What does this Director know?
If she worked in the Private Sector, she would already have been fired.

Jaime Raskin focusing on the AR-15 is disingenuous. The AR-15 is simply a semi automatic rifle. It really isn't a weapon of war.

If Raskin wants semi automatics banned he should just say that without acting like the AR-15 is somehow different.

It's been 9 days wtf how does the director of secret service how does she not have any information. Just fire her.

[dowak]

9 days and still no answers to some of the most basic questions, what a joke!

[dragosbogoi]

Why do they keep saying "the President"? He is a former president and a presidential candidate.

[garrettb]

How do they not have to answer the questions? How are they allowed to circle around every question asked?

[Bonesnoff]

She couldn't shut down a kid with a rifle but she sure can shut down questions by the panel.

[dannylong]

He did push for a ban on baseball bats

[dannylong]

Wow who is the 90 year old person speaking and why are the democrats all bringing up gun control. And not asking why the system failed

[Kevin-rzlm]

No Shame. No self-reflection. No competence. The Bolshevik way of life. We've come to expect this over the past 4 years.

In case you are wondering, it is widely believed that Jim Jorden yells in that same tone of voice when he's ordering food at a restaurant, saying goodnight to his 4 kids, and making romantic love to Polly Jordan.

[jwoak]

At least she is not answering politically charged questions.

Great day from dangrek mountain capital hill. We will love to have some team for our new city as well.

First 10 mins was basically government crying about 2nd amendments. Let’s talk about secret service bad service

[Komma]

Her introduction sounds like a Saturday Night sketch. "Look what I can do".
So she was head of the training center and now the entire organization. She failed her way to the top. Good move.

[maximillianalexander]

5 minutes in and the dens have already gone off topic and want to focus on gun rights. There’s a time and a place. This obviously isn’t either.

[nikolayshchitov]

Good turn to change the thesis. Equalize failure of security to availability guns. School logic mistake?

[alsaraa]

I knew this hearing was going to turn into a gun control lecture.

King David sucessfully carried out a similar operation with his army. These present day clowns have failed, so far!

Oh Boy! She was not at the site. She delegated a list of authorities for the covering of security... Why is it so hard to understand! The agenda had a supervisor at the local area and obviously failed... Was it her fault? WHY FIRE HER FOR?
