'Were you guessing or lying?' Jim Jordan grills US Secret Service Director

In a tense congressional hearing, Rep. Jim Jordan questioned Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle about discrepancies in statements regarding security requests for former President Trump.

Cheatle defended the agency’s decisions, emphasizing the complexity of security operations and the alternative measures sometimes employed.

Jordan expressed frustration over the apparent changes in the official narrative and the lack of clear answers about how many times additional security requests were denied.

Do YOU think Kimberly Cheatle should resign?

[djy]

Jim Jordan is savage and holds people accountable. Good American 👍

[paulburick]

This is a terrible time. Sick to my stomach.

[paulinechernick]

Sounds like Mayorkas in her response. Both should be fired for incompetence and malfeasance.

Everyone admits that not covering the rooftop was a colossal failure. But how did a 20 yr. old kid know to exploit that failure? It only works if it was planned.

[dewayneblue]

This level of gross incompetence, is what you get when you hire a Director to check DEI boxes, instead of hiring Directors from a pool of experienced elite Secret Service agents as they used to do.

Liars always talk in circles when they are confronted with the truth!

Every answer they ever give is a generic answer. I don’t know why we waste the public’s time with these farcical hearings. They prep for these hearings by coming up with a million different ways not to answer a question. I can only imagine a normal citizen under oath at a trial giving these kinds of noncommittal answers. Why are they not fired when they refuse to answer questions under oath. They present themselves to be too important to answer mere questions. I want a job like that. Do exactly what you want to do. Never answer to anyone for your actions and tell Congress and the American people that it’s none of their business if they have questions. Its amazing that Congress have never thrown a glass of water at one of them.

She should NOT be able to leave that building untill she gives a straight answer.

Why isn't CNN and msnbc showing this live? Interesting. Can't imagine why 😮!?

[rayclutts]

Intentionally incompetent. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle should go back to Pepsi if they would take her.

[TheBuckeye]

She shouldn't be allowed to resign, She should be FIRED IMMEDIATELY!!!! She did not answer a single question with any real information or honesty. Just like Trump used to say on his TV program "Your Fired".

[Sic]

Oh wow, the incompetence in this woman how much she’s deflecting not answering the question she should be fired just off the basic principles

[evasmith]

The families need to sue cheatle and the agency.

[beaversixniner]

She simply doesn’t care about We the People. She works for Jill

[stevereed]

How did she get this job? Who is responsible for hiring her?

[michaelangelo]

Mayorkas her boss claims he protects the border when he does not. She’s not that different

[garyt-ofyb]

DID SHE ANSWER ONE QUESTION JIM? SHE SAYS WHAT SHE WANTS RELATED TO ANYTHING SHE WANTS!

[ronaldolson]

I don’t know all the details, but……..REALLY, why did she turn down requests for more assets?

[darlenegoodall]

Shes best friends of frumpy jill..its how she even got the job.
