FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt poked fun at Arpaio on twitter, providing
what he described as a link to a video feed of the press conference that
instead directed readers to the opening credits of the X-Files, a show about
paranormal activity.
Arpaio, a conservative Republican who styles himself as “America’s
toughest sheriff,” called for the U.S. Congress to investigate his
findings, which concluded that forgers committed two crimes, first in
creating a fraudulent document and then in fraudulently presenting it to the
public.
“I want to make this perfectly clear. I am not accusing the sitting
president of the United States of committing a crime. But there remain a lot
of questions which beg for answers and we intend to move forward with this
investigation in pursuit of those answers,” Arpaio said.
The sheriff’s office presented six videos which it said raised doubts about
the authenticity of the date stamp on Obama’s birth certificate and
Selective Service Registration Card, among other issues.
Arpaio’s accusations come as he is under investigation by the Justice
Department over what it says is his widespread discrimination against
Latinos.
In December, the Justice Department said Arpaio and his deputies violated U.S.
civil rights laws by engaging in racial profiling of Latinos and making
unlawful arrests in their bid to crack down on illegal immigrants.
It found Arpaio’s deputies regularly made unlawful stops and arrests of
Latinos and that there was evidence they used excessive force and failed to
adequately protect the Hispanic community.
Arpaio told reporters on Thursday that his review of Obama’s birth certificate
began in August, months before the Justice Department investigation findings
in December, and denied that it was politically motivated.
“It has nothing to do with politics … I said from the beginning I want
the truth … I don’t care where it falls. In fact if we can prove … that
birth certificate was real, he was born here, I would be very happy with
that, but we have obstacles here,” he said.
The Justice Department’s findings critical of Arpaio stem from an
investigation that began in 2008 during the administration of former
President George W Bush. Arpaio still faces a criminal probe.
Last December, a federal judge barred Arpaio from detaining people simply
because they were in the country illegally and sanctioned the sheriff for
destroying related documents.
Arpaio has also come under fire from critics who claim he failed to adequately
investigate hundreds of sex-crimes in Maricopa County, which covers the
metro Phoenix area.
Locally, Arpaio’s aggressive pursuit of illegal immigrants has earned him
accolades in conservative political circles. Late last year he endorsed
Texas governor Rick Perry in his failed bid for the Republican presidential
nomination.
