Arpaio pardoned

[hater]

Lots of my homies and familia still coming in niggas

But still respect Trumps decision to pardon Arpaio.

Although that old piece of dogshit is a foul subhuman, Trumps pardon move was a no brainer

He will gain lots of love from his redneck ignorant base. They will lve him for it. And he will not lose too much due to that move

It was a chess move. A no brainer move to survive the media onslaught

I hate Arpaio and hope the old man kicks it in the next few days

But Trumps move was a chessmaster no brainer

Biggs said in a statement that President Trump "brought justice to a situation where the Obama administration had attempted to destroy a political opponent.

"Sheriff Joe Arpaio made many enemies in the judicial system, the media, and the left because he enforced laws that the federal government ignored," the first-term Biggs said.

[ducks]

"He asked for a jury trial," the fourth-term Gosar said. "From that standpoint, this was railroaded all the way through.

"When you talk about a justice system that was so negligent, the Obama administration set up Joe Arpaio on day one — and that's hardly an application of the rule of law.

Trump’s Arpaio Pardon Signals a Constitution in Crisis


The president is acting like a dictator.


Trump’s pardon is disturbing for a number of reasons.

The obvious one: Arpaio is an unapologetic racist

whose pardon proves that the president will assist political leaders in circumventing the law when it comes to racial discrimination.

Arpaio routinely abused people of color and did so over a period of many years, starting in the 1990s.

The president described Arpaio as merely getting into legal trouble for doing his job.

The idea that Trump perceives the routine, unlawful detainment of a racial minorities to be a basic part of policing should send a chill down Americans’ spines.

the scariest part of this pardon is the implication it has for the rule of law.

Trump used the pardon like a dictator, interfering in the sentencing of a criminal person

because that individual is a political ally.

Trump signalled that our nation of laws is crumbling and

its constitutional form of government is in crisis.

The resulting political system mirrors the authoritarian regimes we used to cite as our cautionary tales.

Trump’s Arpaio Pardon Was An Impeachable Offense According To The Founding Fathers


According to the Founding Fathers, Trump's pardon of Joe Arpaio is an abuse of presidential pardoning power that is an impeachable offens

Writing for Bloomberg, Cass Sunstein (https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2017-08-08/the-plain-answer-to-the-trump-pardon-question) examined the writings of the Founding Fathers on the president’s impeachment powers:

Gently, Madison pointed to “one security in this case to which gentlemen may not have adverted.”

The security was that “if the President be connected, in any suspicious manner, with any person, and

there be grounds to believe he will shelter him, the House of Representatives can impeach him; [and]

they can remove him if found guilty.”

In Madison’s view, “This is a great security.”….

More broadly, Madison urged that if the president was merely “connected, in any suspicious manner,” with someone who was engaged in wrongdoing, and

if he decided to “shelter” (meaning pardon) him, then the president could be impeached.


The president does have the power to pardon, but that power is not complete as Trump has suggested.

The Founding Fathers expressed the belief that a president can be impeached for abusing his pardoning power.

If Democrats take back the House, Trump’s pardon of Arpaio alone could be viewed as an impeachable offense.

Donald Trump doesn’t have the unlimited presidential power that he thinks he does.

His pardon of Arpaio was a disgrace to the presidency,

but the even bigger question which the courts may someday have to resolve is, does a president have complete impeachment power?

If the answer is no, Trump may have just pardoned his way into impeachment.

Trump’s Arpaio pardon will ‘encourage others’ to build concentration camps with his blessing

pardoning of former Sheriff Joe Arpaio is an endorsement of concentration camps in the United States

“Once Arpaio began neighborhood sweeps and traffic stops deliberately targeting Latinos, and

then detaining them without charges,

his whole enterprise tilted further toward being a concentration camp for that set of detainees,”

“And even for those who had been convicted of crimes, it was a harrowing, often deadly experience.”

“When it was just Arpaio and his deputies doing it, it was a freelance, loose-cannon operation.

What happened yesterday is that the President of the United States put his position behind it and used executive power to bless these tactics,”

“Historically, when this kind of thing has happened, it’s encouraged other people to take up the same tactics.”

“I think that Tent City has been very successful,” Arpaio told Fox 10 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7KbMR4wb5o) in Phoenix during the 2016 election campaign.

“Why would four presidential candidates come down here and stand next to me and say they will put tents up around the nation.”
Arpaio thanked (https://www.rawstory.com/2017/08/thank-you-for-reaching-the-president-joe-arpaio-credits-alex-jones-for-potential-trump-pardon/) Alex Jones, Roger Stone and Matt Drudge for “reaching the president” to arrange the pardon.

Harvard Law professor Noah Feldman argued that the pardon was an impeachable offense (https://www.rawstory.com/2017/08/remedy-is-impeachment-harvard-law-prof-on-trump-pardoning-joe-arpaio/).

The Arizona Republic today editorialized (http://www.azcentral.com/story/opinion/editorial/2017/08/25/donald-trump-resurrects-joe-arpaio-irrelevance/604067001/) against Trump pardoning Arpaio.

“The pardon was a sign of pure contempt for every American who believes in justice, human dignity and the rule of law,” Republic concluded.

“By pardoning Arpaio,

Trump made it clear that institutional racism is not just OK with him.

It is a goal.

That should trouble every American who believes that our duty as a nation is to continue working on behalf of equal justice.”

A Top Historian On Fascism Just Issued A Chilling Warning About Trump’s Arpaio Pardon

renowned author Charles Kaiser penned a brutal takedown (http://billmoyers.com/story/arpaio-pardon-may-opening-act-constitutional-crisis/#.WaGSaAFJbGM.facebook) of the President’s actions, calling them the “opening act of a constitutional crisis,” spelling out in no uncertain terms the challenge we’re now facing


By pardoning a man convicted of criminal contempt for direct violation of a Federal order, Trump is now flaunting his eagerness to overturn the rule of law in America.

I have never seen anyone who has acted more obviously guilty than Donald Trump has almost every single day since he became president.

From his tete-a-tete with James Comey, in which he asked the FBI director to end his investigation of Michael Flynn,

to his firing of the same man when he failed to heed that warning,

to his newly-reported phone call to North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis to complain about a bill that would protect special counsel Robert Mueller’s independence,

the president has engaged in one blatant attempt to obstruct justice after another.

Kasier reveals what he believes is the real reason Trump

pardoned Arpaio – to show his former campaign team members currently under the scrutiny of Special Counsel Mueller that he is willing to do the same for them too,

so long as they keep silent as to what actually happened between the Trump campaign and agents of the Russian Federation:


For many weeks, Washington has been swirling with rumors that Mueller already has secured the cooperation of Michael Flynn and Paul Manafort in his investigation of the president.

And Trump undoubtedly is more vulnerable to the testimony of these two men than he is to that of any other players in this fearful drama.

Therefore, Trump must feel compelled to

send this message through Arpaio’s pardon:

the president is eager and willing to do the same thing for anyone who might be pressured into testifying against him.

The warning signs, says Kaiser, are all too familiar to him.


I have a written a book about France under fascism, and what we are now experiencing is exactly what incipient fascism looks like.

The combination of Trump’s relentless assaults on the free press, his open encouragement of Nazis — which is the only honest description of his initial refusal to condemn them — and now a pardon without even pretending to go through the normal channels of the Justice Department —

these are all the acts of man who is blatantly defying his sacred pledge to uphold the Constitution of the United States.

He finishes with an ominous warning to the Republican Party, comparing them to the Vichy French who enabled the Nazi takeover of their nation and the genocide of French Jews.


Like the men and women of Vichy France who began their collaboration with the Nazis seventy-seven years ago,

from now on, every senator and House member of either party who continues to remain silent about this president’s unconstitutional acts is directly complicit in the high crimes and misdemeanors of Donald Trump.

Senator Lindsay Graham already has said that the firing of Attorney General Jeff Sessions would mean the beginning of the end of Trump’s presidency.

It is long past time for all of Graham’s colleagues in both houses to declare that the same thing will be true if the president dares to repeat the horrific abuse of his pardon power that we witnessed last night.

Otherwise, America is destined for an era of violence and darkness unlike any we have ever witnessed since the end of the Civil War, one hundred and fifty-two years ago.

Trump Just Retweeted A False Story About President Obama To Defend His Pardon Of Sheriff Arpaio


http://occupydemocrats.com/wp-content/uploads/pav-1.jpg

She is referring to conservative lightning rods, Chelsea Manning and Oscar López Rivera —

neither of whom were pardoned but had lengthy sentences commuted.

But the deceit does not stop there.

The Defense Department determined (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/chelsea-manning-leaks-national-security-us-no-damage-report-us-a7801101.html) “with high confidence that [Manning’s leaks] will have no direct personal impact on current and former US leadership in Iraq.”

In light of that, and the abuse Manning had taken during her seven years in prison, Obama determined — not that she should be pardoned or did nothing wrong — but that time had been served. Manning’s disclosures have earned her numerous international honors (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea_Manning#Foreign_tributes) — not from America’s enemies but our allies.
Find Out More >

López Rivera (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_L%C3%B3pez_Rivera) is a former member of a militant Puerto Rican independence organization, who pled guilty to charges brought against him in the late 1970’s. He also served in Vietnam with the U.S. Army and earned a Bronze Star for his service. His sentence was commuted after serving 35 years in prison at the age of 74.

The stories of these two Americans is complex,

both served years in prison, and neither were pardoned.

In contrast, Arpaio bragged

about torturing people based on their ethnicity and race,

driving many to their deaths.

His tenure as Sheriff is a dark chapter in American history and his pardon is an abomination.

Trash surrogate implies criminal collusion between judge and DoJ to go after Arpaio. This is now all over right wing hate media as revealed truth direct from God.

"Without any evidence to back it up, Michael Caputo, a former Trump campaign aide and supporter, insinuated that a federal judge and the U.S. Department of Justice under President Obama colluded to go after Arpaio criminally.

The comment from Caputo came after CNN’s legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin pointed out that

it was a federal judge who initiated the contempt charge not the Justice Department.

U.S. District Court Judge Murray Snow recommended to prosecutors t (http://www.reuters.com/article/us-arizona-sheriff-contempt-idUSKCN10V018)hat they bring contempt charges.

Snow found that Arpaio willfully violated his order which prohibited Arpaio’s department from unconstitutionally stopping drivers just because they suspected they were in the country illegally.

Judge Snow also found that Arpaio failed to properly keep records like he was supposed to.

“If you think that the judge and the Justice Deparment weren’t communicating than you are a little naive on that part too,” Caputo insisted about why the charges against Arpaio were brought.

That quickly drew the attention of CNN host John Berman (http://www.reuters.com/article/us-arizona-sheriff-contempt-idUSKCN10V018)who asked Caputo if

he just made the allegation that the DOJ and a federal judge colluded without any evidence.

Caputo seemed to stumble a bit.

“No, that’s not what I’ve done. What I’m saying here is the judge is an Obama appointee, the Justice Department who brought this down on Arpaio was very .. ,” Caputo said trailing off.

Actually Caputo is wrong on that point too. U.S. District Judge Murray Snow, who initiated the charges, is a George W. Bush appointee.

Judge Susan Bolton, who found Arpaio guilty during a trial, is also not an Obama appointee (she was appointed by Bill Clinton)"

Legal challenge to Arpaio pardon begins

The Arizona Republic reports (http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/phoenix/2017/08/29/judge-wont-vacate-former-sheriff-joe-arpaios-contempt-conviction-without-oral-arguments/614854001/):



U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton canceled former Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s upcoming sentencing hearing for his criminal contempt-of-court conviction, telling attorneys not to file replies to motions that were pending before his recent presidential pardon.

However, Bolton on Tuesday stopped short of throwing out the conviction based solely on Arpaio’s request.

Instead she ordered Arpaio and the U.S. Department of Justice, which is prosecuting the case, to file briefs on why she should or shouldn’t grant Arpaio’s request.


In other words, this is no slam dunk.

Protect Democracy (https://unitedtoprotectdemocracy.org/about/), an activist group seeking to thwart Trump’s violations of legal norms, and a group of lawyers have sent a letter to Raymond N. Hulser and John Dixon Keller of the Public Integrity Section, Criminal Division of the Justice Department, arguing that the pardon goes beyond constitutional limits.

In their letter obtained by Right Turn, they argue:


While the Constitution’s pardon power is broad, it is not unlimited. Like all provisions of the original Constitution of 1787, it is limited by later-enacted amendments, starting with the Bill of Rights.

For example, were a president to announce that he planned to pardon all white defendants convicted of a certain crime but not all black defendants, that would conflict with the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause.

Similarly, issuance of a pardon that violates the Fifth Amendment’s Due Process Clause is also suspect.

Under the Due Process Clause, no one in the United States (citizen or otherwise) may “be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.”

But for due process and judicial review to function, courts must be able to restrain government officials.

Due process requires that, when a government official is found by a court to be violating individuals’ constitutional rights, the court can issue effective relief (such as an injunction) ordering the official to cease this unconstitutional conduct.

And for an injunction to be effective, there must be a penalty for violation of the injunction—principally, contempt of court.


Put simply, the argument is that the president cannot obviate the court’s powers to enforce its orders when the constitutional rights of others are at stake.

“The president can’t use the pardon power to immunize lawless officials from consequences for violating people’s constitutional rights,”

if the president can pardon anyone who defies court orders to enforce constitutional protections,

then those constitutional protections are rendered meaningless.

It is a creative argument, but then, this president has created new and disturbing challenges to democratic norms.

“Judge Bolton may want to see how the honorable lawyers of DOJ’s public integrity section respond personally in open court —

themselves as officers of the bar who’ve taken an oath to uphold the Constitution —

to the blatant abuse of power by their boss.”

He adds, “After all, these are people who’ve dedicated their lives and careers to ensuring our public officials act with integrity and Joe Arpaio and

now the President of the United States have spit in the face of that.”

Bolton’s hearing will venture into uncharted territory,

a voyage necessitated by Trump’s utter disregard for the rule of law and his constitutional obligations to enforce the Constitution and laws of the United States.

which include running what he refers to as a concentration camp,

torturing his inmates,

forcing a woman to give birth in shackles, and

Former Obama Officials Just Took Decisive Legal Action Against Trump’s Arpaio Pardon

Protect Democracy (https://protectdemocracy.org/), a nonpartisan organization founded by former Obama administration attorneys, has charged that Trump’s pardon of former Maricopa County sheriff Joe Arpaio is unconstitutional. As such, the advocacy group has insisted that U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton refuse Arpaio’s request to vacate his conviction.

Protect Democracy claims in an amicus brief that

Trump’s pardon is not legal in that Arpaio was not simply convicted of a crime, but of violating the Constitution.

As such, were Trump to pardon someone guilty of violating the Constitution, he would be violating his own presidential obligation to uphold the Constitution.

“The Arpaio Pardon does not faithfully execute the law; it sends a signal that public officials,

so long as they are allies of the President, need not execute the law at all,” the brief reads.

“The President cannot use the pardon power to invite other public officials to violate people’s constitutional rights.”


Jeff Sessions’ Department of Justice had encouraged the court to dismiss the case, claiming,

“the government agrees that the Court should vacate all orders and dismiss the case as moot.”

The Trump Justice Department has declined Joe Arpaio’s request (https://www.politico.com/story/2019/01/02/sheriff-arpaio-pardon-1078243) for it to ask the Supreme Court to block an investigation into him

Politico reported Wednesday that Arpaio wanted the DOJ to intervene by asking the Supreme Court to block a special counsel investigation into his contempt of court conviction.

Though the former Maricopa County sheriff was pardoned by President Donald Trump (https://www.rawstory.com/2017/08/donald-trump-pardons-former-maricopa-county-sheriff-joe-arpaio/) while he was awaiting sentencing for the contempt of court conviction over his department’s profiling of Latinos,

Arpaio wants to essentially erase the charge entirely.
“The pardon appears to have wiped out any chance the 86-year-old will go to prison or face a fine in connection with the contempt charge,”

U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton, however, denied Arpaio’s request — and the DOJ, in turn, declined to “defend Bolton’s decision” when the ex-sheriff appealed it.

Conrad Black gets a pardon from DJT. Seems neither Black nor Trump are familiar with how pardons work:


“He could not have been more gracious and quickly got to his point, that he was granting me a full pardon, that would ‘expunge the bad rap you got,’”https://www.thestar.com/news/world/2019/05/15/donald-trump-issues-pardon-for-conrad-black.html

The Supreme Court ruled in United States v. Wilson (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Wilson) (1833) that a pardon could be rejected by the convict. In Burdick v. United States (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burdick_v._United_States) (1915), the court specifically said: "Circumstances may be made to bring innocence under the penalties of the law. If so brought, escape by confession of guilt implied in the acceptance of a pardon may be rejected, preferring to be the victim of the law rather than its acknowledged transgressor, preferring death even to such certain infamy." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_pardons_in_the_United_States

Joe Arpaio still running up the tab in Maricopa Co.

Violating rights under color of law can be very expensive.

CLAIM: Refused to investigate alleged child sex crimes
STATUS: Mostly true.

As the East Valley Tribune's Ryan Gabrielson reported in a Pulitzer Prize-winning article (https://web.archive.org/web/20100919203749/https://www.pulitzer.org/archives/8377) in 2008, Sheriff Arpaio's personal obsession with immigration enforcement sapped county resources and led to a sharp decline in criminal investigations and arrests. Many of the cases that fell by the wayside involved sex crimes. "By Arpaio’s own admission, the number of uninvestigated sex crime cases eventually swelled to more than 400," Gabrielson wrote (https://www.propublica.org/article/the-joe-arpaio-i-knew) in 2017. "Many of the victims were children."

According to law enforcement officials cited in a 2011 Associated Press report (https://www.deseretnews.com/article/700204073/Critics-say-tough-Arizona-sheriff-botched-sex-crime-cases.html), dozens of alleged child molestation cases in the county were inadequately investigated or "not worked at all":
