Democrats and Republicans call on Cheatle to resign ​

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., called on Cheatle to resign, along with other Republican lawmakers.

But Democrats called for her resignation as well, including Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., who said, "If you have an assassination attempt on a president or a former president or a candidate, you need to resign."

Cheatle has maintained that she will not resign, and said she is committed to getting answers on the massive security failure for the American people.

Watch now as she will be used as a scapegoat and forced out, but will get a nice fat pension for life. Then, some big tech firm or such will hire her and pay her handsomely.

It’s happened a thousand times before.

Probably waiting on a good offer, I like the idea of her going back to guard Doritos!

She also attempted to explain to the committee that her agency was unaware of a suspicious threat during the rally, despite the public pointing to a man on a roof minutes before former President Trump was shot.

They deleted the radio record so no one knows what was said.

More proof that Trump was setup for assassination by the SS.

Cheatle has provided no reason why she should remain on the job.
Her lack of knowledge about what happened after nine days is inexcusable

 

[pknopp]

From her history she most likely was qualified. She had a major screw up under her leadership though and should have been fired.

Again, it's sad, people see a female or minority working above a menial role and simply can't accept they are qualified.

They kind of thinking must be rough on the knuckles.

Leaders are judged on how they respond after a major screw up.

Which would have been a localized thing, rather than a whole secret service thing.

That may be how you feel -
Luckily half the country stills believes in meritocracy.
That will make a giant return in January.

No one knew her name that morning, if she had acted remotely competently, we still wouldn't.

Interesting…is it true the SS pulls agents away from Trump to protect the First Lady?


As for the performance of the Secret Service, the number of shooters and the backstory about the attempted assassin itself, there are many questions that require further investigation and analysis. For one thing, there are reports that the Service was shorthanded because it had to assign its best agents to another event that day by Jill Biden in Pittsburgh. Was this a deliberate attempt to draw off agents? One commentator thinks it was suspiciously so.

Here’s… the White House press release that announced Jill Biden’s trip to Pittsburgh on the evening of Saturday, July 13th, to address the Italian Sons and Daughters of America dinner. Note the date is July 10th, and the time is 11:58 a.m. Pre-credentialed media had but two days to sign up to accompany her. Judging by the lack of pool reports, it appears she traveled without a press contingent. Her speech was brief and personal -- relating more to her Italian heritage than stumping for votes. It was about 10 minutes in duration, and she spoke ever so briefly about Joe and his accomplishments -- only three sentences [snip]
There’s no indication she stayed for the dinner. Probably she took some photos, gave her speech, and then left. Her total time on the ground was maybe an hour and a half. Why? Why such a short, apolitical trip, to that area at that time?

Why indeed.
The earliest public announcement I’ve seen of Former President Trump’s now infamous rally at the Butler Farm Show Grounds, roughly 40 miles from Pittsburgh, was the evening of July 3rd, ten days before the attempted assassination in the evening of July 13th.



Ten days is a reasonable amount of time for a presidential candidate to alert the public of his plans to address them in person. Trump’s campaign clearly was acting reasonably with their preparations for his appearance in Butler.

What a Week!

I think it is outrageous when a highly-placed executive is publicly called on the carpet, and the executive has no answers for questions that were 100% predictable.

It is a sign of stupidity, a lack of courage, and disrespect for the audience.

This applies to political debates, Congressional hearings, and press conferences. "I'll have to get back to you,..." is satisfactory for unexpected questions, or for questions where details are not readily available, but for questions that the witness knows are coming, it is not acceptable.

She should be fired.

No that much, especially after seeing what Harris and Xiden admin did

Not "lack of knowledge" actively participating in a coverup.

Cheatle perjured herself before Congress

~S~

She said that she hadn't seen the hearings where the university presidents were all excoriated over their lack of response to keeping students safe - which led to all of their resignations.

She incorrectly answered - he stayed on - when asked about H. Stuart Knight - who immediately resigned after Reagan was shot.

I'm sure that there was perjury in there, though she actually answered almost no questions.
