During Donald Trump’s campaign, Joe Arpaio joked about how much the two had in common. In the end the president prized loyalty over legal procedure

Legal Procedure?

 

Are you kidding me?

Arpaio was charged under Obummer's justice department for doing what was within the framework of the law - deporting illegal immigrants.  But to avoid allowing him a fair trial - they charged him under a different statute, didn't allow a jury trial and the judge and justice department colluded to railroad him into prison!!!

 

A pardon is the least that Trump could have done - once he learned of it!!  That's right ... his Obummer holdovers are doing everything they can to limit what the President finds out.
