"Vice President Pence praised former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who was convicted of contempt of court, as a tireless champion of
the rule of law during an event in Arizona on Tuesday.
Pence said at the tax event that he was honored by the former sheriffs attendance, and called Arpaio a great friend of this president and tireless champion of strong borders and the rule of law, to cheers from the crowd.
President Trump last year pardoned Arpaio, a vocal supporter of his on the campaign trail, after he was convicted of contempt of court for refusing to stop racially profiling Hispanic people at traffic stops for immigration checks."

But I doubt it will play out that way.
