I can't help wondering what he might have to say if he were forced to tell the truth. During his tenure working for Trump he had to be aware of some of Trump's squirreling documents in boxes and toting these boxes hither and yon on all his trips. Maybe not the same boxes each time, but Trump liked to have some of this "stuff" with him. I wonder if he's suddenly retiring after being visited by the FBI. Are they asking him questions about his role in acquiring them?
I might be wrong but I can't help thinking everybody that close in Trump's circle is dirty.

(7,805 posts)the coup and MAL document-gate...He was a Trump loyalist, so much so he "double dipped": Trump's Secret Service detail and deputy assistant to the president..more than likely he was tasked by Trump to remove Pence from the Capital on January 6, not to insure Pence's safety but to insure Pence would be off-site, unable to certify the election..and, because Trump is/was a paranoid fuck and trusted almost no one, I suspect Ornato was charged with the "packing up", sifting through the documents and removing them from the White House
The guy has lawyered up for a reason...
