Former Milwaukee County sheriff and Donald Trump ally David Clarke has threatened to make the media “taste their own blood,” following news reports of bombshell allegations in an FBI affidavit that he sicced deputies on a fellow airplane passenger almost a year ago. Clarke, who resigned as sheriff in August, made the threat in a tweet Saturday following stories about the affidavit that was unsealed on Thursday. Black had shaken his head after he recognized Clarke and they had a brief conversation, and Clarke took it as a slight. “Just a field interview, no arrest unless he becomes an asshole with your guys,” Clarke texted a deputy, according to a screenshot obtained by the FBI. Still, federal prosecutors informed Clarke’s attorney in May that they weren’t going to pursue charges against him over the incident.
