Keith Schiller, The Longtime Trump Bodyguard-Aide Who Told James Comey He Was Fired, Is Quitting

Is this not Trump's oldest and most loyal friend?
20 years is a long time.

first i've heard of his name but if Gorka is right

his admin has been hijacked..


I personally think they may be blackmailing him..

you don't know much about Trump if you don't know the guy's name and FACE.

Absolutely...Schiller began working for Trump as Director of Security in 2004. This is a major resignation of a long time Trump loyalist.

Here’s something whose timing is either a remarkable coincidence, or a sign that Donald Trump’s firing of James Comey was even more suspicious than previously known. Donald Trump hired his longtime personal bodyguard Keith Schiller to a White House security position, then used him to personally deliver the news to James Comey’s office that he’d been fired. Of course Comey wasn’t in his office, and was instead across the country in California that day, and Trump probably knew that. The move always stuck out as suspicious: why would anyone, even someone as whacked out as Trump, send his own bodyguard to deliver a firing letter to an FBI Director who wasn’t even there?

This does not mean that Keith Schiller did anything wrong or illegal himself. It’s possible that he’s seen the new revelation about the two firing letters, and he’s simply concluded that it’s too messy for him to want to remain in that role, or perhaps he’s now feeling like Trump used him.

The real story, is that Donald Trump and Stephen Miller wrote a letter explaining Comey’s firing, but that White House counsel Don McGahn rejected it – and so deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein wrote a different letter. Mueller now has Trump’s first, unsent letter. Whatever is in it, it must be so ugly that the guy who delivered the second letter is immediately resigning from the White House, and that guy is Keith Schiller.

Either we’re looking at one of the most remarkable coincidences of the entire Trump era, or Keith Schiller has resigned in response to the news that Mueller has both letters. Trump sent Schiller to deliver what we now know to have been the second version of the letter, written by acting Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, which documented all of Comey’s supposedly fire-able offenses.

This resignation really is incredible news, since Schiller is Tump's more loyal, longest serving and most trusted assistance. You can bet there is a serious back story to this one.

Schiller knows there’s more to come. He took today’s NYT story as a sign that the real bombshell regarding the two letters is about to drop. He surely knows that resigning won’t get him off any legal hook as a potential suspect or witness. Seemingly, his only motive for resigning is to get away from Trump before the other shoe drops. Is Schiller the one who gave Trump’s first letter to Robert Mueller?

Also, see this about the two Comey firing letters. Schiller knows both of them well.

Thread: BREAKING: Mueller Has Early Draft of Trump Letter Giving Reasons for Firing Comey

Wow,...this is really a bomshell. Schiller has worked for Donald Trump for 15 years and is his closest and most trusted staffer. There's been a lot of WH staff fired or resigned, but this one is puzzling.

Something is about to happen. Or maybe Schiller has been an FBI mole all along and he is getting out for his own safety before a major Mueller shoe drops.

Might even want to say...


...and so it begins.

Seriously? You never heard of Keith Schiller?

You don't know much about Donald Trump, do you?

Donald Trump would do well to pray in anticipation of some surprised that Mueller has for him, now that Trump's long time Director of Security just quit.

Ok, so you are saying that CNN "made up" the fact that Keith Schiller has abruptly resigned?

Is this the same person, with different IPs, replying to himself?

Keith Schiller is probably a closet liberal like Bannon and Trump found him out. Good riddance.

In my simple understanding, the first letter shouldn't matter. It wasn't used. He properly sought legal advice from the right place and was advised that it should not be used. But there were plenty of other reasons that could be used, and were. Rosenstein's letter is very convincing, and on its own it is far more than enough.

It doesn't become invalid or suspicious because there were even more reasons that were not in that letter.

they could have.. who knows

Here's a very non-suspicious explanation. It's very normal to fire someone when they are out of the office. It's basically standard corporate practice, so they don't have access to destroy or alter things on the way out. Reince Priebus was fired the same way. And Trump doesn't give a clue when he's about to fire someone. I've seen this over and over in the corporate world, sometimes even against me.

Since Trump knew he could not trust people at the FBI or didn't even know them, he sent someone he could trust to lock up the office, disable access to computer accounts, and otherwise secure Comey's work materials which are the property of the US government. Makes perfect sense.

As to why Schiller quit now, I don't know and so I cannot rule out a connection such as you suspect. But aside from that, the firings seemed just normal and competently done.

Maybe you could tell Keith Schiller that he didn't really quit? Actually, he under the hallucinatory influence of a false CNN story and he is actually still working for Trump.

You really are a special kind of brainwashed nutcase, aren't you?

So after burning through a chief of staff, a chief strategist, a press secretary and three communications directors, Donald Trump could be losing his professional security muscle who has worked for him since 2005, and is resigning very abruptly?

You sure fart out of your mouth a lot.

There is more precedent for CNN making up bullshit and reporting it as news than there is for CNN reporting actual real news.

A would not have expected aq expect a more coherent or convincing rebuttal from a politically correct Trump cultist, apart from anal analogies.

You're welcome.

I would find it interesting and possibly humorous to hear from one of the TrumpBot cult regarding a Trump praising reason for Keith Schiller's sudden resignation.

A politically correct one, of course.

Yes. And again on Friday. Doesn't look good.

Hahahahahahahahahaha

You've been watching WAYYYYYYY to much Maddow buddy

Literally one of the most ridiculous conspiracies of the Left I've ever read

It's not illegal to fire the director of the FBI who he himself admitted under oath was asked by the then acting attorney general to obstruct justice involving Hillary. Also not against the law to fire him after clearing Hillary BEFORE ANY INVESTIGATION WAS DONE. It's not illegal for his security officer to deliver a letter to the acting attorney general...are you insane!?

do you not understand how President Trumps tweets are always so prophetic?

It's because he allready knows the whole story...they always did.

Why is Schiller resigning? And why now?

It does not matter why he is resigning

The same is still true, 1 trump cannot be charged with a crime..

two, there is no such thing as obstruction of justice

Trump can legally fire comey for any reason he wants.

Its his constitutional duty, Comey serves at the Pleasure

of the POTUS not to mention the fact that Comey testified

under oath that Trump was not under investigation and that

Comey said Trump did not attempt to obstruct his investigation in any way.

General Clark is flushing the turds one by one. Impressive.

Well for Trump's closest and most loyal aide of 13 years to suddenly resign, there are only a few explanations.

Maybe Trump went on some unhinged, profanity laced rant at Schiller for some minor reason and Schiller just decided he couldn't take it any more, as has been the case with other Trump staffers.

But more likely this has something to do with the discovery of the initial unedited Comey firing letter, written by Donald Trump and Stephen Miller, before it was edited by Rosenstein. That could be very damaging and if so, Schiller would want to get far away from Trump before he goes down.

And regarding the revelation of that first letter:

Ty Cobb, a White House lawyer, declined on Friday to discuss the letter or its contents. “To the extent the special prosecutor is interested in these matters, we will be fully transparent with him,” he said.

Nobody but Donald Trump could "flush" Trump's most trusted and loyal staff member, his personal body guard of 14 years, Keith Schiller.

And he didn't...Schiller abruptly resigned.
