Maricopa County’s elected top prosecutor, Andrew Thomas, talked at a news conference Wednesday about the criminal charges he just brought against Superior Court Judge Gary Donahoe.
While Thomas was referring to the alleged “corruption” Donahoe has engaged in, many have voiced concerns that the prosecutor and his ally, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, are using their law enforcement powers to target their critics such as the judge.
“This is an absolutely sad day for any person in a free republic,” Thomas told reporters. “We are not going to be thwarted. We are not going to let anybody obstruct justice in the community.”
