"The U.S. Attorney's Office and its investigators recognized what Sheriff's Office has said all along: we did not make any prosecutorial decisions, even through things were referred to the then-county attorney," MacIntyre said. "The sheriff and the Sheriff's Office commend the U.S. Attorney's office for having the honesty, the integrity and the strength of character to make the statement that they do today: clearing this office and dispelling the shadow that's been lingering over it for over three years."​

I guess if you're really into police states and human suffering that might be true. If that's your thing.

Joe Arpaio, born and bred in the U.S.A.

Federal authorities announced late Friday they were dropping the four-year criminal investigation into Arizona’s Sheriff Joe Arpaio and would not be pressing abuse of power charges against him.

The announcement came just ahead of a long holiday weekend. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Arizona made the disclosure through a three-sentence press release. An auto-response email from the office’s spokesman said no one would answer questions about the decision. An outgoing message on the spokesman’s cell phone said the same thing.

Arpaio’s office said he had no immediate comment but planned to hold a news conference at 10:30 p.m., Eastern time.

Arizona resident here. I haven't been assaulted by Obama. Neither has Arpaio.

Perhaps we have a different definition of the word "assault".

LOL ... who saw that coming?

It kinda begs the question of why shut down the investigation ... much less publicly announce it prior to election time?

The only conclusion I can come to is that they had to shut it down. I suspect there's more to this story ... perhaps much more. Maybe we'll get the rest of the story after the November election.

Maybe Arpaio really has something on Obama

I was thinking more along the lines of another whistle blower in the justice department, but who knows?

Whistle blowers in the justice department seem to be a fine American tradition.

From the article:

Scheel wrote that the agency was mindful that a disciplinary panel had concluded Thomas, Aubuchon, Hendershott and Arpaio conspired in a criminal manner to violate Donahoe's civil rights.

"However, our obligation is different from the State Bar disciplinary panel, under its rules and burdens of proof, has reached certain conclusions about the conduct of Thomas and Aubuchon," she wrote. "We must weigh the evidence and law under the far heavier burden associated with criminal prosecution. Based on this review, we have concluded that allegations of criminal misconduct under federal statutes are not prosecutable."

She wrote it was "not enough to show that Judge Donahoe was subjected to conduct that was abusive or even unconstitutional. While Judge Donahoe suffered severe turmoil resulting from the criminal charges, as evidenced by the record in the Bar proceedings, we don't believe there is sufficient evidence to meet our burden that he suffered the sort of complete job depreciation contemplated by existing precedent."

IOW, he's crooked, but not crooked enough for the feds to be able to do anything about.
