Can it be proven that the Sheriff knew about and ignored drug trafficking criminal aliens? Can a case be made to either can or vote out the Sheriff, or would it be a potential case of slander or libel?
What sort of political climate is there in County and city government, and what sort of retribution can be dished out for rocking the boat?
For example in LA: I understand that the same reporter who went after DWP employees had some dirt on the LAPD he planned taking public but canned when informed (presumably from elements within the LAPD) that his life would become a living hell and that he would cease to have a career.
