The feds have made such deals with malcontent politicians in the past, but the Obama administration still, inexplicably, seems to fear making Arpaio a martyr. I don't see the feds acting any more than I see Santa Claus sliding down Arpaio's chimney with an indictment wrapped in a shiny red bow.
So the 400-plus sex-crime cases in El Mirage, the ganked $100 million, and the crimes committed by Arpaio and his underlings in Joe's witch hunts against his enemies are, in the end, just some of the many bullets that can be used against him.
But bullets are worthless without someone to pull the trigger.
What we need is a candidate who can take on Arpaio in a primary or general election in 2012 — and win.
Naysayers carp that Arpaio has $6 million in his election kitty. Well, that's what Arpaio tells us. The last time he had to report campaign finances to county elections officials, it was closer to $2.4 million.
In any case, having more money than your opponent didn't help Russell Pearce in Legislative District 18.
Backtrack for a moment to 2008. Though sheriff's candidate Dan Saban was a severely wounded opponent — he had little money and was all but ostracized by the Democratic Party that recruited him to run — he still pulled 42 percent of the vote. And he managed to get more actual votes than Democratic hopeful for county attorney Tim Nelson.
Nelson had the state and county party on his side and the endorsement of then-Governor Janet Napolitano, and yet he earned about 8,000 votes fewer than Saban.
I'm not suggesting that Saban reconsider and jump into this battle. It's just that there's an anybody-but-Arpaio vote in the county of about 42 percent.
Possible future Arpaio challengers out there — Scottsdale Lieutenant Mike Stauffer, the only official opponent so far, or ex-Phoenix Police Sergeant Paul Penzone, whose name is getting bandied about — fall into this category.
However, the person who's got the big money of both political parties waiting on the sidelines is U.S. Marshal for Arizona David Gonzales.
Gonzales, a Republican, was appointed under President George W. Bush, and was kept on by President Obama, a testament to his nonpartisan effectiveness as a law enforcement official.
Essentially, Gonzales' job on the federal level matches what the sheriff's should be on the county level: He manages the movement of prisoners, oversees inmate custody, hunts fugitives, serves warrants, protects the courts, and investigates wrongdoing.
Tough and educated, with a bachelor's degree from the University of Arizona and a career at the Arizona Department of Public Safety that included a stint as an undercover narcotics agent, he's an affable, experienced public servant whom only crazy GOPers can't get behind.
His problem is twofold — a Hispanic last name and a reputation as a moderate R who has been critical of Arpaio's counterproductive immigration sweeps. As the county Republican Party is currently run by insane Mexican-bashers like county chairman and Arpaio stalwart Rob Haney, observers so far have figured Gonzales stands no chance taking on Arpaio in a GOP primary.
I would counter that this political forecast did not anticipate the public's sudden antipathy for the sheriff's malfeasance when it comes to sex-crime cases. Nor had it bargained for a shift in attitudes over immigration, a shift that helped bring Pearce to his knees in ultra-conservative LD 18.
As for his surname and his ethnicity, there are Archie Bunkers aplenty who will not vote for him over Arpaio.
But he would be helped by Democrats, who will work for any Republican who has a chance of removing Arpaio. And there is a long list of GOPers who secretly loathe Arpaio and want to see the near-80-year-old go down.
A bonus for Gonzales would be Latinos' registering and organizing to vote en masse against Arpaio.
Particularly, if Gonzales decided to run in the general election as an Independent.
Gonzales hasn't commented on his political ambitions; the minute he announces any candidacy, he must resign his federal post.
If he does decide to oppose Arpaio, he'd have to run a brash campaign to win. And he'd have to fire all the bullets that Arpaio has left at the ready.
MAFIA MOLL
Here's a follow-up on last week's column on Phoenix attorney Carmen Fischer, recently kicked off the Arizona District Court's list of referral attorneys because of her marriage to Angel Garcia, a high-ranking member of the New Mexican Mafia.
The photo of Fischer, arm-in-arm with her beloved, was sent my way by an anonymous source. It was taken in 2010 at the federal prison known as "Big Sandy," in Inez, Kentucky. You may wish to note the tattoo of a double-M logo and the words "Mexican Mafia" written above and below it in cursive on Garcia's arm.
Last week, I wrote that the State Bar of Arizona has an outstanding complaint against Fischer. Though the Bar has declined to comment further, I have learned that the bar is scheduled to hold a probable-cause hearing on January 13 to address ethics charges against her.
Allegations include Fischer's representing Garcia and a defendant whose case butted heads with Garcia's. The Bar complaint also claims that Fischer gave one of her clients intelligence on police informants and that she advised this same individual of an FBI sting targeting him.
You people don't know how many cases were reported or ignored. Â You are buying into the liberal media and the lying criminal DOJ who's report was laughable. Â Did you ever think that maybe the cases weren't investigated because the criminals were illegal, and therefore had no name on record to pursue. Â They have no ties to anything, and most likely headed back to mexico. Look at the cases, or at least one or two. Â They were all committed by illegal alien men who's whereabouts are unknown.
You are all spewing propaganda BS fed to the media by the Justice Dept. which is fed to you.  What specific sex  sex crimes in El Mirage are you talking about?  Do you have any details at all, records, reports?  Nope.  You are just regurgitating BS.  And let's say they actually did exist, which they don't.  Did it ever occur to you people that the REASON they were not investigated is because the people involved were all ILLEGAL?  How do you look for a criminal who doesn't have an identity?  These people dont exist on record in this country, so they are free to commit crime after crime.  And if they do think they may get caught, they just head on back to Mexico.  That is the problem, and Arpaio didn't create it.Also, you may want to consider the fact that IF these cases existed and were overlooked, it could be because the Sheriff's Dept was too busy with other crimes?  And how many of those other crimes might have been committed by illegals?  So you fight like hell to have open borders, which brings in thousands of new criminals, which overloads the Sheriff's Dept, then have the nerve to bitch and complain when these criminals commit crimes?  And blame it on the Sheriff's Department who is overloaded because the borders are wide open.  How retarded is that.  That's like installing a high priced  security system with 24 hour emergency response in your home.  You invite some losers to stay with you for a few days, they rip you off blind, and you blame it on the Security System.   Libtards are so brainless.

@allanbartlett @chillbertaz Sorry, not a republican either.  If you had a clue, you would have realized by now that there is no difference.  They are all playing on the same team, and guess what, you aren't on it.  Neither are any of us.  This republican/democrat show is to divide us and make one side hate the other.  It's what they've been doing for years.  So is the whole open borders thing.  To divide the people. All that BS about congress fighting between the two sides and blaming things on each other side is an act.  Each and every one of them, especially the President, has one job.  And that's to carry out the agenda of the people who really call the shots, who are behind the scenes. And sell the agenda to the masses by whatever means they choose. These people are not elected, but they control everything.  Look at who runs Bilderberg, Trilateral, and the CFR, and you'll figure it out.  One of the main families actually started the League of Nations, now the UN, and fully controls the FDA, WHO, AMA, Cancer Society, Big Pharma, Big Oil, and most higher education research, thru grants from their foundations.  They are evil, most are high ranking Freemason, and they don't give a shit about this country or anyone in it.  Israel is a big part of it too.  They did 911 with the help of the US Government, and that can be proven. These people call all the shots and control every puppet in the US Govt.  Their job is to carry out the agenda and sell it to the public.  That's why they contradict themselves and lie all the time, and constantly blame each other for everything they do.  The agenda is so bad and so evil, they cannot possibly come up with a justification for it.  So they lie and blame each other because that's all they've got.  It's Broadway/Hollywood fake, and very easy to recognize, if you just pay attention. Look at it from that perspective, and you will start to see it for what it is. Because as long as idiots keep falling for the endless stream of bullshit, it will never end.   Homeland Security does not exist to protect us from terrorists or outside invasions..It's not there to keep us safe.  DHS is in place to keep the government safe from us, the people.  They know what they've done, especially 911.  And they know that if we ever find out, they are f*cked.  They've said it themselves many times...And they are correct.  If the people ever join together and realize who the enemy really is, they will go down.  But it won't happen very soon, because they have so many people brainwashed with their endless bullshit.  Look up once in awhile.  See what is being dumped into the air you breathe.  That alone tells you that all of them are bad, because if they weren't, they wouldn't allow that to take place.  It's not always what they do, it's what they DON'T do that is the most telling.

PS. Â I've never tasted a republican or an asshole, but you obviously have, but I wouldn't advise advertising it.

You do realize that this article suggests the DOJ react in the precise manner that they DID act a little over 2 weeks later? Coincidence? I think not. None of this is a coincidence.
I would say I am appalled but I am not surprised you are probably a part of the KKK and believe that only those who are of dark complexion are predators, CHILDREN being voilated is Far more important that wheather someone has the right to be in this Country and if you think other wise you need to see someone cause you have issues
Is this law Racist? Does it specify brown people?Are the people who agree with this law racist?Are those who want this law enforced racist?The law says nothing of little "brown" people but it explains what is illegal entry. It's not very hard to understand. Why is this law "broken"? Why can it be selectively ignored?Illegal alien includes all people who entered illegally, could be Croation, Russian, Chinese, Irish, Canadians and yes even Mexicans. No one single race or people is referenced in the law. Under Title 8 Section 1325 of the U.S. Code, "Improper Entry by Alien," any citizen of any country other than the United States who:Enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers; or Eludes examination or inspection by immigration officers; or Attempts to enter or obtains entry to the United States by a willfully false or misleading representation or the willful concealment of a material fact; has committed a federal crime.Violations are punishable by criminal fines and imprisonment for up to six months. Repeat offenses can bring up to two years in prison. Additional civil fines may be imposed at the discretion of immigration judges, but civil fines do not negate the criminal sanctions or nature of the offense.These people cost Pheonix and surrounding cities hundreds of millions to support the education, health and welfare of these illegal immigrants. A landscape worker paid by cash (no taxes) and his wife (a stay at home mom), have been here for 16 years and had 7 children born in the US. Who do you think paid for her medical bills???Why isn't Obwama dealing with this?We can not afford 4 more years of Obwama!!!When will Obwama end the illegal Mexican occupation of the United States of America?
Your discourse on illegal entry has little to do with Joe's activities unless you think he collects evidence on how people entered this country. Also, Joe seldom arrests people for being in the country without papers (civil misdemeanor) but uses the uniquely "conspires to smuggle" law or an identify theft (false SS#) charge because that bumps the arrest up to a felony and the arrestee is not allowed to post bail. Most then "voluntarily" sign deportation papers without having to go through due process for their arrest.
Joe does not mess with illegal entry.
In other words, the sheriff has to resort to extraordinary means to get around the corrosive lefiists and reconquistas that continually try to trap him. I agree.
While I agree with you that more people need to step up the fact remains that Joe Arapio has let slide 432 cases of sexual abuse assault and rape and this is with the perpatraor known, Perhaps if Joe was not so focused on the color of a persons skin he might actually do his job and leave the Federal work to those who are supposed to be doing it, It is our job to hold the federal and State government accountable for its inaction Not the job of an idiot who is too busy pumping hands with celebarties like Steven the Idiot Seagal than he is in taking care of the victims of crime.
@Xaria "432 cases...And this is with the perpetrator known"  Where do you get that info?  From the DOJ report?  No, they wouldn't lie, they are so upstanding and law abiding.  You haven't seen the cases and know nothing about them, and neither has the DOJ.  Even if the suspect was "named", the name is not in the system, there is no SSN, no DL, no nothing.  That is the problem with all this open borders crap.You people are pro open borders.  Which means that you are OK with having millions of people here that are a body and a name.  And the name could be what ever they want it to be since they do not have a SSN, DL, or anything to tie them to an identity.So when they come here and molest kids or commit any other crimes,  and disappear into the darkness without a trace you blame Arpaio?  You can't have it both ways.  If you support open borders then you are responsible for this and cannot complain about it.
Sherrif Joe is one of a few law enforcement individuals who understands a simple fact: "illegal immigrant" = an individual who is not in the United States legally. Being that the "illegal immigrant" has broken our (and Barrack Hussien Obwama's) Federal Immigration Laws and entered the United States through illegal means, he / she is subject to a crime and as such, he / she is subject to deportation. Is that difficult to understand?
Gwmwllc, Can you be a bigger idiot this is a man who blew 432 cases of abuse, RAPE and Child Molestation but he understands Illegal Immigrants, Yeah I can sleep better at night knowing that while my children are safe from Illegal immigrants they are not safe from Predators who want to steal their innocence. Perhaps if Joke Joe focused on Doing His Job and left the Federal Laws to the Feds there are some children out there who might have gotten Justice for what was done to them. You should be ashamed of your self supporting a Poser who is so consumed with sticking it to anyone who is Not White that he over looks the true victims of Crime!
I would say that if a parent of a child who was molested by an identified suspect, discovers that this suspect should have been investigated by MCSO previously, they should sue the county - and the sheriff personally. Maybe once the county is out of money, and has to borrow to pay fines, he can be exited.
Also, I think the county needs the sheriff's office to account for the $650,000 they got to add detectives for the investigation of these sexually related crimes.

Yes,but we still have an ongoing crimminal investigation.Things are not looking good for the JoKKKe of Maricopa County & that in itself is reason enough to celebrate.
who's gonna make him pay the 50 millions he owes Arizona, who' gonna get justice for all those children not our little hitler, he couldn't careless as long as his picture is in the news, and closes up all the little mexican restaurants,oh boy, that makes him a big man, hopefully people in Az are starting to see through hi BS, high time, and good ridance.
@danielles  When Obama pays back the trillions he stole from us.  That doesn't seem to bother anyone though does it?  Not to mention his numerous acts of high treason, and pretty much every other felony on the books.  In fact, the federal govt. owes Arizona billions for incarcerating all these illegals for so many years.  Where's the uproar on that one?
I don't know what joe owes 50 million for, but if the federal government would stop suing the state of Arizona, that might cut down on the expenses. Â And do you have any idea how much per year it cost to educate these illegals, feed these illegals, and provide them with FREE healthcare in our ERs whenever they feel the whim to saunter in for a stuffy nose? Â You guys are a joke. Â
Rather than worrying about Arpaio, people need to concentrate on what's going on today, right here in front of our faces. Â The UN Agenda 21 is in full gear. Â If you haven't noticed, since 2008 they have been dumping bio toxins into our skies. Â This past week has been the worst. Â People are dropping dead from this shit, and people are too stupid to look up. Â Today was the absolute worst. Â The air you are breathing contains Quantum Dots, Nanofibers, Aluminum, Cadmium, Strontium, Barium, and red blood cells. Â It's not a theory, I have worked for the DOD since 1985. Â It is in full swing, and if you didn't notice it today, you are hopeless. Â The illuminati is real, the UN was just given full control over the internet last week in Dubai, they want 2/3 of the population dead, and the shit is hitting fan real soon. Â If we don't come together real quick, we will be dead. Â Don't laugh, research it a little bit. Â I am not a wack job, I am a scientist, and I went to Harvard just like the rest of those nimrod idiots. Â Gov. Brewer and every other politician has been bribed and/or threatened, and they are allowing this. Â They have been promised sanctuary, and they all are gearing up for it. Â Look out side and look up every day. Â It's beyond evil, and it's real.
It might help if the majority of the crimes in Arizona were not because of illegal mexicans....food for thought.

Lmao there is ONE guy in our government that actually does things that he promises along with also putting all the idiots in "office" ignorance out in the open. FACT all these people are SCARED because he is actually doing his job, meanwhile they all sit in their mansions pretending to "debate" over nothing. Funny this article states "while he has done all this, it doesn't make us ignore ONE issue he hasn't covered" yet name one person in office that has yet to do anything? We have all these major issues, and instead they focus on stupid crap and let it get worse. More of them need to step up like Sheriff Joe, maybe if they did they wouldn't be so scared of him....He has haters because he follows through, anyone that simply follows the rules has nothing against him. Then again that won't happen because only liars, thieves, and people that will listen to the group without any questions make it into office.
What a waste of air. You are a fucking moron and the fact that you support child molestation going unpunished because of Sheriff Joe means you should rot in hell with him. Joe deserves criminal charges for this dereliction of duty.

Don't resign Big Joe. We all need to pull together to stem this liberal tide of ignorance.
I tell you what, if Joe doesn't resign, then he will be ousted from the penthouse suite at the Wells Fargo through a GJ indictment from the USAO.

@Jason Well, we already have one of those, and he's not a better president than anyone.  No insult to real monkeys.  I love monkeys.
BaconSMELLS is being ironic and a bit sarcastic, Jason... the joke is that the Sheriff allowed reports of sexual abuse against children were not properly investigated or investigated at all, and because of this NAMBLA (North American Man Boy Love Association), a group of twisted people known as pedophiles who want pedophilia to be legally recognized in the USA, would support him for a presidential run. The problem here is that many of the commenters, including you, get so worked up by other people's comments that you forget there are a few comments that are posted to lighten the mood. That aside, when any member of law enforcement does not act according to law, they are no longer a member of law enforcement, rather a criminal (can anyone argue that someone who does not act in accordance with the law is a criminal? I mean, that is the definition pretty much. Some may say that the Sheriff had no business helping people who may have been here illegally or because certain rights should not pertain to people who are not citizens of the USA, but to those people I ask you, 'should the sheriff not help tourists either because they may be from another country?' There are certain humanitarian rights that are put into place, and these rights must be respected by law for everyone on the soil of this country. If a right can be revoked, then it was never a right to begin with, but a priveledge. Getting back to Arpaio, the man will be dead soon enough as he is nearly 80. I hope he croaks in a manor in which countless illegal migrants have died, alone, starving, dehydrated, scared, and with a very powerful sense of being unwelcome. The sad thing is that such a terrible fate is worth the risk for so many who have to dodge bullets and suffer extortion and the kidnapping and murder of family. How many of you anti-immigration commenters ever gave thought to the idea that the solution to stopping illegal immigration isn't about bragging about how amazing your country is compared to the countries of many of the illegal immigrants, then treating them like shit for wanting the same thing. If anyone really wants to be serious about stopping illegal immigration, the answer is to help make Mexico and other countries better places to live so people don't feel the need to escape to the USA. The whole nationalist pride thing is for one thing a very dangerous concept (anyone who knows their history knows this to be true) and using this pride as a weapon against people from other countries to feel better about yourself only serves to worsen the illegal immigration situation. Personally, I have never had a problem with any illegal immigrants and none have ever tried to cross me (and I live close enough to the AZ-Mexico Border). Remember, the harder you push against something, the harder it will push back.

As for this "lawyer," I think she needs to check herself into a mental institution ASAP. I mean, dating and having sex with an incarcerated killer while representing him in court? I smell a conflict of interest.
I dont actually know if you can't do that, but I am not a lawyer so.. I wouldn't have a clue. IT sounds like they are pissed cause she warned them about people watching them that were undercover. I don't know if that is illegal or not either. A lawyer's job is to protect their clients interests. I don't know if what she did is bad or not. Who she choose to marry is a different question altogether.
Do you really believe the story about BS assassination attempt of Terry "Tissue" Stewart? Terry Tissue was more worried about the husband of the woman he was screwing than he was of the EME. It's all BS just like the Mexicans wanting to kill Sheriff "Nickel Bag Joe" Arpaio and Sheriff Paul "Pablo Baboso" Babeu.
