Donald Trump hints he might pardon Joe Arpaio at Phoenix rally


Source: CNN

Phoenix (CNN)President Donald Trump hinted Tuesday he could pardon Joe Arpaio, the controversial former Maricopa County sheriff, amid reports the President is planning to pardon him for his conviction on criminal contempt charges.

"Do the people in this room like Sheriff Joe?" he said to cheers at his Phoenix rally.

"So was Sheriff Joe convicted for doing his job? ... You know what, I'll make a prediction: I think he's going to be just fine, OK? But I won't do it tonight because I don't want to cause any controversy. But Sheriff Joe should feel good."

When asked on Air Force One earlier Tuesday about a would-be Arpaio pardon, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said no news would be made Tuesday.

I thought Huckabee said that no news would be made Tuesday. Yet, Trump brings up Arpaio.

Sheriff Joe was persecuted for doing what he was elected for.

Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

Minor adjustment, since DU-folk might not be able to understand:

Sheriff Joe was persecuted for doing what he was elected for, enforcing the law.

Sheriff Arpaio being convicted of "something" is one of Obama's trophy-"accomplishments", so of course the prospect of yet another Obamian "accomplishment" being undone by Trump POed DU-folk. Hey DU-folk! One way or another,
