Like Flies

President Donald Trump's longtime aide [bodyguard] and current director of Oval Office operations Keith Schiller has told people he intends to leave the White House, three sources familiar with the decision told CNN.

[...]

Schiller's potential departure will leave Trump without one of his most loyal and trusted aides at his side at a time of tumultuous change at the White House. Schiller has been a constant presence at Trump's side for nearly two decades and was among a handful of aides from Trump's previous life as a businessman to follow Trump onto the campaign trail and into the White House.

Story is that he's not making enough money at $165,000 when he was making $294,000 at Trump Org and his own private security firm.

At least it's more original than needing to spend time with his family.
The sources stressed that Schiller's reasoning was primarily financial, but one source said Schiller has also grown frustrated with the new system installed by White House chief of staff John Kelly aimed at restricting access to the President. Schiller has complained that he must call into the White House switchboard to reach Trump over the phone, one source said.
In other words, Kelly make get the boot before Schiller leaves, and he can then ask for a raise? Or is it something else?
The former New York Police Department detective was entrusted with one of the most sensitive and controversial decisions of Trump's presidency, delivering a letter to FBI headquarters notifying then-FBI Director James Comey that Trump had decided to fire him.
I wonder if this is related to this morning's Trump tweet:




...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
