Forbes has the best reporting on this today by far. Everyone else is too busy chatting about the election.

[pforce]

This women knows nothing. She is the Sergeant Schultz of the Secret service.

[granthornin]

She's a director who isn't directing or she's lying. This is criminal negligence at best that resulted in the death of a human being. Not just fired. Jailed.

[MrPaultopp]

I’m glad she didn’t resign…Now the world is able to see / hear her lie, deceive, evade questions, dodge questions, and try to wriggle out of situation…….Her arrogance and word salads are unbelievable….A traitor to the Americans and the world.
This is also a slap in the face to the victims of that day …..

[brandonmuier]

Its all the black suits behind her with still hands and no faces that are a bigger problem

[lizziebasumatary]

She’s beating around the bush. She’s a disgrace. In the first place how did she even get the job

[ruthhaynes]

Incredible lack of emotion or care or compassion. Reminds me of Mayorkis

[pilfamilypf]

Something fishy about this lady !!!
Jill’s BFF

[josephboyce]

Whistle blowers are going to be too frightened to come forward. These are dark times.

[kevinwestrom]

She is completely dodging & dancing around any & all questions, not answering ever a single question.

[leadlefthand]

"I appreciate the question" has become the euphemism for "I'll do my best not to answer your question while sounding as polite and respectful as I can be"

[YourFoodBank]

I hope Republicans actually charge ahead with this, and don’t make it some sort of theater for the cameras about her and then it all peters out

[msbutler]

I doubt Cheatle could secure my 1/4 acre lot and 2000 sq ft suburban home. She is totally inept.

[martincalero]

"Heroic act?" Nah, one of the Wonder Women hunkered down USING TRUMP AS SHIELD.

[aaronfarley]

Whoever is the actual site security planner and manager!!! It’s not that bloody hard!!!

[megawalk]

Its not scary that the congress is angry, its scarier that both party members of the house are in agreement, she has to go.

[bwtv]

She has heard Democrats defend Mayorkas and expected the same for herself. The Democrats are not defending her.. She is toast.

[vinniebarusa]

2:00 - “Did they go up to him? Did they talk to him?” and she doesn’t know. How do you not know that after nine days?

[jamestickle]

Now I hope Trump gets elected just to get these details released!

[WhoisU_]

She knows nothing because shes who they are throwing under the bus. Someone has to take the fall and be seen as the villian to the public. Theres other people using her to hide themselves
