Let me add, too, that the USSC has ruled numerous times that criminal investigators can lie and mislead subjects who are under investigation for criminal activity.

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that criminal investigators can lie under oath in court? I must have been sleeping the day we covered that in law school. Perhaps you can supply me with the cases that say that.

LOL! The USSC also hasn’t ruled that shooting a one-legged pirate dancing on a piano in a honkey-tonk is illegal.

Sheriff Joe did not investigate Judge Snow. Judge Snow’s wife saw a childhood friend at a restaurant where she said in front of witnesses that her husband couldn’t stand Arpaio and wanted to get him out of office. A private investigator for Joe only talked to the lady who reported what Snow’s wife said to see if she was credible. At that point they learned the witness, her son and her husband all heard the conversation and could verify it’s veracity.

Imagine being a defendant in a case where the judge’s wife has said the judge wants to take you down! That was investigating a claim left by someone on Arpaio’s website—not investigating the judge. Arpaio is in a case having to do with checking illegals id’s and the judge goes off on a totally unrelated tangent acting like a prosecutor. It went downhill from there. I actually read most of transcripts from this case. I don’t remember the judge ruling for the defendants once. If the plaintiffs had an objection or wanted something he always ruled for them. His brother in law and former employee worked for groups involved with this total miscarriage of justice.

The huge problem for Sheriff Arpaio is that he admitted that he had violated the court’s orders which set the grounds for the finding of civil contempt.
However those admissions of guilt may mitigate the penalties that the judge might impose.

From the Arizona Republic: “Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has admitted he violated several federal court orders resulting from a long-running racial-profiling suit, a confession that comes a month before he was scheduled to respond to allegations of contempt.

In a Wednesday filing, attorneys for Arpaio and Chief Deputy Jerry Sheridan consented to a finding of civil contempt and said it was unnecessary to go forward with a contempt hearing scheduled for April 21-24.

Attorneys representing the Sheriff’s Office suggested that possible remedies might include Arpaio admitting violations of the court’s orders in a “public forum” and requesting a compensation fund footed by Maricopa County taxpayers.

“Defendants acknowledge and appreciate that they have violated the Court’s orders and that there are consequences for these violations,” the statement reads.”
