Trump's bodyguard becomes his long lost pal

Keith Schiller was never just a bodyguard. He's worked for Trump since 1999 and in nearly 20 years has become one of a handful of people outside of Trump's immediate family that the president truly trusts.

Schiller, a former NYPD officer who is beloved by the original staff from the Trump campaign, is also a Breitbart-style conservative who kept Trump in touch with the Republican base and with the law enforcement community.

"He's a winger! He's one of us," said another friend of Schiller's.

For the past eight months, Schiller has been the conduit linking Trump to his old life, and old friends, in New York City.

In the early, freewheeling days of this administration, Trump's old contacts had a method for getting around the Chief of Staff, Reince Priebus: If they wanted to reach Trump, they'd text Keith, and before too long they'd often receive a call from the president.

As Director of Oval Office Operations, Schiller oversaw what some aides regarded as a "shitshow." Nowadays, General Kelly tightly polices, and lists, who can visit the Oval; but Schiller operated more or less by gut instinct. He had a feeling for what Trump wanted at any given moment, whether the boss would want to see this person or whether he was in the right mood for visitors.

5. and who resigned right after news appeared of the first letter.

If he was that much of a "confident", you know Trump babbled to him about the real reasons for wanting to fire Comey.
Dunno why Schiller thought resigning would prevent the investigation from wanting to talk to him. In fact, the resignation just lit him up like a neon sign.

7. Wait a min...there is no way he could have got a WH house clearance?Apparently he didn't disclose

In 2013, New York state sued Schiller and his wife, Lena, for $3,030 in back taxes. The debt was satisfied nine months later. The Schillers also paid the IRS $50,330 in May 2013 to release a two-year-old lien on an apartment they owned on Outlook Avenue in the Bronx, according to New York City Department of Finance records. Six years earlier, on June 5, 2007, the IRS filed a $37,687.93 lien for back federal taxes on a property the Schillers owned in New Windsor, New York, according to state records. Two months later, a bank foreclosed on that property. Likewise in 2006, a judge foreclosed on a timeshare the Schillers owned at Disney’s BoardWalk Villas in Florida.
