BREAKING UPDATE: Maricopa County Sheriff's Office DENIES Detectives Are Working On Criminal Ancillary Investigation Related To Obama Birth Certificate Probe

Earlier this afternoon, Arizona's Politics received confirmation from the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office that it had two detectives working on a criminal investigation related to the 2 1/2-year long probe into President Barack Obama's birth certificate.  A spokesperson for Sheriff Joe Arpaio now tells Arizona's Politics that his information was INCORRECT, and that birth certificate lead investigator Mike Zullo "was incorrect".

MCSO Lt. Brandon Jones states that he "was misinformed" when he had confirmed the information earlier.  He now states that "The detectives are not working on anything regarding the birth certificate. Not even surrounding. Mr Zullo was incorrect, they are working on other sensitive cases not even related."

During a radio interview this past Friday, Zullo had talked about the 2nd investigation, and had indicated that he was assisting the two MCSO "full time detectives."

The importance of Zullo's remarks centers on the expenditure of taxpayers' money related to the ongoing birth certificate investigation.  In 2012, it was discovered that an MCSO deputy had accompanied Mr. Zullo to Hawaii for several days as part of the Cold Case Posse investigation.  The uproar prompted Sheriff Arpaio to announce that the non-profit Posse would reimburse the county for the expenses and that no taxpayer money would be used on the investigation.

(P.S. For those sometime-skeptics, here is a picture of the "I was misinformed" email.  Lt. Jones then thanked me for running this new article.)

So Zullo is no longer being referred to as Lt. Zullo? Nothing that comes from him is credible, anyway.

Anonymous said...

Hey! This Sounds Just like Mike Evans.

Remember Mike Evans said that Governor Abercrombie said there was no birth certificate and then the very next day Mike Evans said he never talked to Governor Abercrombie.

Ok! How do you figure?

So the Great Usurper got to Sheruf Joe? Then isn't the supposed criminal investigation by Lt. Commander Zullo like compromised?

Lt. Rear Admiral Commander Zullo has been lying his ass off for two years so what else is new?

Mitch M. said...

Thanks for the comment, Anon. I had previously referred to Mike Zullo as "lead investigator" (in 2012 and 2013 articles). Today, I referred to him as "Lt.". When that reference was questioned, I (again) quickly tried to verify, could not, and went back to referring to him as "lead investigator."

Um No James Youngblood, Abercrombie never said there was no birth certificate nor did Evans say that. Evans never said he actually spoke with Abercrombie. So you're saying though that both Mike Evans and Mike Zullo are liars.

Ah, yes, Arpaio would have the CCP reimburse MCSO with private donations. Law enforcement for sale!

That went over about as well as it should have:

County rejects funds for Arpaio's 'birther' probe [The local news coverage at this link is priceless!]

And ... whoops, the proposed "donation" was nowhere near the amount of funds wasted.

Foggy said...

C'mon, folks. Mitch is now an Official Obot; so pronounceth the Birther Brain Trust. Let's give him a big welcome to the winning team, yay!

We're having a big meetup in person in Philly in May, Mitch. More than 35 of us will be flying/driving in from all over the country. Be there or be somewhere else. Sorry you missed the best meetup EVAR, in Phoenix in May 2010. That one was magical and led to an enduring Obot romance. Love and magic were in the air at the Clarendon Hotel that weekend, you betcha! :xo :hug:

Now, back to business.

Zullo and Gallups are going to have to clarify on Friday, maybe before then. Many birthers think they've defeated the awful news by labeling Mitch as an Obot, but that still leaves that pesky Jones feller from the MCSO, who apparently DID say something that impugns the credibility of our birther hero, Zullo the Clown.

It's funny that nobody at Birther Report thought of asking Zullo to explain, but he will be compelled to explain, and it oughta be good.

Great work, Mitch. It's comical, to say the least, how this is being spun all over the tiny village of birfistan. Little Mikey caught fabricating stories to enhance PayPayl donations. Whodathunkit.

You sound just like John who got his head handed back to him for the same, wrong post on Obama Conspiracy.

Reality Check said...

I find the idea that one could donate to an organization of fake law enforcement officials to supposedly obtain the desired outcome of a criminal investigation to be beyond bizarre and absolutely opposed to the basic principle of blind justice. To think that anyone takes Mike Zullo seriously says a lot about the average Birther/Teabagger.

Thanks for taking the initiative of contacting the MCSO to check out Zullo's story.

dunstvangeet said...

Zullo has no official position at the MCSO, and is not an employee of the MCSO. He basically made up his own title to give himself rank within his own posse. He is not a Lieutenant.

Anonymous said...

In the same interview Zullo and Gallups said that Zullo has been on the road for the past three months. Who picks up the tab for the travel? If the MCSO, that would be tax dollars, if the CCP, that would mean donated dollars. Shouldn't there be a published record of the expenses?

Red Right Hand said...

There is no "birth certificate probe". Never has been. All they did a couple of years ago was repackage a bunch of previous birther conspiracy theories, and put it up for sale.

Anonymous said...

It's obvious Obama's birth certificate is a forgery. That is a crime. Why hasn't Obama been arrested?

Reality Check said...

It isn't obvious. As a matter of fact it isn't true at all. Hawaii said they issued the certificate so that ends the argument ... period.

RTM9999 said...

Yup I've downloaded the YT recordings with Mike Evans stating on 3 separate radio programs did in fact quote Abercrombie saying that.

RTM9999 said...

The Obots gleefully don't get it...
Barry's early life myth has been proven to be so full of lies that it just ain't true no matter how the Obots want to spin it...
Yet they jump on an e-mail from someone that is not Arpaio and act as if that is the final word from the MSCO! LOL

RTM9999 said...

It is blatantly obvious except to the oblivious Obots.
The HDOH is prohibited by statute from all disclosure to all those that lack direct and tangible interest... Hawaii can not confirm or deny that they issued anything to those that lack direct and tangible interest ... Everything the Obots have pinned their hopes on is just smoke and mirrors nonsesne.

RTM9999 said...

That is Mike Evans good pal of Abercrombie was on 3 different radio programs (And yup all 3 are recorded and on YT .) stating that Abercrombie told him that he couldn't find any records for Barry.... In case the Obots missed it above.

RTM9999 said...

Obots making assumptions from a single e-mail posted by a guy with an axe to grind against Zullo.... Nope no chance at all that the claims made in e-mail doesn't have any problems in the claims made in the e-mail? LOL
In case the Obots missed it and w/o a doubt obviously they have missed it ...
Barry w/o a doubt lies like a rug and has done so for the most part of his life... In fact pretty much every claim made by Barry ever since he announced his run for the WH... Is a LIE.
And many of the claims he made before he announced his run were a lie too.
Anne and Barry II were NOT in Hawaii to be left by Sr when Barry was about 2 yrs old, NONE of that "Obama family" lived at the newspaper announcement/forged LFBC address in any of August,1961 and beyond because Sr had his own apartment where Anne never lived with him because Anne was in Washington attending the UofW from the Fall,1961 quarter until she returned to the UofH in the Spring of 1963.... Other Barry lies include that Barry never saw a magazine article he claims he saw because it wasn't published in any of the magazines he claimed he saw it in, Anne's health insurance policy didn't deny her coverage for her cancer, there was NEVER a smear involving the Kenyan POB because the 1991 bio pre-dates the Barry created conspiracy theory that people were trying to smear him over something that ends up being a published fact that was published fact in many places 16 years before he ever announced his run for the WH and yup they even edited that version over those 16 years.
The Obots are just in "See no Barry lies, hear no Barry lies, don't acknowledge the Barry lies mode" because they are on a snipe hunt quest to discover lies that they won't find from the folks that are discovering and publishing at least some of the Barry lies that they are in denial over!

RTM9999 said...

Boo hoo the Dim controlled county didn't like Arpaio investigating the fraudster in chief and so they reject funds that would have at least helped reimburse the county for an investigation that they after the fact tried to pull the rug out from under it....

Oh well the office of POTUS was up for sale as foreign campaign donations poured in but the Obots are overly anxious about the MCSO investigating the Fraudster in Chief over what is obvious forged images he posted on the WH website.

BTW - Speaking of begging for funds....
Is this any "better"?

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/05/us/politics/sebelius-asked-companies-to-support-health-care-law.html?_r=0

An unpopular law that is getting more unpopular by the second and the Obot that was formally in charge has to go strong arm private cos for what amounts to protection money....
The donations wouldn't come close to covering what it cost to roll out even the failed website...
Yet the Obots want to concentrate on what by comparison is a trivial amount of expenditures that the Dim controlled county rejected an attempt to at least reimburse the county for some of the costs ...

The Obots are truly Barry's bamboozled totally adoring w/o questioning Barry at all ... Barry tools!

The USA is $ 17 trillion in debt and Barry isn't about to even try to put on the brakes on the runaway debt train because he is buying votes for Dims with entitlement money that the USA simply doesn't have because it is borrowing it ( And yup Barry campaigned against that.... Thus Yet another Barry lie in a myriad of Barry lies! ) ... Political power at the Fed level bought and paid for with foreign money while the foreign born liar in Chief gets to avoid scrutiny because he Obots are too busy watching his back to notice his lies.... Nope nothing for the Obots to see because they are on a character assassinate the Barry opposition snipe hunt!

RTM9999 said...

Obviously Obots don't want to admit that Cold Case Possees are used by many law enforcement agencies... They even solve crime cases the on the payroll LEOs couldn't crack... And yup Maricopa county has a cold case posse.
Obots only "find" things "bizzare" , "loony", etc. when it involves anything opposing Barry and yet Barry lies like a rug and does so w/o even a 2nd thought.... And the especially hard core Obots will continue to defend Barry no matter what and no matter how many lies he tells... Now that is actually bizzare behavior because Barry has zero credibility because again he lies like a rug.... Yet the Obots want to act as if he is incapable of lying and unworthy of investigation into anything associated with him or his radical agenda!

RTM9999 said...

Barry and MO vacations incessantly ( Don't bother bringing up Bush... Barry wasn't going to be Bush II remember? ) ... Those vacation expenses have to be obtained via FOIA requests... Barry campaigned claiming his admin would be the most transparent ever... But nope.
The USA is $ 17 trillion in debt, Barry and MO are living a super dooper lavish life style and the Obots that likely don't even live in Az worry their heads off about a county sheriff's CCP budget that pales in comparison? LOL what literally goofy folks the Obots are!

There is so much wrong with that it is hard to know where to begin. If you cannot see what is bizarre about a situation where one can donate money to target a completely fake politically motivated investigation then there probably isn't hope for you.

First, no crime has been committed in Maricopa County concerning anything to do with the President's birth certificate - or anywhere else for that matter. The Maricopa County attorney said that, not me. That is one of those pesky facts Zullo wants to ignore.

What crimes have the MCCCP ever solved? Did they catch someone jaywalking?

Here is the reality - a bunch of Teatard morons, you know, Sheriff Joe's political base, were mightily offended that the black guy got elected. They went whining to Joe about it. Joe, being politically savvy, gave it to the useful idiots on the CCP to do a pretend investigation with pretend cops and pretend evidence about pretend crimes.

As long as Joe can keep it bottled up within the powerless CCP it works out well for everyone. The Teatards are stupid enough to believe Kommandate Zullo's non stop string of lies about super secret stuff and pretend release dates of "universe shattering information". Zullo has a purpose in life, can fly to Hawaii, go on Lyin' Carl's radio show and pretend to be somebody.

I have sympathy for the law enforcement professionals within the MCSO who have to watch clowns like Zullo and Joe be the public face of their organization. It must be quite frustrating.

Which supposed radio programs? His quote was he spoke to Abercrombie's office. Abercrombie was never a "friend" of Mike Evans. If Mike Evans believed the story so much why was it not posted on Evans' website?

Anonymous said...

Who exactly has an axe to grind against Zullo who isn't an actual cop? None of the Obama family lived at the address in the newspaper announcement? Ann Dunham's father and mother lived there. Ann lived at the address. She didn't attend UofW in the fall. She took correspondence courses as shown by her transcripts. Those are classes done by mail.

The publisher claim was disputed by the actual writer of the piece who said she had no input from Obama. The piece was predated by the NY Times and LA Times

Both articles saying Obama was born in Hawaii. This is a year before your supposed bio that went uncirculated and it took birthers until 2012 to find.

Name one single case the cold case posse led by Mike Zullo worked on before this birther nonsense.

Vacations incessantly? Really? So it's only bad when the black couple do it nevermind that Obama has taken way less vacation time than any of his predecessors. You only care now for some reason.

You act as if the Obamas are responsible for all 17 trillion. Your concern trolling seems limited to this President. Super duper lavish lifestyle? You seem to have no problem with those before them living the same way.

Birthers prefer to rely on a few articles that erroneously state that President Obama was born in Kenya while ignoring thousands of articles & statements that indicate he was born in Hawaii.

They ignore the fact that US law would not have allowed him to become a citizen of Indonesia due to being a minor because it doesn't suit their claims.

They ignore the fact that Obama, Sr.'s passport & immigration records show that he never left the U.S. while he was here as a student.

Birthers also ignore the fact that Ann Dunham applied for a passport for the first time in 1965, a date that is used on all the renewals, yet claim she gave birth to her son in Kenya. They also can't explain how a pregnant woman left the U.S. without the required immunizations and ignore the fact that she would not be allowed to receive them due to her pregnancy.

Birthers HATE facts, so they pretend they don't exist.

Kate1230 said...

If you want the final word on their so called investigation from the CCP, we'll have it in March...oops! Sorry, Zullo changed it to June and that was only a maybe. He has quite a history of promises of "breaking news" and then goes silent, until he needs another infusion of cash for his next vacation to Hawaii or wherever the hell he's supposed to be doing his investigating.

Here's a great timeline of the CCP's promises.

"It is blatantly obvious except to the oblivious Obots."

It is blatantly obvious except tot he idiots aka Birthers that Hawaii issued a copy of two birth certificates to representatives of Barack Obama and then issued verification documents twice. It is blatantly obvious to anyone except to an idiot like RTM9999 that that PRESIDENT Obama was born in Hawaii.

Loretta Fuddy, the Hawaiian official who released the fraudulent birth certificate has died mysteriously in a plane crash..Now the funny thing is one of the survivors said she was alive and fine then just dissappeared.. There will be no search fro the black box. Kinda like no search for the black box when the navy seal team 6 helicopter was shot down.
