If you had your money on… Joe Arpaio…you [win](http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/phoenix/2017/07/31/maricopa-county-sheriff-joe-arpaio-found-guilty-criminal-contempt-court/486278001/)! Couldn’t happen to a better person. Glad to see justice done, but frankly I hope he gets a slap on the wrist with the explanation that a just criminal system does not imprison octogenarians. ---

Not even a single night in Tent City? Surely the judge can do \*that \*much for him. ---

He really does deserve Tent City in the height of the Arizona summer. He’s at least earned that much. I hope he gets whatever “the maximum” is. ---

He’ll never do time. Hell, the entire conviction will be moot. It’s federal, so Donny “the cuck” Trump will pardon him. ---
