Taxpayers have been footing the legal bills of former Sheriff Joe Arpaio for more than 20 years.
He doesnt want us to stop.
In an email blast reaching what Id guess to be thousands of individuals (one wound up in my computers clutter bin), the sheriff is begging us for more cash.
Asking for money now? Ugh, the nerve
The ink wasnt even dry on his presidential pardon when Arpaio or the guy soliciting money on his behalf wrote in part:
While I am humbled and incredibly grateful for this very good news, I can't help but be concerned about a bit of bad news I received recently. I am still facing tens of thousands in legal bills from my fight to clear my name
Remember Friend, I am just a retired local law enforcement officer. The only reason you now my name is because the liberal media decided to launch a national campaign to paint me as a monster for my hard belief in upholding the Constitution and against illegal immigration . . .
Then he asks for money.
Nerve.
He violated a legal court order, committing a crime that was also a violation of his oath of office. And Trump, violating his oath, pardoned him.
Ive covered Arpaio since he was first elected in 1992.
It took decades to wake people up

(10,005 posts)I did read that since he accepted the pardon, he is accepting his guilt & therefore can face civil suits.
I sure hope that is right, anyone know?
Could be worse than an orange jumpsuit, oh, he prefers pink.
