This human corkboard still needs to be held to task for the deaths in the county jail under his watch.

David Clarke spending a few decades in prison would be personally and narratively satisfying.

Get off his back - He must be one of the bravest law enforcement officers on the planet !
Maybe the Russian influence extends to accessorising his uniform?

Unsurprising given US behavior in every other country in the world for the last 50 years, right?

Clarke did not respond to messages by phone or email. He now lives near Washington, D.C., where he has a political consulting business.

Wow, it’s almost like big-money donors expect and receive what amounts to a quid pro quo return on their investment.

So any politician who accepts anything other than small-dollar donations from private citizens is essentially taking a bribe.

Who could have predicted that American elections would turn into a bidding contest?

Please tell me they chose this name as an intentional reference to a Russian bear. Please. Please. Please.

That would be such a pure supervillain move, like the Penguin buying a submarine under the name “P. N. Guin.”

Conservatives always start from the assumption that it’s impossible for them commit treason, anything they do is by default Patriotic and moral and good. So when treason rears its ugly head it’s must be an illusion, the real treason is whatever the liberals are doing-- like investigating Trump and the NRA and corruption. Hence the “deep state” excuse-- there must really be secret anti-American moles working against democracy simply by being knowledgeable about how government functions, and doing their jobs efficiently, and reporting on Trump cabinet members lack of experience.

He’ll respond to those calls eventually. It’s just a bit tricky when you have to re-dye your facial hair every time you’re required to step into the limelight.

You know things are getting bad for the GOP when even Fox News is reporting on the Russia stuff.

The hat makes more sense now that we know he was likely a Russian agent.
