San Francisco Supervisor Jackie Fielder’s mental health crisis and hospitalization came weeks after City Attorney David Chiu warned city leaders about the unlawful leak of a confidential memo — a breach he said could trigger investigations, discipline or even removal from office. Reports that Fielder was initially intending to resign after checking in to a hospital last week have sparked a flurry of theories on what motivated the first-term lawmaker to go missing from City Hall meetings for weeks before checking herself in for treatment. She has since decided to wait on making a decision.
