Sykes says jail deaths story would explode...

...should Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke be appointed to a major position by President-elect Donald Trump, perhaps as Homeland Security Secretary.

As others have pointed out, conservative talk show host Charlie Sykes said on his 620 WTMJ-AM program mid-morning today that Clarke could not get away at a confirmation hearing with declining to provide information about the jail deaths - - four since the summer - - as he has to date with local media and even with the families of the deceased.

Sykes and Clarke have been allies, but not apparently right now with Sykes still #NeverTrump and Clarke perhaps in line for a Trump appointment after campaigning hard for Trump on the stump and often on Fox News.

Stonewalling about four deaths on one's watch - - including a new born child and a death by severe dehydration ruled officially a homicide because jail staffers shit off the water in a victim's cell  - - while seeking a job that comes with the highest levels of media scrutiny and administrative responsibilities imaginable looks like a losing job search strategy to me.
