  1. He has to retire in order not to loose all his pension and other stuff for being The Assistant Director… He found a loophole just like others have done in the past and will do in the present… 🧐

    1. @The Tweatles @ use your words. Who told you emojis were cool? Not even a clever rebus. Childish picture book, to go with your colour in book. Remember between the lines dear.

    2. @The Tweatles ohhh! Isn’t this William what’s your name, the fake music writer’s trash talking account?

    1. @Chris Kredlo “Integrity” like Donald Trump? …and his defenders? Yeah, that’s sure “integrity” all right.

    1. GOP ..there are some RINOS!! that’s got to go. Mitch McConnell is old and getting older .. He’s got to go.

    1. @Chips Dad what does Christ have to do with this, and why would I want to attack a politician. So many so little time.

    2. JJ W, so what is it that he learned from Trump? Of course your stance is, “Trump did no wrong” but somehow finds himself up to his nose in legal issues unlike any other President in history 🤣🤣🤣

    3. @Cal Thomas who is the ” he” you think learned something from Trump? As for legal issues, that kind of like Russia Russia, Russia . Same old same old.

    1. and replacing their phones! Hear the new 🍎phone due out. Elon had a phone in the works also. Hmmm, T-Mobile or AT&T?🤔

    2. They keep asking…would be interesting to know where he will work on his next job….will he be working for trump ??

    1. Better raid Bedminster, possibly exhume Ivana’s Ashes with that timing who knows what secrets got burried???

    2. @Nate Carte if Trumpy get convicted, who’s he gonna guard, the door, better get his salary up front.

  2. Tony, let me explain something here. I don’t care if you quit your job. I don’t care if you move in with a friend and forget to tell anyone where you are. I don’t even care if you change your name and move to Mars, it’s too late. You’ve already been ratted out by dozens of your co-workers who took the fed’s offer weeks and months ago. So it’s a shame, Tony, but you are toast and need to get over it.

    1. Actually, I would accept his moving to Mars. He can room with Elon Musk until one of them kills the other, then eats him. I’m betting on Elon.

  3. He isn’t the only one that needs to go, any of them that are openly pro Trump need to go. These guys are supposed to remain neutral. Lets clean house up there.

    1. @American At Heart Is that the laptop that Tucker Carlson said Fox had,but “it got lost in the post “ when they sent it ( as if if you had such a thing,you wouldn’t make a copy,and would just post this vital bit of “evidence” around the country 🤦‍♂️🤡🤣) …
      Is the laptop you’re talking about..?

    2. @Gene Shade I’m pretty sure hunter’s laptop wasn’t mentioned specifically. FBI just told Facebook to watch for Russian propaganda. Could be coincidence maybe not. From everything I read, there was nothing that implicated Joe in Hunter’s shady dealings outside some vague references to try he big guy. How many kids have tossed influential famous or wealthy parent’s name about to try and weasel deals?

  4. Retiring won’t save him from the consequences of putting Trump over his duties to the constitution and country.

  5. Unless he testifies under oath, take away his pension. I’m pretty sure an ex secret service agent will gladly take a job as a high school janitor.

  6. The criminal behavior of those in important positions of public trust should receive the most severe consequences. Ornato is deeply involved in the insurrection.

    1. @Jeremy S Unfortunately trolls are always present when crucial matters are being discussed. It’s best to ignore them.

  7. Now he’s a citizen. Subpoena him. It’s sad what they’ve been put through. Everything this country has been founded on is crumbling. Didn’t expect to see it in my lifetime. 😔

    1. @Melting Pot 6 weeks ago the service Agents made statement through their Lawyers and the Select Committee was notified. There are also Agents who have gone on FOX News and Sky News Australia, TF Global and NewsMax..

    2. @SUN STAR then they will have no issues with follow up testimony in front of the committee then will they?

  8. Be needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
    When found guilty of his plethora of treasonous acts and betrayal of his oath of service should be stripped of all fiscal government benefits.

    1. Prosecuted, fullest extent of the law, guilty, plethora, treasonous, betrayal, oath & service, stripped of benefits. I think you left some out.

  9. It looks like he’s trying to save his retirement benefits before information comes out that leads to a termination with zero benefits.

  10. Ornato should be investigated for Treason.
    The idea that ANY govt employee wouldn’t consider their Oath more important than partisanship, is no less indictable than the Toebbe family charge of espionage.

    1. That includes all of the Republican senators who refused to impeach Trump in both his impeachment trials protecting the party instead of living up to their oaths.
      That sentiment has been repeated over and over again in the January 6th committees opening comments and closing statements.
