Report: Obama Prompted Investigation of Sheriff Joe Arpaio
IS MASS SURVEILLANCE KILLING THE REPUBLIC?
by Sharon Rondeau
(May 16, 2015) — In an editorial published at WND on Friday evening, Atty. Larry Klayman presented several reasons why he believes U.S. District Court Judge G. Murray Snow should have recused himself from presiding over a case charging Maricopa County, AZ Sheriff Joseph M. Arpaio with contempt of his order to refrain from “racial profiling” of Hispanics during traffic stops.
Snow is a 2008 George W. Bush judicial appointee who last month demanded that investigatory information gleaned from an investigation Arpaio had launched involving a former CIA contractor, Dennis Montgomery, be turned over to him.
Between April 21 and 24, Arpaio and some of his deputies testified that they had defied Snow’s order as to how to collect information sought by a federally-appointed monitor from Snow’s decision in 2013 that Arpaio had violated the plaintiffs’ constitutional rights in the case of Melendres, et al v. Arpaio, et al originally filed in 2007 by the ACLU.
The U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit in May 2012 against Arpaio’s office for allegedly “intentionally and systematically discriminated against Latinos. They have accomplished this by stopping Latinos in their vehicles four to nine times more often than similarly situated non-Latino drivers. In addition, MCSO stops Latinos on the county’s roads without the required legal justification. Also, MCSO detains and searches Latinos on the roads, in their homes, and in their workplaces without legal justification for doing so. Further, MCSO mistreats Latino detainees with limited English proficiency by ignoring important requests if they are not made in English and punishing detainees if they fail to understand orders given in English. Finally, MCSO files baseless administrative actions, civil actions and criminal cases against its perceived critics in an attempt to chill free speech.”
The Obama regime itself has been accused, particularly in recent weeks, of “intolerance” as it relates to First Amendment issues.
Also last night, Carl Gallups of “Freedom Friday” provided an update on the Arpaio hearing in which he advised his audience to “listen carefully” and “read in between the lines” regarding a mainstream media article titled “Sheriff’s investigation was intended to discredit.”
The same report appears across a wide spectrum of outlets with the erroneous headline link, “Arpaio admits to hiring private agents to investigate judge’s wife.”
During testimony on April 24, Arpaio stated that his attorney hired a private investigator to determine the veracity of a report made to Arpaio’s office that Judge Snow’s wife had publicly expressed that her husband wished to see that Arpaio was not re-elected during the time in which the Melendres case proceeded and Snow presided.
The media did not question whether or not Snow is now compromised. Neither Snow nor his wife has denied making the comments alleged by several fellow patrons in a restaurant prior to Arpaio’s 2012 re-election to a sixth consecutive term.
Gallups described Montgomery as having provided “reams and reams” of information as a confidential informant to Arpaio concerning mass surveillance of public officials and Maricopa County residents. “Apparently, there were people involved in tracking information and collecting information on citizens, including judges and including law enforcement officials, etc., around the nation, coming right out of our government offices, and apparently Arpaio and Zullo are privy to a lot of that,” Gallups said.
Montgomery has been characterized as a “con man” who perpetrated a scam on the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in 2003 when DHS declared a raised terror threat and several commercial international flights were grounded. A story in Wired, citing original source Playboy, claims that Montgomery “was able to to pawn his technology off” on several government departments at various times in contracts worth millions of dollars over a period of years.
Montgomery has sued the federal government and New York Times author James Risen for defamation.
In his lawsuit against Obama and the National Security Agency (NSA) for alleged unlawful collection of personal data and communications, Klayman asked on March 20 of this year that Montgomery be heard by the judge in private session because of the classified nature of information Montgomery reportedly holds. “Mr. Montgomery can testify about the unconstitutional and illegal surveillance conducted by the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) that is highly relevant and of crucial importance to the above-styled lawsuits, as he worked closely with these agencies following the tragedy of September 11, 2001. As shown below, Montgomery has attempted to alert appropriate government authorities that surveillance goes beyond what whistleblower Edward Snowden disclosed. In fact, the surveillance has even harvested the records of judicial, congressional, and executive government officials. Indeed, this is confirmed in no small part by Senator Diane Feinstein, previously the Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, who revealed that the CIA had illegally harvested emails and other information of her and her staff,” Klayman wrote.
Last July, CIA Director John Brennan admitted to having surveilled the Senate Intelligence Committee but apologized for it. Members of Congress have suggested that they and members of the U.S. Supreme Court have been targeted by surveillance under the Obama regime.
In June 2013, Snowden revealed to The Guardian that the NSA has been collecting billions of communications from Americans on a daily basis without a warrant. Klayman’s first court hearing on the issue resulted in a ruling in December 2013 from Judge Richard Leon that the activity was “likely unconstitutional,” while a May 7, 2015 ruling from a three-judge appellate panel stated that “the bulk telephone metadata program” used by the NSA to collect information is not authorized by Section 215 of The Patriot Act.
According to Arpaio, Montgomery had reportedly told members of his office that a government entity, perhaps the CIA, had breached the email accounts of Snow and other judges as well as bank account information of more than 50,000 Maricopa County residents, after which Snow appeared to identify the “Department of Justice” as being involved.
During testimony on April 24, Arpaio indicated that information Mongtomery provided had not turned out to be wholly credible, although Arpaio’s chief deputy, Jerry Sheridan, testified that a FISA Court judge in Washginton, DC had affirmed that codes provided by Montgomery reportedly used to decipher messages by government agencies were, in fact, accurate, a detail the mainstream media did not report.
On Friday, KPHO reported:
On May 8, Klayman filed an emergency request with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals for a Writ of Mandamus ordering Snow to recuse himself from the Melendres case, but on May 12, the higher court declined to intervene. A status hearing scheduled by Snow for Thursday then ensued.
Ninth Circuit Denial Dennis Montgomery 05-12-15
Represented by Klayman, Montgomery had asked to intervene in the case and that his proprietary work not be collected by the court. Documents posted on PACER on the case on Thursday and Friday indicate that Snow has not recused himself and that Montgomery’s motions were denied.

On Friday, KPHO reported:
A federal judge harshly criticized Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s office Thursday for pursuing a secret investigation designed to discredit the judge as he oversees a racial-profiling case against the lawman.
U.S. District Judge Murray Snow said Arpaio intended to show that Snow and the U.S. Justice Department were conspiring against him in two civil rights cases. Arpaio’s goal in trying to discredit the judge is unclear, but Snow has delivered some of the most crushing legal blows in the sheriff’s 22-year tenure, including a ruling that his officers racially profiled Latinos.
