Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, who came under scrutiny for the agency’s failure to prevent the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, has resigned.
She was criticized for failing to prevent the assassination attempt on Trump.
I was watching some of the congressional hearing yesterday and was astounded by how little information she had to offer. A truly scary display of incompetence. I’m sure there’s details that can’t be shared for the sake of national security but she couldn’t (or chose not to) even answer basic “what color is the sky” questions. Rep. Biggs asked her what the security perimeter was and she responded with “we’re asking those questions”. Huh??
I don’t believe there to be a conspiracy but, having watched her testimony, I certainly would not argue with anyone who believes there to be one. I wouldn’t argue with someone who believes an individual or portion of the USSS intentionally acted in a manner that put lives at risk.
Daaaannnnnng

I don’t believe it to be a conspiracy either. Not after this.

A bunch of Secret Service agents got fired over the course of those revelations, but that sort of incompetence and dereliction of duty is systemic.
And that was under Obama. No way it didn’t get even worse under Trump.
Good stuff. Thanks.
