Firm owned by Trump's longtime bodyguard Keith Schiller has received $225,000 from RNC

KEY POINTS:

The RNC has continued to pay Keith Schiller $15,000 a month, long after the purpose of his initial contract had been completed.

A month after the RNC began paying Schiller, he testified before the House Intelligence Committee about Trump’s 2013 trip to Moscow.

The RNC quietly stopped paying both John Pence ($12,000/month), the Vice President’s nephew, and rent at Trump Tower ($37,500/month) after CNBC inquired about the payments.

DNC Press Release

By Christina Wilkie

A company owned by Keith Schiller, President Donald Trump’s former longtime bodyguard, has received $225,000 from the Republican National Committee for security consulting since he left his job as White House director of Oval Office operations in September 2017, according to interviews and newly released campaign filings.

Schiller was originally hired by the RNC to help select a site for the 2020 convention. But once the city of Charlotte, North Carolina, was announced in July, Schiller’s firm was kept on to “work on other security needs for the committee,” a party official told CNBC, speaking on the condition of anonymity in order to share information that was not included in campaign filings.

The official declined to go into detail about what the committee’s security needs might be but confirmed that the work is ongoing.

Omarosa was offered the same amount of money (for her silence) but she didn't accept it. She wrote a book instead. The Trump campaign called it a "salary" but she didn't have to actually show up at the job or do anything for the money. What does that sound like to any of us? Keith Schiller knows a LOT more than anyone else about Chump.

was offered hookers in Russia at the hearing when he testified. And he did it "unsolicited" - he brought it up before they could.

Many people didn't pick-up on this. That means that Trump knows for a fact that "someone else" - whoever that may be - has provided testimony or has evidence that Trump was, at minimum, offered hookers. This adds even greater plausibility to there being a tape of the encounter between Trump and the hookers. Now, the question is - how did the US get the information about the hookers? The same source Steel got it from, most likely. You can be certain, US intelligence independently verified the claim that Trump was offered hookers, and its probably because of "double agents" and whatnot that we have in Russia. Same place Steel got it from.
