Yeah, you read that right.

Arizona's newly elected Attorney General, Tom Horne, just said he will not pursue the investigation into the Sheriff's Command Association (SCA), a political action committee that friends of Joe Arpaio established -- illegally it turns out. While previous AG Terry Goddard had started an investigation, Horne's office says he'll leave it to the Feds:

"(Federal prosecutors) have received previous authorization from the Maricopa County Attorney's Office to investigate and prosecute any potential state criminal statutes that may arise as part of their federal investigation," said Jim Keppel, criminal-division chief of the Attorney General's Office. "Those are the circumstances that led to the AG's decision to defer to them regarding the investigations and potential prosecutions." Arizona Republic

2. This is a good thing--the feds already have a grand jury going, and

frankly, it's a good thing that this will be federal, and not state.
