Clay Got COVID19 – Ignoring Own Warnings
Four sources confirmed that Jenkins most recent routine did not include masks or social distancing.
Several of those sources believe Jenkins was isolating before the diagnosis given his recent work habits.
The same sources say Jenkins wanted to run for Governor. They say he has no fire to be Dallas County Judge anymore.
One county staffer said, “he is going through the motions, but isn’t there mentally anymore.”
