Federal Grand Jury in Maricopa County

In Phoenix, a fed­eral grand jury is report­edly look­ing into accu­sa­tions that Arpaio has abused his law enforce­ment power with crim­i­nal inves­ti­ga­tions of crit­ics and polit­i­cal foes (Nick Mar­tin, Heat City).

The nutjob semi­lit­er­ate pseuod­pa­triot sup­port­ers of Sher­iff Joe will no doubt see this as more evi­dence of a vast (Mex­i­can?) conspiracy—when you believe in a con­spir­acy, every­thing is evi­dence of the conspiracy.

    This is tremen­dous news. The Arpaio thing, not the post, which is use­ful and will be bookmarked.
