the whole strategy is always mitigate .... talk as little as possible with direct, but very wide answers. nothing ever happens this is all for show.... we go "yea she really gave it to her".....and it changes nothing. Id rather these hearings never happened.... they cost so much $... .I wish on big decisions it was just a popular vote . (FIRE or KEEP)

[@PostView24]

I don't think that is what she said. I believe she is in a tough spot because the FBI report is still in process. You wouldn't go to court and be put on trial without the proper evidence having been investigated, would you? Look, she may resign, she maybe will be found culpable, but this hearing took place without the proper investigations having been completed.

He was responsible for all the actions of his employees, but he knew how not to micromanage.

​@@ruthannparker8053🤢🤮

[@melodiefaith0908]

Be fired or resign.

[@walkitoff117]

@@ruthannparker8053 I understand your point about leadership and delegation, but there are several reasons why Director Cheatle’s physical presence at the site of such a significant security breach is crucial: 1. Leadership and Accountability: When an incident of this magnitude occurs, it’s not just about seeing the site but demonstrating leadership and accountability. By visiting the location, Director Cheatle would show a commitment to understanding the failure firsthand and to the public and her team that she takes the issue seriously enough to be present. 2. Firsthand Assessment: There are nuances and details that can only be fully appreciated by being on-site. The physical layout, potential blind spots, and other environmental factors can often be missed or not fully conveyed in reports and briefings. 3. Morale and Confidence: Her presence would likely boost the morale of her team and restore some confidence in her leadership. It shows that she’s actively involved and willing to take the necessary steps to prevent such incidents in the future. 4. Precedent and Expectations: In many fields, including law enforcement, the highest-ranking officials do visit the scenes of significant events, especially when there’s a massive failure. This sets a precedent that such events are of utmost importance and warrant the highest level of attention. 5. Public Perception: Public confidence in the Secret Service is paramount. The public expects that in the wake of such a catastrophic failure, the Director would take every possible step to understand and address the issue, including visiting the site. While delegation is an important aspect of leadership, so is being present during critical moments. Given the severity of this failure, it’s not just about gathering information but also about fulfilling the leadership responsibilities that come with her role. Therefore, her absence can indeed be seen as a significant oversight, further justifying the call for her resignation.

I am extremely disappointed in the members of our congress. Especially the democratic members. I dont know why they thought this was the place and time to spread their anti-gun ideology, but it was a very annoying and foolish waste of time. I was actually surprised when a democratic member actually contributed to the questioning of Cheatle. I think any congress member who mentioned or spoke at length about banning guns and weapons of war instead of meaningfully contributing to getting to the bottom of this failure and oversight, should issue a public apology. I also recommend they go and study the events of the prohibition. I am reasonably convinced that this "bipartisan" hearing was only bipartisan so the dems could spread their anti-gun propaganda. They, along with Mrs. Cheatle, should be fully ashamed of themselves.

I think you should add Ms. Stansbury talking after Mace. She gives a time-line of events!!!

[@Lia2222]

@stephaniegray3083 I took notes: July 3 rally announced. July 6 sho oter searched for the rally location etc. July 7 sho oter went to the rally location. July 12 sho oter went to gun range with dad. July 13 sho oter went to the rally. He searched for a g un store & bought 50 rounds of ammo. Went home & got the g un & returned to the rally. 5pm local law was made aware of him. 520pm local law were made aware of his range finder he had & sent a picture of him with their concerns about him. 540pm local law found sho oter's name. 551pm local law notified Secret service of him being suspicious. 552pm local law distributed his photo. That was 11 minutes before Trump took the stage that Secret Service was aware of him. 603pm Trump took the stage. 609pm witnesses saw sho oter on roof and told local law who were standing there by them. 611pm 3 sh ots were heard. (There's words yt doesn't like just so you know so that's why it looks weird)
