Trump "Bodyguard" who delivered Comey termination letter is ANOTHER SECURITY RISK!

(CNN) Few people inside Donald Trump's orbit are more important than Keith Schiller, the President's longtime bodyguard who has risen from part-time hired muscle to director of Oval Office operations.

Schiller joined the Trump Organization as a part-time bodyguard in 1999 after an assistant district attorney put in a good word for him with the real estate mogul. Formerly a NYPD detective who served in the Navy, Schiller quickly moved up the ladder with Trump, from temporary employee to bodyguard to Trump's head of security in 2005.

Friends from high school say Schiller never shied away from a fight during his younger years, a trait that has stayed with him. When protesters gathered around Trump tower during the campaign, Schiller ripped a sign out of one man's hands a punched him when he tried to grab it back.

TRUMP’S WHITE HOUSE SECURITY AIDE KEITH SCHILLER HAS HISTORY OF FINANCIAL WOES
By Jeff Stein On Tuesday, March 14, 2017 - 14:39



Updated | Keith Schiller, the former Trump Organization security chief whom the president has brought into the White House as director of Oval Office operations, has a long trail of tax liens and mortgage foreclosures, according to financial records reviewed by Newsweek.

Schiller and his wife Lena were sued three times for unpaid taxes, once by New York State and twice by the IRS, the last instance as recently as four years ago, publicly available records show. A decade ago, two of their properties, one in New York and one in Florida, were foreclosed for nonpayment.

In early February, Newsweek filed a Freedom of Information suit against multiple federal agencies, including the FBI, to learn how a number of Trump appointees were given access to classified information despite allegations of criminal histories and foreign connections that should have raised red flags in the reviewing process.




A government employee struggling with financial problems is considered a security risk, according to the Department of Homeland Security’s 2014 guideline on “insider threats.” Schiller’s troubled financial history also raises questions about the rigor of the security vetting process, which has periodically come under scrutiny since early January, when CNN revealed several instances of plagiarism by Monica Crowley, Trump’s pick for a top spot in the White House National Security Council. She was forced to withdraw from the post and her publisher deep-sixed her 2012 best-selling book, What the (Bleep) Just Happened.

I'm guessing that this is a spy assigned to watch Trump's every move. Trump is so stupid he probably thinks the guy really does work for him.

More digging on this guy.

Comey no doubt knows all about him.

What a slap to justice to have the director of the FBI delivered a termination letter by a crook.

It would have gotten Trump exactly what he wanted if he'd done that.

See? He's an idiot.

during the campaign grab a Hispanic protestor and threw him around took his sign and tore it into pieces. I believe he is also the same guy who threw the Hispanic reporter out of a press conference.

Until I became suspicious of why Trump would send someone to deliver a termination letter, as opposed to calling him to the White House.

This looks almost like a threat to Comey.
