Nancy Mace GOES OFF On Secret Service Cheatle on Trump shooting | LiveNOW from FOX

Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., told Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle that her response that she had “no idea” how her opening statement for today’s House Oversight Committee hearing on the Trump rally shooting got leaked to media agencies is “bulls---.”

“Would you say leaking your opening statement... several hours before you sent it to this committee as being political? Yes or no?” Mace asked Cheatle.

“I have no idea how my statement got out,” Cheatle responded.

“Well, that’s bulls---,” Mace replied, before mentioning news articles published between 5 and 7 a.m. ET, three hours before she said the House Oversight Committee received Cheatle's statement.

In other questioning from Mace, Cheatle responded “yes” when asked if the Trump rally shooting was a “colossal failure” and could have been prevented.

“Have you provided all audio and video recordings in your possession to this committee, as we asked on July 15th? Yes or no?” Mace said at one point.

“I would have to get back to you,” Cheatle responded.

“That is a no. You're full of s-- today. You're just being completely dishonest,” Mace told Cheatle.
Organizers for Trump’s campaign asked to use the site in Butler on July 3 before Secret Service agents showed up to scan the area on July 8, Ken Laughlin said to the newspaper.

"It just seemed like an awful quick turn around,” he said.

Trump's rally was supposed to be held at the Butler County Airport -- but the airport was already booked out for July 13 for the Penn Township Volunteer Fire Company’s annual Mega Cruise car show, according to Stephanie Saracco, the Butler County Airport Manager.

Trump held a rally at the airport on October 31, 2020 as President.

Former Department of Defense counterterrorism analyst Kara Frederick said on the 'The Faulkner Focus' Friday that the House hearing next week with the Secret Service’s director “should give us a lot of answers” surrounding the investigation of Trump rally shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks.

The House Oversight Committe is set to question Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle on Monday.

The hearing comes after Rep. Michael Waltz, R-Fla., said members of Congress were told this week that Crooks had three encrypted accounts on overseas platforms.

“As something I did for almost ten years with the government and then with a big tech company, what you do is you can extract data from these platforms,” Frederick said. “You can figure out who were these platforms that he was supposedly using – even if they were encrypted – who was he talking to, what are his IP addresses, can you geolocate him to those physical locations... was he using aliases?”

“There are people who are in the government – even who are outside of the government – who can work to exploit that information that those accounts would convey,” she added.
The House Committee On Oversight and Accountability has scheduled a hearing for Monday with Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, who is facing criticism and calls to resign from lawmakers over her agency's handling of the Trump rally shooting last weekend in Pennsylvania.

The hearing, titled "Oversight of the U.S. Secret Service and the Attempted Assassination of President Donald J. Trump," is set to unfold on Capitol Hill beginning at 10 a.m. ET Monday.

Cheatle is refusing to resign, but House Speaker Mike Johnston told FOX Business on Thursday that he is prepared to call on President Biden to fire her.

“Continuity of operations is paramount during a critical incident and U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has no intentions to step down. She deeply respects members of Congress and is fiercely committed to transparency in leading the Secret Service through the internal investigation and strengthening the agency through lessons learned in these important internal and external reviews,” Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement late Wednesday.

Cheatle was confronted by senators who were demanding answers when she showed up at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee this week.

"I accept full responsibility, but I'm not going to resign."

This wasn't incompetence. It was something FAR more sinister.

[Howard-Gods_servant]

People died and are hurt as a result. She (Kimberly A. Cheatle) needs to be held accountable for all people who were inured and died. She should be held for murder and not just removed from duty.

[lindadaniel]

I am a 64 year old retired teacher and grandmother who is watching this as I sit feeling shocked at how incompetent this lady is. Like a child she lies, desperate to try to control the situation. And then lies again and again and again. UN- believable the level of irresponsibility.

[gdreyer]

The head of the Secret Service doesn't know how her statement got leaked?! Really!? OMG, she must resign TODAY!

[AW-jxtd]

She has every right to be angry this lying woman!!!

[hankieski]

Nancy Mace represents the outrage that we all feel.

[sheilamcclellan]

How many innocent people have to die before someone is EVER held accountable? This is infuriating!

[philthycat]

She is responsible for the death of an innocent person. She should be heading to jail.

[karenfox]

Americans should not stand down on this. Arrest her and demand answers

[rachelp]

Jail, Immediately. Absolutely shocking incompetence and arrogance.

[onglinh]

She must be fired, she is not fit for this job.

[gpulogic]

She is covering up something much bigger. She is INVOLVED!

[kathythebluegoose]

She needs be arrested and investigated before all evidence is destroyed. This is how these people get away with mudder

[luke.]

Forget saying she should be fired, it's straight to jail for her immediately!!!

[reyfrancisco]

So, who thought she was going to give to Congress what was asked of her? I literally sat here for about 20 minutes because I was speechless at this incompetent individual behavior and lack of cooperation.

[MooncricketsInc]

So, this chick is in charge of the secret service, a person dies, two are injured, and a former president almost got killed, but she refuses to resign?
This is better than an episode of Springer
Edit:
She came to her senses and resigned today (July 23).

[JennaRight]

Cheatle needs to be fired immediately. This is disgusting.

[cents]

I’ve never seen someone so narcissistic just sit there and refuse to resign when they screwed up royally!!! She needs to be fired just for her poor attitude!

[Dr.RichardStroker]

Do not let this woman resign. Fire her!!! We will never be given any answers if she’s allowed to resign!

[davidcooksey]

Nancy is savage lol nicely done its about time someone from this admin is held accountable for anything.
