John Leonardo, Arizona's New U.S. Attorney, is No Fan of Sheriff Arpaio
Mon., Jul. 2 2012
The new Arizona U.S. Attorney, John Leonardo, will inherit a number of cases when he takes office, likely sometime next week.
One of those cases will be the ongoing investigation into whether Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arapio abused the power of his office.
And Leonardo, judging from a past opinion, believes the answer to the question is "yes."
-- snip --
Leonardo still must have his confirmation signed by President Obama and be sworn in, but officials at the U.S. Attorney's Office in Phoenix expect to see him at work by next week.
