So let's see .. this dummy accepted a pardon, but doesn't realize that doing so makes him a convicted felon and therefore affects his ability to vote and legally own a gun. It's not substantially different from accepting a plea deal, but then subsequently appealing your conviction.
No wonder you Trumpers love this dummy so much -- his intelligence is on your level.
A federal appeals court has appointed a special prosecutor to argue that former Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s conviction for criminal contempt should stand, despite his pardon by President Donald Trump.
The San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued the order on Tuesday in a 2-1 decision. The court said it was appointing the special prosecutor to defend the conviction because the government plans to side with Arpaio, who argues the conviction should have been vacated. BuzzFeed News covered the order.
Arpaio was the sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona, for 24 years before losing a re-election bid in 2016. He is now running for the U.S. Senate.
Arpaio is appealing an October decision by U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton in which she ruled the pardon spared Arpaio from punishment, but it doesn’t justify vacating the conviction.
