Top Republican Paul Ryan condemns Joe Arpaio pardon
"Law enforcement officials have a special responsibility to respect the rights of everyone in the United States.
We should not allow anyone to believe that responsibility is diminished by this pardon,"
his spokesman said in a statement.

No, and the DOJ knows that. That's why 45 bypassed Sessions' DOJ to pardon Arpaio.

If Sessions does what the President tells him, he should resign because he's no longer United States Attorney General but Trump's attorney.

It is said he consulted Sessions about dropping the case. Isn't that a violation like tampering with a witness like the mafia did. Feel me!

Sessions must resign if he is not the chief of his own Department. DOJ does not report to Trump. The US Gov't is not a family business.

Trump Just Retweeted A False Story About President Obama To Defend His Pardon Of Sheriff Arpaio
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 “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 — not from America’s enemies but our allies.Find Out More >López 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.

That's only good news for Flake....and gives the democrats a semblance of a chance. The more republicans running the better.
Joe is an idiot though. He's hated in his own state.

Noah Feldman, a professor at Harvard Law School, argued last week that, because
“the only legally binding check on law enforcement is
the authority of the judiciary to say what the law is,”
a President who blocks the courts from sanctioning a sheriff who intentionally defies the law “is breaking the basic structure of the legal order.”

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 that they bring contempt charges.
Snow found that Arpaio willfully violated his order which prohibited Arpaio’s department from uncons utionally 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 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)"
