The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating the Maricopa County Sheriff's Department over allegations of discriminatory practices and unconstitutional searches and seizures....

In February, four Democratic members of the House Judiciary Committee asked Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Attorney General Eric Holder to investigate possible civil rights violations based on complaints that Arpaio's deputies are targeting people based on their skin color during neighborhood crime sweeps and raids at work sites....

Reno returns. Hope Arpaio doesn't live in a compound. Democrats aren't so good at killing foreign enemies, but they kick_ss on internal ones.

Total witch hunt.

They only thing they hate worse than the law, is people who enforce it.

and of course they won’t need any evidence and they probably came up with a conclusion and are trying to make the ‘evidence’ fit.

“Napolitano is Obama’s Janet Reno. I can’t decide which one is hotter /sarc.”

Janet, hands down.

"Today, Mary Rose Wilcox, who serves on the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, was scheduled to appear before Congress with a petition signed by more than 35,000 people from around the nation calling for a Justice Department investigation into Arpaio's office."

But the 327,000 signatures demanding to see the Obama birth certificate goes unnoticed.

Napalitano? The one who looks the other way when children are kidnapped? The one with a slave-market in her hometown?

The nuts in ACORN are openly behind this. They're empowered by Obama.

He should arrest the “probers” and put them in one of his pink tents.

This will ensure his re-election. The man is extremely popular. The only folks that hate him are criminals, Democrats, Liberals, and ILLEGAL aliens.

Took longer than I thought - after Obama took power, this was only a matter of time.

I absolutely believe that Sheriff Joe discriminates against people.

He discriminates against criminals.

If criminality often goes hand in hand with certain ethnicities and/or skin colors in his jurisdiction, that’s hardly his fault.

Arpaio was interviewed on Fox yesterday. He mentioned that some Congress critters, all of them democrats, are down there starting this.

He personally says the Obama admin is behind it all. He says he will continue to do what he does and they can get s-——.

Plucky guy there.

Finding out that Mary Rose Wilcox is involved is no surprise. She’s been after Joe for YEARS, and now she has similar-minded people in power. Joe has a very good track record against lawsuits filed against him. Our county attorney says he’s “looking forward” to working with the Justice Department about this. He and Sheriff Joe work in tandem to hold back the insanity around here.

Holder, Hussein, and their Fascist, left-wing ilk want to use Gestapo tactics against any and all they disagree with. They will likely use all agnecies/departments to quash all opposition.

If the “justice” dept wants him, they will get him. If a policeman falls in behind you on the street and follows for a while, you will do something to allow him to pull you over.

The “justice” dept has unlimited funds, infinite patience, and evil at the helm.

Didn’t Arpaio support Nappy for governor in 2006?
