Why did they throw the guy out of the White House without his jacket??

[kentuck]

Some guy named McEntee? He was the "Personal Assistant"...He had the magic markers when Trump was signing hats and flags and stuff.

He was with Trump a lot when he was on the road, campaigning or otherwise.

But then, they throw him out of the White House?

Why?

Rachel Maddow commented that he had been mistaken for Rob Porter at times?

What do you think happened?

[malaise]

1. His bookie must have called

Major gambling debts is what I heard and read.

[Wellstone ruled]

3. Income Tax problems.

You can not fool the IRS. Just a tow-for.

[malaise]

8. The Con has been fooling them for decades

Not sure about that.

[kentuck]

5. That's interesting.

But would the White House throw someone out for gambling debts? I never thought their standards were that high?

[malaise]

9. Taxes as well

14. Thanks malaise!

15. You're welcome

All crooks all the time

12. He couldn't get a security clearance so Trump sent him over to campaign HQ where they

found him a job.

[dixiegrrrrl]

21. Underlying $$$ issues meant he could not have a clearance.

Part of that sweep that Kelly announced.

The guy did zero, btw. When asked, he said his duties consisted of "ensuring the WH clocks were all put on Daylight Savings time"
and
"making sure he (trump) has all the colored folders he needs." or pens...I forget.

But nothing.
I am starting to wonder about Trump after all.

So Trump put him on the campaign, where he will have equally no duties but can be paid from the donations of others.

25. Usually the president's personal aide does a variety of things - much more than changing clocks and

carrying pens. While a lot of the work is grunt, a lot of it isn't and it's actually a very important job. And the people who have it can usually write their own tickets afterward.

But this president does so little work of any weight or use, his personal aide probably does little more than checking the color on his boss' folders.

2. Pure humilitation. just like trump did to others. He is sadistic

[dhol82]

4. Some issue with criminal financial stuff

Not sure who escorted him out of the WH but I doubt it was anybody under the instructions of dump.
The guy just got a new job with the glorious leader’s next campaign.
It’s just so fucking stupid.

[Angry Dragon]

6. He is now working on Trump campaign

[hellacia]

29. Trump made sure he continued to get an income

because he doesn't want him shopping around a book about what happens in the White House just to pay the bills. Also he'll have a ready supplyh of "campaign" cash to help him continue and embiggen his gambling habit, thus becoming even happier. Follow the money...

7. "serious financial crimes"

The Secret Service is investigating him, and came to the conclusion he needed to go, NOW. So naturally Trump made him a senior advisor of some sort on his 2020 campaign.

[kentuck]

10. Thanks!

What did he do in the past?

[RandomAccess]

11. LOL -- You're lucky I had THAT much info

I have no freaking idea

[kentuck]

16. Well, what kind of journalist are you?

[RandomAccess]

17. Clearly, an incompetent one

[kentuck]

18. I wonder how many journalists actually post here?

A few?

[RandomAccess]

19. I dunno -- haven't seen but one "former" and I forget

who that was.

I'm certainly not one, just to make sure you know.

[grantcart]

22. depends if you include the valuable award winning reporting that is included in the neighborhood

weekly shopper.

[Nevernose]

13. My guess is he was leaking info

To the press, or at least Trump thought he was. I know that there are allegations of online gambling and tax issues, but I wonder if that’s not just a smokescreen.

[mitch96]

23. " My guess is he was leaking info"

I think he was Muellers inside man.. Prolly had a get out of jail free card about his tax/money problems. Der tRumpenNazis found out and busted him.. my take anyway..

24. Thats just outright spy movie shit

I hadn’t gotten that far with it, but I hope you’re right. It would explain why DHS is investigating him and not one of ten other, more logical agencies.

I was guessing media leak because my anecdotal gut feeling told me there had been a lot of stuff being given to the WSJ lately and this guy’s firing was a story first broken by he WSJ.

I hope that we’re both right.

[EffieBlack]

26. If that were the case, I doubt he would be given a job on the campaign. He'd be out on his butt. nt

[Nevernose]

28. But does he still have that job?

Or will they quietly take that away, too? Giving him a job on the campaign might be the Trump WH’s ham-fisted attempt at a cover up or placating him.

Trump fired his bodyguard, too, and he was the closest thing a sociopath like Trump could have. Thirty years, and then he answered Russia investigation questions honestly.

Just theories.

20. Caught watching Stormy Daniels videos

On White House computer?

[bullimiami]

27. Had to hurry to his campaign job. No time to grab jacket. Nothing to see here.

Just another coffee boy.
