Last month, Joe Arpaio was convicted by a federal judge of CRIMINAL CONTEMPT.
He had been issued a court order to stop traffic patrols that the court alleged were designed to target illegal immigrants. Arpaio said the traffic patrols were not aimed at Hispanics and that he had done nothing wrong in continuing them. The only person being targeted was Sheriff Arpaio and President Trump was RIGHT to pardon him.
This video is worth your undivided attention. In it, President Trump lists some of the murderers and traitors who were pardoned by two of his Democrat predecessors.
