White House considers giving Milwaukee Sheriff, who once called Hillary Clinton a "morally bankrupt," "straight up cop hater," the position of Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security.

The White House is considering David Clarke, the sheriff of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, for a position at the Department of Homeland Security, three people familiar with the administration’s planning told POLITICO. 

Clarke is in line to be appointed as assistant secretary at DHS’ Office of Partnership and Engagement, which coordinates outreach to state, local and tribal officials and law enforcement. The position does not require Senate confirmation. 

A senior administration official cautioned it’s “not a done deal yet.” 

Clarke, a longtime supporter of President Donald Trump, has long been rumored as a possible candidate for a job in the administration and met with Trump in November at Trump Tower. He also spoke at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland last year.

Besides making the aforementioned remarks about Hillary Clinton, he was also sued for negligent homicide after a prisoner gave birth and her baby died in one of his jails.

That was only one of four deaths that happened in a six month time frame.

So considering this man's considerable baggage, and the fact that he is not exactly lily white like most folks hired by the White House, what was the deciding factor that made Clarke such an attractive candidate?

Ahh, say no more.

Nothing says you have the right stuff for a job in the Trump Administration like ties with Russia.
