Sheriff David Clarke expected to join Trump administration: report

Source: MSN/The Hill

Former Milwaukee County, Wisc., Sheriff David Clarke is expected to join President Trump's administration, according to a new report.
Two sources familiar with the situation told Politico, which first reported the story, that Clarke is expected to join the Trump administration in a position that is not Senate-confirmed. The former sheriff told Politico that he would "talk about my future plans next week."

Clarke resigned from his position as sheriff on Thursday. In his resignation letter, Clarke did not provide a reason for his resignation.

"Pursuant to Wis. Stat. 17.01, this communication is submitted as the notice of my resignation as Sheriff of Milwaukee County commencing August 31, 2017," Clare wrote in the letter.

Clarke, a strong supporter of President Trump, was reportedly offered a role in Trump's Department of Homeland Security in June.

Shows complete disrespect and lack of care for the job and those you're worked with. On second thought, he'll be perfect on Team tRump.

want to rush right into the Trump administration! It's not like they're totally incompetent, or a dangerous sinking ship or anything! Who wouldn't want to be part of that groovy scene?

The only people NOT paying attention to the S.S. Trumptanic are people so blinded by the wonder and glory of........ THE DONALD that they're oblivious to the shit-storm surrounding Trump, his family, and most of his administration. In other words, someone like David Clarke.

PS, why is it that the ONLY African American people that trump hires happen to be terrible human beings? We've got Omarosa, Carson, that insane black guy who's always sitting behind him at all his rallies, and now Clark. (Full disclosure, I don't know much about Omarosa, but she seems like someone who creates drama and not a very nice person, from the limited things I've read.)

So, either the only African-Americans who are pro-trump just happen to be notably shitty people, OR trump is covertly trying to further inflate race relations by showcasing a handful of truly awful African-Americans. Both?

He wont get any position that requires that - the Democrats would tear him to shreds.

so Trump has to find a place for him where no one is allowed to talk about the deaths in his jails.

His run for a trump post feel apart a few months back when he announced before deal was real.
Would assume he would want dry and announced offer before he tried to jump again.

But then again he is afool
