Hmmm, so I guess you missed his clear indication earlier in the week (and before) that he was going to do just what he did?
As for "flagrant abuse of power", I guess you and others missed all the pardons/actions from the last few administrations who pardoned crooks,drug dealers and tax cheats (large donors to their coffers).

Selective outrage always makes me laugh...

WOW . . . CHARACTER ASSASSINATION at its finest.

Without a doubt, this country would be a much BETTER and SAFER PLACE to live if we only had more Sheriff Joes rather than the gaggle of "Vote Prostitutes" we now have.

I would much rather see Sheriff Joe being pardoned versus some of the THUGS and COMMON CRIMINALS that were pardoned during the Obama and Clinton Administrations.

How quickly you guys forget.

No wonder he's a friend of 45. Two malignant narcissists with sadistic tendencies.

Joe did a heck of a lot more bad things than he got convicted for.. trumped up charges against supervisors, arresting judges & journalists without evidence, so bad that his friendly attorney got disbarred for doing his bidding . (how often do attorneys get disbarred? ).."Mis spending" a *hundred* million dollars (lol, oooops!). not sure how anyone could read the news so selectively as to miss the many crimes that joe committed while in office..


how much is he paying you to defend him?

What a jerk this guy is, but he had it right on illegal immigration.

I love all the feign outrage about Arpaio being pardoned. Obama pardoned more people then any other president and I must of missed all that outrage. Hell Clinton pardoned Marc Rich but OMFG Sheriff Joe was pardoned this proves Trump is literally Hitler. I guess he should of waited until right before he leaves office to pardon people to try to hide who is pardoned. The left is circling the drain and needs to be flushed. They must not know presidents have the power to pardon so it isn't an abuse of power since it's part of the power of the presidency.
