Turnip to keep private henchman as security +Secert Service

1
Turnip reportedly is going to keep his aggressive loyal private security henchmen along with the Secret Service to protect him and his family.
President-elect Donald Trump reportedly plans to stick with members of his aggressive private security crew of loyal retired ex-cops and former FBI agents, and won’t rely solely on the Secret Service in the White House, according to Politico.

That would be a major break with tradition and raises fears that the future president could be surrounded by a cadre of strong-arm bodyguards who take an extremely hard line on protesters. The private pack has accompanied Trump on his tour of “thank you” rallies, where the bodyguards have roughly ejected protesters from venues.

The private security team is led by Trump supporter and registered Republican Keith Schiller, a retired New York cop, who was videotaped during the presidential campaign apparently punching a protester who was trying to retrieve protest signs Schiller had ripped from his hands. That incident sparked a lawsuit by five protesters against Schiller, other members of the security team and Trump.

In a conference call with reporters on Monday, Trump spokesman Jason Miller called the Politico story “complete nonsense,” and said it was “blowing [the issue] out of proportion.” But he also said Trump would continue to be surrounded by longtime supporters like Schiller, “who has been an absolute fantastic ally.”

If memory serves, the Secret Service has had some fairly high profile 'embarrassments' over the last decade. From a White House breach into the East Room to the prostitution scandal in Colombia, among others… Seems any president wouldn't mind an extra layer of security, at least until the Secret Service can get its act together.

The Secret Service likes to control all guns in the presidents locality. If something would happen, they may start shooting Trumps mercs. I imagine each merc will undergo sever vetting.
