This is absolutely SICKENING. How DARE the new Director of the Secret Service get pissed off over the questions of Congress! He should have his tail between his legs and express nothing more than regret and humility over the massive and numerous egregious failures of the Secret Service to defend Pres. Trump. Each and every member of the Secret Service assigned to that Butler, PA event MUST be fired and face further prosecution.

So, basically Secret Service are throwing the State and local Police under the bus!

Durbin looks like he is struggling to read his speech

[mikeford]

Waste of time and money we all know what happened

Grilled???😂😂😂 treated with kid gloves more like. No senator wonts to end up on 'the list' 🤣🤣🤣

What's the opposite of transparency? Cloaked in secrecy id say. Neither agency is asking any questions of themselves because they know the answers. That's why they won't answer any.

[whitebird]

Won’t rush to judgment but will throw the support police under the bus. 🙄

Senator Hawley is such a fabulous advocate of the people, time after time. Superb.👍

Big question.... why wasn't everyone on the same channel that day. The horse shit of every agency thinking they are smarter then the next not wanting to share information with each other needs to stop. This is why days like this happen and we can clearly see the lack of communication is why we got to this point then comes the finger pointing and dragging out a 1000 story's of why and if only... sad

How strange, the dad giving a young boy a gun. I still feel it could have been prevented and had surveillance been followed, procedure could he have be charged with Taser, imo and still be alive, imo?

[richparsons]

Thank God for Sen. Josh Hawley for his firm questioning of the S Serv Dir. despite his dodging and excuses. As Hawley points out, it is nearly 2 weeks since the shooting…and, still, NOBODY has been fired! The excuse is that agents are being questioned. Questions should have been asked and answers provided the SAME DAY, July 13th!

That's because they're lying and this guy is lying his butt off

[johnlasseigne]

How could the shooter have known this was the unsecured building? You're telling me he just got lucky that this was the ONE building that was overlooked??

Maxwell yearick van had explosives in it near the rally and was initially in the news it’s gone now, journalist have gone to his family’s house and they said they are not allowed to talk, he was a sniper for Ukraine from America and was seen at the rally, he has gone missing since the 13 of July very 🤨 some one needs to bring this up

[robertmichel]

Oh my God Durbin said he's looking for the truth Durban doesn't want the truth Durban knows the truth will destroy them

[earllannum]

How long will this remain unresolved? We must put this case in a bullseye.

[dankrzeminski]

My buddies and I have better coms during a deer drive.

[philjo]

The only thing these guys are committed to is covering their asses!

[jtpaulann]

The biggest question of all is why was Trump allowed to take the stage when they knew they had a threat think about it what is your answer

Poor Tommy crooks is Dead. RIP little guy.
