Top U.S. cop says Arpaio probe serious, ongoing

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder says an investigation into Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is serious and ongoing.

Holder said he expects the probe conducted by Justice Department's civil rights division and the Arizona U.S. attorney's office "will produce results." Holder made the remarks during a visit to Phoenix to attend a mortgage fraud task force meeting on Thursday.

Several Maricopa County employees have been called before a federal grand jury that's examining abuse-of-power allegations against Arpaio and a second federal investigation that Arpaio has said focuses on his immigration enforcement.

Holder didn't reveal any details of the probe, citing the ongoing investigation.

Some of the comments:

"His approval rating dropped 25 points in two years. It's not illegals and liberals that are waking up. It's anyone with a higher IQ than a grapefruit."

"Heard on the 6th floor of FBI Headquarters: JOE IS GOING TO JAIL. JOE IS GOING TO JAIL. JOE IS GOING TO JAIL. JOE IS GOING TO JAIL. JOE IS GOING TO JAIL. JOE IS GOING TO JAIL. JOE IS GOING TO JAIL. JOE IS GOING TO JAIL. JOE IS GOING TO JAIL. JOE IS GOING TO JAIL. JOE IS GOING TO JAIL. JOE IS GOING TO JAIL. JOE IS GOING TO JAIL. JOE IS GOING TO JAIL. JOE IS GOING TO JAIL. JOE IS GOING TO JAIL. JOE IS GOING TO JAIL. JOE IS GOING TO JAIL. JOE IS GOING TO JAIL. JOE IS GOING TO JAIL. JOE IS GOING TO JAIL. JOE IS GOING TO JAIL. JOE IS GOING TO JAIL. JOE IS GOING TO JAIL. JOE IS GOING TO JAIL. JOE IS GOING TO JAIL. JOE IS GOING TO JAIL. JOE IS GOING TO JAIL.
NUF SAID!"

"I don't think that a person needs to be pro-illegal immigration to have ample reason to want Joe out of power and safely behind bars. The politically motivated prosecutions of Joe Arizona, Dan Saban, the county BOS, and any judge he feels like have been enough for me. Every political foe he has ever faced has tasted the power of his office. It is patently absurd to think that every single one of these people is a thug and that Joe was right. Heck, how many of them have already been vindicated? That simply isn't right. Let's reform immigration law and tighten enforcement with a sane, competent, and honest sheriff in office. "

These were early comments, later the racists started in and it got really depressing - just when I'd started to hope Arizonans weren't total morans.

2. Definitely not (all morons).

I think people are getting tired of Old Joe's antics, especially when the media is starting to report the cost of his feuds with other agencies.
