Attorney General, Jeff Sessions MUST be forced to resign after allowing Trump to interfere with the independent US legal/Justice system. Trump's unilateral pardon is an outrage as Arpaio's crimes are widely known and legally condemned, however, a neutered AG has failed his nation and his position.
It is imperative that high administrative officials REALIZE that they serve the NATION, not an individual, particularly a pathological LIAR and unstable individual. It is the NATION that governments serve not their mates and reprehensible criminal associates.
The rest is up to the American people, as they are the REAL authority in the face of blatant abuse of the legal system, a president is NOT an emperor, dictator or God, presidents answer to the people.
Forget the 'president' has that right, it should be noted that pardons are reserved for those that are falsely accused, unjustly treated or have shown regret/contrition, in other words, on compassionate grounds -- Arpaio's crimes and situation are none of the aforementioned, furthermore, they fly in the face of the UN charter of human rights. Sessions has the ability to make it very difficult for Trump but he neither has the fortitude or character required.
Everyone, if they care about the fate of their nation, must DEMAND that Sessions (and Trump) are removed from their positions, as it is CLEAR they have failed to honor the code, morality and the country's founding documents.
Miserable Failure, AG, Jeff Sessions
