Secret Service Official at Center of Probe Retires

"Tony Ornato, the senior Secret Service official who served as a top aide in Donald Trump’s White House and faced scrutiny from the Jan. 6 select committee earlier this summer, announced his retirement Monday,” Politico reports.

“The agency confirmed Ornato’s retirement, which was announced internally earlier in the day. He’s the latest high-level official in the Secret Service to announce his departure in recent weeks. Spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi said Ornato — who joined the Secret Service in 1997 — became eligible for retirement earlier this year and leaves the agency in good standing.”

I wonder what one would have to do to leave the Secret Serivce in bad standing?

In my opinion, Tony Ornato was a much worse Secret Service agent than William Greer and Roy Kellerman, who have been severely criticized for their slow reaction to shooting during a Presidential motorcade escorted by backfiring motorcycles.

Now that Donnie is about to be indicted for espionage, it will be interesting to know what Pence told the grand jury about January 6th.
