We pay a LOT of money for an inept corrupt federal government.

[tomgreco]

One more coverup .NO one is held ACCOUNTABLE.

[spaceweasel]

The whole idea that a government employee can't be fired has to be changed!

[scottmccullough]

This is the problem with this whole country, no

[helix]

They come to a Congressional hearing 17 days after the event. But they STILL don't have any meaningful answers.

[bridgerbergmanjohn]

This country has turned into a f%&king joke.

[spaceweasel]

Why does anyone think these people can investigate themselves???

[dunes]

It looks like it's going to be another 4-year investigation and come back with nothing

[Hanover-ekjy]

The total incompetence of both the secret service and FBI is staggering!

[billybaxter]

Let me get this straight. The agent who screwed up is still operational so he can screw up elsewhere.

[marklaursen]

This guy needs to be fired with no benefits....He's not answering and refusing to answer!!!! So this guy doesn't know the "process???" What a lie!!!

[johnhuston]

The security couldn’t even respond to tipsters yelling to them that a man is on the roof and he has a gun! The government is corrupted. 😡

[deryckmcleod]

This guy is as much of a clown as Cheatle was. A disgrace he can not answer any questions. Fire him too, he's useless.

[jimmyers]

I smell a cover up. Nobody will be fired it will be business as usual... what a joke!

[whatwouldyoudo]

Thank you Senator for being a patriot!

[Jakobsh]

How has 17 days passed and their investigation still hasn’t provided clear answers?

[johnherring]

This should have been wrapped up in several days. 17 days is ridiculous! I bet nobody is held accountable!!

[larryroberts]

Thank you Josh Hawley for trying to get accountablity from a Liar.

[vickyostenson]

Two weeks out and they still can’t hold anyone accountable.

[petergabel]

They've had more than enough time to ascertain answers in this matter. It is evident that these people in our government who are supposed to protect keep lying through their a** and continue to get away with it.
