Notice how non-committal Sheriff Joe was? He bent over backwards to not point a finger at Obama.
Why do you think Sheriff Joe refused to conduct an official investigation from the get go?
Ummmm...well, I'll take a guess and say...maybe because he wanted to see what a preliminary investigation would uncover.
It doesn't make sense to spend taxpayer dollars if you don't have to, does it?
Why don't you ask Sheriff Joe? Here is his phone number...again...Sheriff Arpaio: (602) 876-1801.
That way you don't have to ask people that you obviously have no respect for to opine on the issue.
Or, perhaps, he thought that the results of his informal investigation would bestir those sitting on their backsides in whited sepulcher halls into actually do their job.
