Her incompetence would get any normal job worker fired immediately. Truly appalling.

[sshlbzw]

This lady..does not give a damn....not even about the guy ..who did die...trying to protect his family....she is so so immoral to the core

[adamcuneo]

I want to know how the hell Mayorkas is still in his position as well, even after his horrible performance on the border.

[funrealnow]

Why not ask how much did she take to turn a blind eye

[guidofeliz]

It is a miracle that Trump is alive. Fire this woman

[tecnaman]

Ms Sargeant Schultz...I know nothing, NOTHING!

[DianeSkidmore-iwli]

She has destroyed the reputation of the Secret Service

[susanguccione]

Total neglect why is she still in charge of ANYTHING.

[jasonbeshara]

How is she not only being fired but also being arrested for her blatant disregard

[edhcpa]

It’s both amazing and incredible to see how many of the FJB administrative department heads refuse to answer questions.

[johnsenders]

Did the secret service turn a blind eye?

[guidofeliz]

What is going on in the United States?

[naamamarkishorekumar]

This is a master class at answering everything indirectly and deflecting. We can all learn from her

[suoqbmb]

Who is she protecting, who is she afraid of, who is pulling her strings, how much did she get for her "incompetence "? Who issued a stand down order?

[DrakeBuilders]

She makes out like shes hiding alot... #Doesntaddup #Psyop ???

[FoulWeatherFriend]

She talks like an automated customer service hotline.

[englemint]

My Grandma knows more than this lady on the shooting and my Grandma is dead.

[i_vijay]

Why they don't they call people from FBI local PD that she is referring to? Then ask them questions Face to face?

[billgussy]

what happened is not failure of one person rather of an entire system

[jpwessgate]

This is just like when I was in Ironwood State Prison...the correctional officers knew they let a child molester into the mainline and waited until he was beat and stabbed before they responded...
