In a separate development that emerged during direct questioning by U.S. Judge Murray Snow, Arpaio said he was connected with two investigations involving the judge and the judge’s wife.

In the first, Arpaio told Snow, he had been tipped off that the U.S. Department of Justice was bugging telephones belonging to people including himself, his lawyers, Snow, and other judges.

Arpaio said he sent detectives from his office to meet with a confidential informant in Washington state to investigate further, but that it was concluded that the information could not be confirmed.

In the second, Arpaio said, one of his attorneys had hired a private detective to check out a tip Arpaio said he received that Snow’s wife was overheard saying in a restaurant she would do everything she could to stop Arpaio being re-elected.

7. No doubt this Moran is one of those "Tenth Amendment / Constitutional Sheriff" idiots....

They believe the local county sheriff has the ultimate authority to throw the federal government off "their" land.

Not much of a leap to believe Arpaio probably also feels he's above the court system too.

We need to make an example of this asshole. Otherwise we'll have someone pop up in the near future who makes Arpaio look like Andy Taylor by comparison.

8. Questioning by US judge puts Arizona sheriff in tough spot

Questioning by US judge puts Arizona sheriff in tough spot

PHOENIX (AP) — An Arizona lawman who calls himself "America's Toughest Sheriff" has been put in a tough spot by a federal judge who could hold him in contempt for violating orders in a racial profiling case.

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio acknowledged under oath Thursday that his office was behind a secret investigation of the judge's wife.

The bravado the sheriff is known for displaying on TV and at political events was missing during the testimony before U.S. District Judge Murray Snow, who ordered Arpaio in December 2011 to halt his signature immigration patrols.

Arpaio has acknowledged violating the judge's orders.

"Are you aware that I've been investigated by anyone?" the judge asked him Thursday.
