Stepping down isn't going to do anything. She is still going to get her retirement and pension from the secret service. So she fails and still gets full benefits

[littletony]

It was not up to her to resign it was her handlers that told her it’s time to go. She did her job as ordered but she failed. So now her handlers will decide her fate.

[homergurganus]

How did she have decades of service? She worked for pepsi 9 yrs. Ago?

[uiunleashed]

If the crowd notices the threat before the secret service. Yeah no, just go you've lost your edge.

NOTHING CHANGED AND NOTHING WILL CHANGE IN AMERICA...

Secret Service Bodycam Footage Of Trump Assassin RELEASED! yup, they knew..

[rod]

Criminal and civil lawsuits on her needs to proceed.

[Michael-cbuw]

Shit we all smoke a bit too much weed while clocked in😂

[matthewwolf]

And in the meantime... she's still finnancialy set for life. Or we may discover that she "Epstein-ed" herself.

They destroyed her at that hearing. But with her job she supposed to review all site plans and make sure all areas are covered.

[juantoomany]

At best, gross negligence and incompetence, at worst, complicit in an assassination attempt on a former president/presidential candidate! Will she face any consequences? No. Not in this world, but she will in the next.

[jessmorthiele]

They are still going to investigate her right?

[mariejones]

Thats a FALL WOMAN! 😂 too little too late

[tomnguyen]

she should be trial and punished for negligence

[stuarthayward]

The attention should be about WHY she didn’t really answer ANY questions? Not ONLY about her stepping down

[Ed-xvsy]

"What we do, what we do?" Is this the woman you can hear on the video screaming "what we do?"

[ianmc]

Really looks like the Secret Service did what could to help the shooter

[kevinnosx]

I hope they can replace her with a diverse person who isn't afraid of sloped roofs.

[Deceptionking]

Strage how they dont show all the shooting caught on video. But they love showing that of trump

[etherealobsidian]

Miss Cheeto, we are still waiting on answers- not excuses.
