an interesting article discussing the friction between official, government Secret Service assigned to protect newly-elected President Trump and his own private, personal security team (plural!), which he apparently has had for years. Haven't seen or read much about it until his personal bodyguard delivered the letter to Comey's office. That, by the way, was very Luca Brasi-esque.
