SHE MUST BE FIRED AND WHO EVER MADE THAT DECISION OF 12 TO JILL AND 3 TO TRUMP MUST BE FIRED.

[michelevk]

Kimberly Cheatle needs to be taken into custody and charged with criminal negligence, dereliction of duty, obfuscation during a Senate Hearing, and

[captain]

The congressman is right, there should be more people fired from that disgraceful agency

[matthewjamison]

She's been dodging questions & not holding press conferences to not *INCRIMINATE HERSELF*

[rebelrouserr]

The more I learn about, the more I see how corrupt the system is

[psychospyder]

The best part was the way he kept referring to President Trump, "The former and future President".

[turkrane]

Evil as evil can be, a Mayorkas wannabe

[antirnator]

Kimberly: "We failed but didn't do anything wrong."

[irvingberlin-oh]

Correction: They weren't failures... everything happened as the DHS planned except that Trump lived.

[cindygriffin]

We need to treat both
Cheatle and Wray the same way. Throw them in jail for contempt of Congress.

[kevinlee]

She need to serve a long jail sentence for perjury!!!!

[yasdnilknarf]

The level of incompetence by the Secret Service, FBI and local law enforcement is astonishing.

[letsbereal]

Can you imagine how the media would be exploding if this had happened to a Democratic nominee under a Republican president?

[chiefline]

I don’t agree with her resigning. She should be jailed

[RogerSmith-lclo]

When incompetent and corrupt people are in charge….

[GiGiLuvsKatz]

Her “allocation, ” sure stinks like rotten fish!

[cowboy]

The fact that she is getting away with not answering Congress is incredible. Her behavior should result in incarceration for contempt.

[msrene]

The gentleman asking the questions is 100% spot on.

[Glogio]

Remove this person and mayorkas immediately!

[begooddrest]

She’s obviously in on it. She’s the secret service director, she knows the answers to these questions.
