Behind the scenes of James Comey‘s epic firing

Keith Schiller, President Donald Trump‘s pugnacious former bodyguard who now sits sentry outside the Oval Office doors, was at the law enforcement agency armed with a bombshell message from his longtime boss to FBI Director James Comey: „You are hereby terminated and removed from office.“
Schiller emerged from the building just short of an hour later, the manila folder gone. By then, the stunning intent of his visit to the FBI was known, and the ramifications of a sitting president firing the man investigating his campaign‘s ties to Russia were reverberating across Washington.
