Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr., a vocal supporter of President Trump who came under scrutiny for the conditions in his jails, resigned Thursday, according to the country clerk.

Clarke’s resignation will take effect at midnight, Milwaukee Country Clerk George L. Christenson told The Washington Post.

It’s not immediately clear why Clarke resigned or what intends to do next.

“As far as his rationale,” Christenson told The Post, “I don’t believe I can comment on that. … I was not given any advance notice of this, as you can imagine my phone has been ringing off the hook.”

2. He's already declined once

I think this is either something personal or related to the deaths in his jails.

3. I bet he's doing it to pick a fight and to take up the news cycle

Every time Russia tiptoes back into focus he feels the need to change the subject.

5. There was such an uproar about the job offer that he declined

or, more likely, was told to decline.
hoping this latest has resulted from something he can be arrested for.

4. Hopefully he's going back to the hole in the ground from which he came

6. He got Russian Money. The GOPers are giving him up to make him the scapegoat.
