USSS director cheatle is testifying to Congress today. From what I gather, she doesn't have answers for most of the questions. I'm seeing people write that she is not going to resign. What a mess.

It was clear from 5 minutes after Trump was shot that this arrogant bitch wasn't ever going to resign.

That was my take as well. The only saving grace is that 3 seconds after Trump assumes the Presidency she’ll be out of a job along with several other idiots as well.

Mace from SC tore her a new one. Forget who but the one guy told her she needs to go back to guarding cheetos.

The only thing missing is that Cheatle isn't flipping through a empty binder.

the ones with power running the executive branch are not precisely known, or accountable...it's been free reign for a long time

The GDCs are focusing on "gun control" because they do not want to face the fact that they wholesale called directly for an assassination.

And Ms. Norton, law or no law, anyone with ill intent gives zero shits about any or no "gun laws.

I'll give the Director respect for not answering her bullshit question in the affirmative. But I still don't like her smarmy attitude.

Once you learn to accept there's no accountability for high ranking officials, it's easy to understand her arrogance.

She's not going anywhere, and she'll continue to say,"We're better than this" or "This is not what the USSS stands for" or "We're going to learn from this and make sure it doesn't happen again."

Alpha Female Right There...I have a newfound respect for Representative Nancy Mace! This is not to say I did not respect her prior, it's just that I did know much about her other than the fact that she's a Conservative. Props to her for pulling no punches and calling it like she sees it!

She's apart of the Washington DC nomenklatura.
There's two classes of people living/working around DC, those who are elected and those who are career US gov employees.

The elected-types come & go, most of the time they're full of hot air, preen for the cameras and seek-favors from the press. Others are much more engaged with the committees they're apart of and thus become known entities amongst the career employees.

The career US gov employee is secure in their jobs, most have graduate-level degrees, believe themselves to be special and most importantly they make sure to maintain the existing inertia of the job. As career employees they've developed legal methods and workarounds when an elected official runs counter or contradicts where that departments inertia is headed. Like much of the US government today, efficiency has supplanted effectiveness.

If I were a member of Congress, I'd subpoena Cheatle everyday until she delivers the complete set of answers, including the names of every USSS, DHS, local cops, and EIEOE personnel present, which I would immediate send to Alex Jones, Steven Crowder, dailymail.com, and the dailywire.com

First, just because you're educated, doesn't mean you're smart! Kind of calls into question the real value of a 'graduate degree' and the current state of modern academia/university education in this country.

Second, the US government today in neither efficient, nor effective in ANYTHING it does!

On top of that Cheatle said they determined the attempted murderer's identify from the SN on the rifle, as wasn't any identification on his corpse.

And they did this within 30 MINUTES on a Saturday night.

Hmmmmmmmmmm...

There are a few issues here.

I'm a federal firearms licensee. If BATFE called me that late on a Saturday, after I was closed, the odds of me even getting the message until Monday are near zero. Even if they did reach me, it would take more than 30 minutes for me to find the record.

Now, reports are the rifle was purchased from a long out-of-business FFL by the nutcase's father.

How then did they make the linkage?

I suspect that we have seen yet again that BATFE maintains a searchable database of all firearms purchases, an illegal registry.

Congress needs to defund both USSS and BATFE.

When you surrender your FFL, the bound books and 4473s are sent to archive and likely scanned for future traces. Yes defacto registry
