cut to yesterday when she said she was the most fit person for this position.... she should of just resigned yesterday before she said that shit.

[perropulgoso]

The incompetence of a federal agency at its worst.

[tomodonovan]

It kind of makes one wonder just exactly what she was being paid to do or not do.

[wafflemon]

She didn't have a chance the way she was answering questions.

[woodstocknation]

She needs to be held accountable. Arrest her interrogate her and make her tell her TRUTH the whole TRUTH and nothing but the TRUTH

[divindave]

Good. Now Trump won't have to fire her when he takes office in January.

[houserhouse]

I don't want her to take responsibility. I want her to tell us who's responsible!

[dougdorsten]

Our government in any form is sickening

[GJ_Brown]

This hearing and everything before, during and after and tomorrow is a 3-ring circus.

Anyone see the video from the window beside the AGR building? Clear view of entire roof.

[masterkinglee]

She should be investigated and prosecuted!

[lwnuufx]

She was the fall guy. A failure of this magnitude was definitely not on a single individual alone but this helps shift the blame off of others

[RalferiusRex]

She resigned after her disastrous non-testimony, not the attempted assassination.

[markwebb]

Make her security detail head director for Harris...please.

[triplebog]

Saying that she "Acknowledged the failures" is a generous statement. She barely ackowledged anything

[hairenheight]

You were the fall guy, your staff knew better, they wanted you out, PERIOD!

[RobertoSiffredi-xync]

She resigned 'in the best interest of herself.' LOL

[MH_]

She needs to forfeit her pension and banned from working for the Federal Government in any capacity.

[UltimegaSeven]

This is not the win people think it is. She took a bullet for the person truly responsible. She will find another well paying job somewhere else because of it
