoid it, but right now I can’t answer that.” Arpaio, who lost a reelection bid in November, developed a national reputation for his hardline approach to criminal justice and illegal immigration. Some of his tactics have run into resistance in federal courts, however. In a July 31 decision, U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton found Arpaio showed a “flagrant disregard” for an order that required the sheriff to stop detaining people who weren't suspected of a crime. The former sheriff said in an interview on Monday that he hasn't spoken with Trump directly, but reiterated that he would accept a pardon if it was offered. "I never asked for it, but I’ll accept it," he said. "I’m not guilty, that’s for sure.” Arpaio and Trump have a friendly history, and the former sheriff in 2016 handled security for the then-candidate’s rallies after endorsing him earlier that year. The two hold some similar views on how to handle immigration, and the former lawman occasionally spoke during the rallies. “Is there anyone in local law enforcement who has done more to crack down on illegal immigration then Sheriff Joe?” Trump asked. “He has protected people from crimes and saved lives. He doesn’t deserve to be treated this way.” Arpaio maintains his innocence and contends he is a victim of wrongheaded legal attacks. “This is probably the worst miscarriage of the judicial system in history,” he told POLITICO.

Hot Rod Revved Up	Mon Aug 14 18:09:08 ^^^-So, So wrong. A pardon would be appropriate. Arpaio is certainly an American patriot.
Dukhat Member	Mon Aug 14 20:06:34 All the racists so proud of themselves. It's pretty easy to track them now. Trump will be gone in less than 4 years. Nothing to protect you from getting your ass fired and your ass shunned by all major social groups. Good luck paying for internet access to your hate websites dumbshits.
Hot Rod Revved Up	Mon Aug 14 20:15:56 There is only one social group I care about. P A T R I O T S. (and I don't mean football.)
murder Member	Mon Aug 14 21:22:56 The "patriots" walking around with Confederate and Nazi flags?
Hot Rod Revved Up	Mon Aug 14 21:49:21 No, Sheriff Arpaio. Do try to keep up.

yankeessuck123 Member	Tue Aug 15 02:42:12 HR, thought you supported rule of law?
Hot Rod Revved Up	Tue Aug 15 03:34:59 I do, when the law is right. But, as far as I'm concerned racial profiling is nothing more than political correctness which I consider evil in and of itself.
hood Member	Tue Aug 15 07:40:04 Hot Rod supports people ignoring direct orders from the USSC. He calls these people patriots for ignoring the lawful order of the highest court in the land. Hot Rod is about as anti American as they come.
tumbleweed the wanderer	Tue Aug 15 09:45:30 Trump retweeted Fox & Friends with an article about Trump considering the pardon of Arpaio then some random guy responded w/ "he's a fascist, so not unusual" which Trump also retweeted for some reason (but then deleted) http://twitter.com/MikeHolden42/status/897416000802574336 certainly made that guy's day
