Sheriff Joe Arpaio renews birther claims about Obama's birth certificate
USA Today Network Megan Cassidy, The Arizona Republic 9:05 a.m. EST December 16, 2016


"At 4 p.m. sharp, Arpaio and a member of his Sheriff's Office's Cold Case Posse had a big message for the 40-odd journalists in attendance: You were wrong.

Arpaio and his aides announced that a five-year investigation had "proved" that Obama’s birth certificate from Hawaii in 1961 was a fake. An accompanying presentation highlighted what they called “9 points of forgery” on the document, which focused on the angles of date stamps, typed letters and words."

That's pretty much the same story they had on the 9:00 News.

Probably some kind of retaliation for his impending federal case..... or who knows, maybe trying to show his skills are still sharp for an open cabinet position

1) It seems to be sore loser season?
2) Lashing out at head of party who beat him (Obama)?
3) Lashing out at boss of DOJ (Obama)?
4) Hoping to get Trump's attention?
5) He says that he is closing the investigation?

He probably would if people (including media) would ignore him...

Some people just know how to manipulate society... And some in society always take the bait...

What a waste of county tax money, investigating an outgoing president's birth certificate while numerous sex crimes go unresolved.

Nickelbag Joe is a clown and he lost the election because he's more involved in his personal political agenda and being in the media spotlight than doing his job as sheriff.

Here's an idea, let's waste resources on investigating Arpaio's birth certificate and purposely find inconsistencies in it so we can make a national spectacle out of it like he has done. Wouldn't that be fun?

It would only work if there were enough stupid people to care...

You see, it's not the idiot that creates the problems - its the dummies that perpetuate them that we need to address... Individuals don't have the power or ability to create such conflict and attention - without other individuals' participation...

Ignore and it will go away. Yes, in this instance its true. But most people refuse to give up their drama... So Arpaio will be the flavor of the month until a new shiny object is dangled... TMZ has created an empire from the phenomenon (that we might as well call social stupidity).

Since obama has been caught in so many many lies over the last 8 years Sheriff Joe is probably right, maybe Trump will leak more of obama's and clintons checkered past once he is in office as POTUS
We can only hope"

Too bad he couldn't just go away quietly. On that note, I can't help but wonder how much of our tax dollars are going to have to be spent removing his name from all the doors, signs, vehicles and whatnot that he plastered it on. I hope Penzone just removes it and doesn't replace all the self aggrandizement with his own name. It's really not necessary in most places.
Amazing, isn't it? Too bad that some of Arpaio's budget couldn't have gone for psychotherapy.

With his name, I'm assuming he probably is from an Italian immigrants at some point in his background. I wonder if he's acting out some deep childhood issues.

You are totally clueless on this....why would you feel the need to lie about something that you have zero knowledge of.....in your own words wouldn't that make you just as bad as what you are accusing Joe of???

Joe was never going to be given a cabinet job.....it was never suggested, never mentioned, not once discussed....but go ahead and live your unicorn world.....

If he wants to continue to work he will have a job working for Trump......he will be at the inauguration with Trump so your misdirected rant of Trump abandoning him was again wrong as well.
