Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigns

Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned a day after she testified before the House Oversight Committee on the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, CBS News confirms. Cheatle faced tense questions on Capitol Hill Monday about her agency's failure to secure the site of the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where an armed man targeted the former president. CBS News' Nikole Killion and Scott MacFarlane have the latest.

She was totally unqualified for this position.

Apparently she is protecting something bigger and would rather not answer and resign - after all, we need a commission of inquiry

No more DEI. You either earn it or you don't...

Why do women and children get to leave first during an emergency?
So that the men can think of a solution. Adios lady.

[ParticleLarry]

Why does Biden get to appoint another secret service director when he appointed this one?

Alejandro: "Damn it, Kim! You said the Kid could Shoot Straight!"

[frijoli]

Should have been fired. She is a disgrace, her team was a disgrace. When you have a suspicious person you WATCH that person so they can't BECOME a threat.

[gechli]

In similar situation, her counterpart in Japan would bow low in public apologizing profusely, or even commit suicide. And she had the gall to say that she was the best even after the assassination attempt!

Remove as well all diversity hires who do not meet the required competency standards.

[adamrasmussen-zh]

She would rather resign than give answers that mean she’s knows something

[mrradman]

9 days overdue. Hopefully forfeiture of pension and she must still be required to assist with the investigation into the attempted assassination.

[duncanstewart]

Does she have a deputy to take over one assumes? Now they report that the snipers assigned to the AGR roof at Butler farm was too hot and they went inside after Trump was an hour late.

[Nguyen]

she has 10 millions in the bank, i just wonder where that money come from!!!

[keithstump]

She was clearly unqualified for the office. Investigate how and why she got the job!

[NghiaNguyen-qqyx]

she only resigned because they said they were going to subpoena her phone records.

[nicholasweston]

Out with the DEI and in with someone who can actually do the job no matter who they are!!!!

[gabos]

"This is why you don't put women in positions of power" - God

[BWOUTDOORS]

SHOULD BE FIRED SPO SHE WILL NOT GET PAID EACH MONTH.

[rlhilliard]

Pressure too much? Good! We deserve the truth for once. A suspicious person IS a threat until proven otherwise, stop trying to defend her on any level. Another failed DEI hire....

[MarioCrosby]

Makes you wonder why she resigned. I seriously doubt, in fact I'd put money on she didn't do it because of any type of moral judgement. This makes me wonder if she doesn't have to turn over her encrypted phone now.
