Donald Trump betrayed Sheriff Joe Arpaio after Arpaio lost his seat for endorsing and supporting Trump early in the GOP primary. Now Arpaio is left to face the music for standing up to illegal aliens alone and Trump has left him on the sidelines because Trump prefers pro Amnesty minions like John Kelly that have not scruples about violating laws and the Constitution.

Sheriff Arpaio Found Guilty by Clinton-Appointed Judge in Jury-Less Trial – Faces Six Months in Jail

Bill Clinton-appointed U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton, slammed Arpaio with a guilty ruling after leftist groups spent nearly a decade attacking him with legally over his aggressive policies against illegal aliens.
Arpaio is 85 years old and now faces up to six months in jail while illegal aliens roam free. Absolutely disgusting.
Breitbart News reported:
The charges against Arpaio stem from a civil rights suit demanding he cease “racial profiling” in his Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office’s immigration enforcement operations. After a federal judge issued an order demanding certain practices, Arpaio was charged with contempt for continuing to try to enforce the law as he saw fit.
Because Arpaio was charged only with a misdemeanor punishable by a maximum of six-months in jail, the U.S. Constitution does not guarantee him a right to trial by a jury of his peers. Arpaio and his attorneys repeatedly petitioned for a jury, only to be denied by Judge Bolton in March and again in May. Sources familiar with the proceedings have told Breitbart News the decision to charge only the misdemeanor was likely a ploy by federal prosecutors to avoid a jury trial in the community where Arpaio served as sheriff for more than 20 years
National Center for Police Defense (NCPD) President James Fotis, who was present in the courtroom, was highly skeptical a Phoenix jury could have ever found Arpaio guilty. He told Breitbart News:
I sat through three days of testimony and it was clear from the beginning that the DOJ had no evidence to make their case. In fact, all of the DOJ’s witnesses made it clear that Judge Snow’s order was unclear and ambiguous. There is no way a jury would have determined that the Sheriff willfully and intentionally violated the judge’s order.
The DOJ was run by none other than the LIAR Loretta Lynch when they decided to go after Arpaio with criminal charges. This is just more fallout from an 8 year crime spree during the Obama administration.
Sheriff Arpaio and his legal team will be filing an appeal to fight his conviction.
The Left either wants us dead or in jail. They will not stop attacking the Trump administration or conservatives until they get blood.
Meanwhile Hillary, Comey, Obama, Susan Rice, Loretta Lynch, Holder et al are freely walking around.

This is very sad. They have been after Sheriff Joe for 20 years probably. These people, entities, who are intent on destroying this country, don't give up - they have been doing it for a very long time and it has become their religion - practiced faithfully, daily, and without honor.
It's really time we admit to ourselves if anything gets changed we are going to have to do it. We are going to have to practice our beliefs - with honor, of course.
We can get involved or get educated about our local, state and federal politicians. A lot of dirty things are being done on a local level, even in small towns.
We can also take definite actions with our monies. If we take time to become aware of the practices of the companies and people we do business with and use our monies with those who are not doing things detrimental to our country, we can make a difference.
It would take some effort, yes, but over time, it would become a habit. I'm sure a lot of us already make such a decision about some companies, but we need to include more of them.
Also, we could inform each other. A company might not employ illegals in one part of the country, but do any other parts of the country.
It amazed me when corporate spokesmen came out in favor of one politician or another - well, let's face it against Pres. Trump. Those people, in essence, were thumbing their noses at those who were not on the same political page. It was saying those who don't agree, don't matter. They were taking for granted we would simply continue purchasing their products while they insult us.
Why in the world would a company do that?
We must make us and our beliefs relevant to them, as well as curing some of the ills of this country.
If we withhold our monies from people we feel are detrimental to the country, we will make a difference - and probably save some money.
I was a big Starbuck's fan - haven't missed it.
I have been hearing about a bill to make it illegal to boycott Israeli companies. That is frightening on it's own, but imagine how it could be applied to stop any kind of action against companies. We do know our government(s) are very creative in applying laws. They can stretch them farther than red rubber on a bean flip.
