Question about this Sheriff Arpaio 'investigation'...

First who funded this investigation? Did he use public money (sheriff's dept)? Did he do it while he was on the clock? If so who authorized the use?

Second, I didn't think elected officials were supposed to be 'political' at least not to this extent.

Didn't a cop get in trouble for being at a McCain rally in uniform and dissing then candidate Obama?

I'm confused how this works.

the original document. Second, he did not compare the white house release to the original. He did rely on "evidence" from sworn birthers that has already been debunked.

This man is grandstanding. he is famous for launching highly visible "invistigations" into his political enemies. Especially areound electiontime. He is a fool and now a laughingstock.

This is a lawman? really?

so called investigation was nothing more than him regurgitating shit that's on the inter-tubes? He didn't hire private investigators, or experts, or even take his sorry ass to Hawaii?

So basically nothing new? The same shit that was said after Prez O released the long form?

And he got tv time? No wonder this country is so dumb.
