The Company You Keep

It seems that Mr. Arpaio is not alone in being accused by the Justice Department of using his office to intimidate political opponents.  Andrew Thomas, the former Maricopa County Attorney, is also being accused by DOJ of the same behavior.  Here are some of the charges Mr. Thomas will have to answer to : "filing criminal and civil cases without probable cause or evidentiary basis; bringing them to embarrass, burden or delay; dishonesty and fraud; incompetence; conflicts of interest; and engaging in criminal conduct (by causing an unknowing sheriff’s detective to swear to a false affidavit for charging a judge with crimes after others had balked". Also two of Mr. Thomas' assistants are being charged.  Maricopa County seems like a political cesspool.
