I've been rewatching The Wire and throughout the seasons, mainly 4 and 5, Burrell and Rawls makes subtle references about Daniels not being all "saintly" as he appears.

My question is do they ever explain what dirt they have on Daniels?

Season 1 they have a file on him being not so clean when he was on the East side, probably money, considering his nice house.FBI had a file him that McNulty was aware of. No specifics given.

Kept him in check until he decided in Season 2 that if he was going down then he was going to bring S.O.s who much dirtier down with him.

I was rewatching the first season last week. I only remember the FBI (or was it DEA) agent who was friends with McNulty mentioning that Daniels had "about $200k (?) more in liquid assets than any police lieutenant should" or something like that. It is also said that it's possible that it could be legit though. There were also references to him hanging something over other guys heads in season 2 like the other poster mentioned.

I really don't remember it ever being revealed what exactly he did or if/how dirty he was.

Isn't he also in the gay bar in the back?

Jimmy's FBI contact said that Daniels had some cash stashed away - more than what he should have for his pay grade.

They never really elaborate

In season 5 the FBI report ends up in the hands of the female councilwoman and she gives it to Daniels wife. Daniels says its not nearly a enough for an indictment but from the conversation it appears that the report would raise enough questions to keep him from being confirmed as police chief and keep Marla from winning re-election and/or staying in politics.

My best guess, some funny business with drug seizures and guys playing fast with department procedures and evidence.

His wife in season 2 also mentions something about his dirty days or something similar when talking out on their front steps.
