What Arpaio was convicted of:
Quote:
In December 2014, after many warnings, U.S. District Judge G. Murray Snow told Arpaio there was a very real possibility that he would refer Arpaio to the U.S. Attorney's Office for criminal prosecution on contempt-of-court charges due to the MCSO's failure to comply with the court's order to stop its racial profiling practices.
In March 2015, a month before the scheduled contempt hearing, Arpaio admitted that he violated several court orders, and consented to a finding of civil contempt against him.
On July 31, 2017, following a bench trial, Arpaio was found guilty of criminal contempt of court. U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton wrote that Arpaio had "willfully violated an order of the court" by failing "to ensure his subordinates' compliance and by directing them to continue to detain persons for whom no criminal charges could be filed." Arpaio was scheduled to be sentenced in October 2017.

He violeted people's Constitutional rights. The courts ordered him to stop, he did not stop, he was held in contempt, and now President Trump has pardoned him.
Is there really any question about whether this President is a racist anymore? Is it not crystal clear that the meaning of "great" in "Make America Great Again" is "white"?
