"I installed handicap ramps at all my doors to keep the secret service out of my home".

[TTiger]

Ex director should not be receiving benefits from her resignation either. Want to give money, giver her pension etc... to the family of those killed/injured.

[dorothybingham]

Secret service will take a bullet for someone but won't risk getting on a sloped roof!

[marcmiller]

I've been a roofer 36 years. I've slept on steeper roofs than that during lunch break.

[marcfitzhenry]

She claimed the sloped roof was a safety concern for her trained agents. She claimed that with a straight face. Nobody in charge of the secret service can come back from such a idiotic statement. Thank god she resigned she should have been fired. Talk about being out of touch with the job of protecting world leaders.

[jerrycronister]

Charges need brought up. They tried taking out a President. And one other died. Because of what they did.

Little by little this web of lies is being untangled

[cynthiagray]

ANY Agency that refuses to cooperate in a legitimate investigation should be disbanded

[CristopherSmith-zruh]

This man at least can answer a simple question. He clearly didnt have control over the situation, he was dragged into it by the lack of accountability in the SS.

[Braemar]

I’ve watched these hearings for years and still cannot understand why they bother, given witnesses under oath can lie, mislead or simply refuse to cooperate.

[AaronBernstein-pwme]

Yeah, her roof-slope statement buried her from the get-go. I suppose the holster angle prevented the portly SS agent from accurately nesting her firearm as well.

[FranktheDachshund]

Somewhere in the SS is an agent who truly merited being the head of the SS, I want to hear from that guy.

[thomaskaiakapu]

This is what happens when they hire through DEI, you end up with FUBAR.

[savageinstitute]

I appreciate this man speaking clearly with fairly direct and helpful answers. Respect 👍

[brianmartand]

If the ss is refusing to deliver documents or answers is clearly obstruction of justice!! Freaking charge accordingly!!

[SaltyBob]

The roof was so sloped, the FBI had no problem pressure washing it immediately afterward.

[benjover]

She's dangerously slippery- not the sloped roof

[lambertsaldi]

Get Rid of Biden and his Administration asap !!

[trentp]

Weird how police can answer simple questions but not the feds

[bigblockpop]

She should be charged for an accessory to murder and attempted murder
