TRUMP INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX

1. a newsworthy story, to be sure.. This kind of private mercenary is

SOP for many members of the 0.01%

5. Did you notice the Former FBI Agent?

Found that very telling.

[shraby]

20. I was just going to note that.

28. I'd been and am still wondering just how many ex-FBI and

NYPD are involved with his various security details, but it's clear a number are leading them and in a position to offer jobs to those ready to move on from both organizations.

The campaign might not want to talk about it, but Trump has contracted 11 security firms, security-guard services, and dozens of individuals as he’s campaigned around the country. And a handful of the private companies are run by retired, high-ranking law-enforcement personnel. It’s unclear if any of them are armed in their capacity on the Trump campaign. ...

And Trump’s preoccupation with that [important-man-with-high-security] appearance dates back decades. ... Bo Dietl, a former NYPD detective and New York media personality known for his appearances on ... Fox News, has been friends with Trump since 1985. ...

Xmark LLC and its president, Edward “Eddie” Deck, have been paid $206,350 since October 2015. Deck is a former FBI agent... “He has a network of retired cops that I know very well, all of them, and the retired cops are very, very professional,” Dietl said. ...“comprised of former law-enforcement professionals, consisting of FBI Agents, NYPD Detectives and NYPD ESU officers.”

...former FBI Special Agent Donald Albracht, has received $27,245 from the Trump campaign.

But Keith Schiller, a retired NYPD detective, has long handled personal security for the candidate.

$32,880 to Gary Uher, a former FBI agent and close associate of Bernie Kerik, the former New York police commissioner who was sentenced to four years in prison for eight felony counts...

22. Bye!

4. Every good fascist needs his own Schutzstaffel...

Just like Adolf's paramilitary SS.

6. I agree

This guy is nothing but bad news

[Lucinda]

7. knr

[TransitJohn]

8. Trump's got brownshirts?

How fucking appropriate.

[ThoughtCriminal]

9. I wonder if one of the Praetorian Guard wanna-bees was the one who shouted "Gun"

That would be pretty pathetic.

[dalton99]

14. Every mobster needs protection.

[AllyCat]

15. That's what I was thinking

[world wide wally]

23. Speaking of mobsters, have you imagined the Trump cabinet?

Pres Trump
AG Chris Christie
Head of the FBI (American Gestapo) Rudy Guilliani

Like a list of New York City mobsters

[dalton99]

29. And with the FBI at their beck and call - to "investigate" their enemies, real and perceived

[Mr.Bill]

17. I hope they all got their pay in advance.

Because after Tuesday they won't see a dime.

[Bavorskoami]

18. Führerbegleitkommando

Maybe a good analog would be the Führerbegleitkommando (The leader's escort command). SA (Sturmabteilung) and SS-Leibstandarte had areas of focus other than bodyguard duties.

[Coyotl]

19. The bot army was dysfunctional tonight, that's for sure.

[Pluvious]

32. Wow, that is quite fascinating !

Thanks for sharing

30. Trumps Goon Squad

[Maru Kitteh]

31. Can you imagine if he actually won? The parade of goons and thugs?

The prawning, preening, strutting with a bunch of mouth-breathers following him about?
