I would almost bet a paycheck or a big portion of cash that these bombs being delivered to the residences of ex-Presidents didn't happen....you seriously think mail goes to their homes before being opened and inspected......
Didn't think so................................

Nah. It's nice enough. Big county with low population. Less than one person per square mile country. Palmer moved from sheriff to county commissioner - from LEO to politician. So, he's locked in his retirement.

It's absolutely beautiful in Grant County

I took occasion to drive across part of the county during a trip about 18 months ago. It was along a route that cuts pretty much dead-center through Oregon. That morning we left Madras and ended up not far from Juntura. We took a route that passed through Post and other towns and eventually crossed the north end of Malheur Forest joining 395 around Seneca.

Amazing country

But I will say this. Reasonable or not, knowing who the Sheriff was, I was very nervous when I was driving in Grant County.

I recommmend a trip through the middle of Oregon to anyone who is able, at least once in your lifetime. Just know there is a lot of "middle" to Oregon, so plan wisely

There is definitely a lot of middle in Oregon, and I have grown used to trips out there taking literally all day to drive. So much so, that when I go back east, my internal trip timer is thrown out of whack. Oregon - one page in the map book - ten hour drive corner to corner. Massachusetts - one page in the map book - an hour drive at best corner to corner - your car barely gets up to highway speed, and you have to take your foot off the gas because you're already there. But, just as beautiful (at least to my eye).

He resigned this morning.

Tough decision this morning but it's time to move on.
Thank you all who have entrusted me with the duties and responsibilities of being your Sheriff for the last 19 years.
I look forward in working with our County Court as they (we) transition a new Sheriff for Grant County.
After close to 35 years as a deputy, patrolman and as a Sheriff, it's time to hang up the gear and find a new gig.
To all my supporters and people who have encouraged me and entrusted me....Thank you.

Why now? Did he misspell “grift”? (“gig”)

He resigned this morning.

Wonder if there was blowback from his recent advice to domestic abusers to try to get their conviction(s) expunged so they could buy guns.

[Dave at Sea]

Nahhh.. that would appeal to his base..

Possibility of footage of him by accidently supporting sensible law enforcement would be more likely to cause him to resign..

More likely - his has been caught embezzeling or abusing people and he is resigning as part of a deal.

[scirreeve]

There is "stuff", which is totally not verified, on twitter that he is facing a lawsuit about something (I checked the OR court site and nothing filed since the Oregonian lawsuit).

[DejaMoo]

Palmer did not give a reason why he planned to resign his office in a few months, but he was heard to utter under his breath that he'd had enough.

"He'd had enough.."

Lying, cheating, stealing and supporting criminals and domestic terrorists...

He is probably well qualified for a position in Donnie's Cabinet.
