“She’s full of s… today. Would you like to use these 5 minutes to sign her resignation letter?”. Kimberly Cheatle, director of the Secret Service, ‘heated’ by the House Oversight Committee, the investigative committee of the United States House of Representatives. The hearing on the failed management of security at the rally where Donald Trump was injured is a 4 and a half hour ordeal for Cheatle, who rejects calls for her resignation and blocks questions from congressmen, both Republican and Democrat. “She is full of s… today, she is totally dishonest”, the very harsh attack by Congresswoman Nancy Mace. Cheatle has repeatedly entrenched herself behind the answer that referred to the ongoing investigation.
Not only Republicans, but also Democrats have repeatedly expressed frustration with the evasive answers of the Secret Service director. “She doesn’t make our job easy,” Democrat Shontel Brown exploded in front of the many questions left unanswered by Cheatle, who has repeatedly entrenched herself behind the formula of the investigation in progress.
“It’s been 10 days since the attempted assassination of the former president of the United States, regardless of party there must be answers,” echoed leftist Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who called the lack of answers that is forcing Congress to “fly in the dark” “simply unacceptable.”
Deputies were upset when Cheatle did not answer questions about why an officer was not stationed on the roof chosen by the attacker – “we are still evaluating the process and the decisions made” – nor why the rally continued even though members of the public had reported the presence of Thomas Matthew Crooks on the roof. “We are still reviewing communications” to determine “when the information about the suspect was passed to Secret Service personnel.”
At the opening of the hearing, the director of the Secret Service admitted that on July 13 the body had “failed” its mission, and took “full responsibility for the mistakes”. But she reiterated that she has no intention of giving in to the demands for her resignation that the leaders of the Republican Party are making: “I believe I am the best person to lead the Secret Service at this time – she said – I got this job because I spent 27 years in this agency with a mission that I love completely”.
