Long after federal prosecutors decided not to pursue criminal charges against then-Sheriff Dave A. Clarke Jr. over his treatment of a fellow airline passenger, an FBI agent's request to search Clarke's private gmail account was filed in federal court late Thursday.


In a March 7 affidavit in support of a search warrant request, Special Agent Jennifer Walkowski lays out the well-publicized January encounter between Clarke and Dan Black, and the ensuing hassle Black was subjected to by deputies at Clarke's direction in the January incident.

............................


Walkowski was seeking the warrant for information kept by Google about Clarke's email address, dclarke.cowboy@gmail.com. She notes the FBI began its investigation after getting the report of one done by the Forensic Audit Manager for the Milwaukee County Office of the Controller-Audit Services Division.

Walkowski asked that the warrant application be sealed since at the time the FBI investigation involvement wasn't known to possible targets. It sought all email activity records for the dclarke.cowboy account from Jan.15 and forward.

Sounds plausible to me. Didn't he step down voluntarily as Sheriff, too?

He did step down. September 1st. And those "opportunities" never materialized. I think you're on to something.

Bice: Ex-Sheriff Clarke recycles claim that 'survival' of republic rests on Alabama race

Former Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. must have liked his line about the importance of electing Donald Trump president last year.

That's because Clarke decided to recycle it when rallying support for Alabama GOP candidate Roy Moore.

"This is about the survival of this republic," Clarke asserted Monday at a barnyard rally in southeast Alabama on the eve of the contest between Moore, the controversial former state Supreme Court justice, and Democratic candidate Doug Jones, a career prosecutor.

Serious stuff. Just as serious, it turns out, as the outcome of the last presidential election. That's when Clarke said in a November 2016 video that the fate of the country rested on getting Trump into office. .............................
