Andrew Thomas Disbarred

I think a couple of his assistants were on the block as well. I'd think it wouldn't bode well for Arpaio at this point. One more nail.
 
Reading it now. The guy sounds like a real piece of ****. Glad he is out of power. I hope Arapio is soon to follow. If they don't end up in jail, I predict at least one of them will land a gig on Fox News and/or make the rounds to the conservative news shows and complain about being "persecuted" by "biased liberals" in "big government".

He prosecuted a 16-year-old for showing Playboy to his classmates. That's just amazing.
 
Everyone in Tucson is pleased to see the first major threads of the Arpiao/Thomas relationship unravel.

Stay out of Maricopa county! (phoenix and its many tentacles)

The huge tracts of land and cities that surround that hell hole are wonderful places to visit.
 
Good riddance.

I'm of the opinion that 'ol Sheriff Joe has plenty to worry about - he might be saying "Good Morning" to a judge fron the wrong side of the courtroom.

He needs some underwear and baloney sandwiches.
 
Well the positive out of the situation - the system corrected an issue. Cold comfort for some of those less worthy convictions I know, but still these people will all be brought to pay the piper
 
As always, with cases like this one, it is hard to find a favorite part.

I think I am going to go with:

When Sheriff Joe convinced Thomas's office to investigate an alternative weekly paper, the original subpoena asked for the names of every person who visited the newspaper's website in the past three years and a list of websites these visitors were on just before they went to the newspaper's website.

I know for a fact that that would have included JREF.

I hope the article also mentions how sheriff's deputies arrested the New Times editors and reporters at their homes in the middle of the night for publishing Arpaio's home address. That's another one for the Arpaio's greatest hits album.
 
My favorite part -
Meanwhile, the threat of even greater prosecutorial power sat, literally, as a backdrop in the courtroom. While Thomas faces the professional equivalent of the death penalty, the disbarment case is widely viewed as a trial run for bigger things in federal criminal court.

A federal grand jury is more than three years into an investigation of far-reaching allegations of abuse of power and corruption against Thomas, Arpaio and a host of their associates and underlings. Any eventual charges likely would concern civil rights violations, criminal racketeering or both. And FBI agents occasionally attended the Thomas hearings—

Arapaio makes the LAPD look good in comparasion. I can say nothing worse about a corrupt Law Enforcement figure.
It says something that a lot of people (like me) who are usually strong supporters of the police want this moron out of office as quickly as possible.

Of course that part of Arizona has always had some interesting types in Law Enforcement........
