Today, the House Oversight Committee [aka ‘Chaff and Countermeasures Committee] is questioning Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, on the “Oversight of the U.S. Secret Service and the Attempted Assassination of President Donald J. Trump.”
Director Cheatle is under fire for the catastropic, almost deadly, failures to provide security to President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. Republicans are using the opportunity of Cheatle’s appearance to find answers about the events. Cheatle is not expected to remain in office as the transition from Joe Biden to Kamala Harris happens in the White House.
The hearing starts at 10:00am ET with Livestream Links Below:

Mau mauing the flak catcher. We will learn nothing other than confirm our low opinion of them
She just flat out lied and said that the same SS agents that always guard President Trump were there that day. We know that is not true because they put out some bs explanation about them needing a break.
Again another lie, “I’m hiring the best qualified candidates that put in an application.”
–“I’m hiring the best qualified candidates that put in an application.”–
Except for white males. They’re not “qualified” according to her hiring practices unless they’re trans?
Correct! We all must remember (as outrageous as it is) that Biden IMPOSED an Executive Order on all federal agencies and contractors to implement DEI measures related to federal hiring, training, promotions etc.
So the question must be asked, ‘what does it mean to be QUALIFIED under Biden’s DEI directive? Or,’ what role does DEI play in training protocols etc.’
I fear an independent review of these issues would reveal that, in general, all previous professional standards had been lowered so that DEI could be implemented without constitutional challenges. That’s how the likes of Cheatle can answer with straight faces that all candidates must meet the same standards., meaning ‘lowered standards.’
It’s likely true, but absolutely a lie by omission. There were likely a couple of holdovers and a slew of newbies.
She sounds like Comey.
Another wadted hearing! I just turned it off. She’s not answering questions and the committee has no guts!
Wasted
DC is just one big game of pretend. There’s nothing real about it but the lies and pretending.
The unseriousness of these people is bottomless…for which they all gain a largess in their off-shore bank accounts. Time For A Reset.
D.C.
Dark City
District of Corruption
Dual Citizen haven.
I sure wish someone would ask her how many cartridges were found on the roof with Crooks….
How many? We won’t get any specifics. We’ll get, “I don’t know. That’s the FBI’s job to investigate.”
She’ll just pass it around the DC Cul-De-Sac of 3-Letter Agencies and they in turn will do the same, like a Merry-Go-Round only they get the Gold Ring and we get the shaft.
Perzactly what she said!
Oh boy! I get to put an X on that square on my Bingo card.
Hi Barry 🙂
Lol Barry squared!
I wish we could find the courage to initiate a Grand Jury as described by Justice Scalia in U.S. v Williams (1992)
The founder of Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch Organizations has experience successfully conducting Citizen-led Gand Jury investigations into government or government officers. And, I bet almost every one of us has donated to them at least once.
I wonder what would happen if we sent a petition, signed by millions of citizens asking them to initiate a Citizens Grand Jury and conduct the investigation. Or maybe we could raise money via Give Send Go, so we could offer to hire them..
Problem is, the FIB has already collected all the shell casings and any other data…they will never release truthful data…sadly, that investigation was over before it barely got started
What’s the value of that question? Just allows her to put more fodder out there, which would be a partial truth at best. The media would pronounce it proof and run hard with it.
If he were found to have 8 casings that answers a question, if only 3 casings we have a second shooter.
IF they would actually answer truthfully..
Bingo! And that’s why she didn’t answer the question.
Catch em in a lie ..
Someone finally did! But of course she can’t say because that’s under FBI investigation.
Of course they can’t! The answer (truthful answer) to that question will tell you all you need to know….so you’ll never know…
I forgot to include the links:
United States v. Williams (1992) https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/504/36
https://www.commonlawcourt.xyz/pme/resources.php
Please go read them, especially Sections 18 and 19 in U.S. v Williams. This would be a great time to reclaim the Constitutional Right that Sovereign “people may rely upon for justice, when public officials, including judges, criminally violate the law.” -Justice Antonin Scalia
how are you currently protecting white house personnel Clarise?
I really believe this is just another waste of time, dog and pony show. The committee will get lies, I don’t recalls or misdirection, we will learn nothing and nobody will be held accountable. Business as usual.
But donation requests will go out to reward the Pubs for their righteous indignation!
So they can “check it off” their list and move on. Like counting the same ballots and saying it’s a re-count.
Hmmm…1963 to 2024. 61 years, a Warren Commission diversion, decades of slithering, and still documents “too sensitive” for the American People.
In 61 years from now, DC will still be slithering. But you already know what happened.
And NOBODY is responsible.
Connolly is going to stroke out.
Not a fan of this chicken-eating douchebag.
Protection for Connolly…
But not for anyone else.
Rep Connolly upset Cheatle won’t say guns make the job of secret service harder. He’s ready to blow.
Yes or No- if we disarm the American public then your job would be easier????
Dum dummy dumb dumb – my fugue for the Dims!
He finished up with telling about how someone on his staff got beat up with nine swings of a baseball bat.
Using his logic, I guess he wants to outlaw baseball too!
Such an idiotic premise.
Dog and pony show on both sides of the aisle. Stupid questions!
“Can’t answer the question. Ongoing investigation,” says Ms. Cheetos, over and over.
And if it’s an ongoing investigation, then how come there is no questioning of the sole shooter scenario? It’s Oswald 2.0 all over again.
And it’s an infomercial for gun control on the democratic side of the aisle.
Again, dog and pony show!
Thanks for letting me vent!
It’s always a game of “pin it on the patsy”. Their cover ups have become as threadbare as their integrity.
Makes a decent brick wall… —-that’s the prerequisite for a director, no?
Without consequences this circus is B O O O R I N G.
— send in the Hulk.
Hulk Hogan !!!!
…..she needs a dainty body slam.
Don’t forget the metal folding chairs and rolls of nickels …
Think we should outlaw baseball bats since they were used to attack folks at a Rep’s office
My Atlanta Braves are way ahead of you on this one. 🙁
Pelosi’s hubby would be fine if we ban hammers.
Disheartened listening to the little bit that I have that the Dems on the panel are being the political animals that they always are.
“It’s under investigation”. Get out of jail free ticket.
This IS the investigation!! Answer the questions!
She is like a Christmas Turkey.. flat out stuffed full of shyt
There must be a lot of retching and vomiting at your Christmas dinners? I wonder what would cause that?
These questions are sexist! The GOP is literally Hitler! How dare they demand accountability, she has a vagina. Nothing else matters.
“What I can say”
“What I can say”
“What I can say”
“Ongoing Investigation” “Defer to the FBI”
They might as well be questioning a blow up doll.
They are. Amazing how life-like they are nowadays, innit?
The only quote anyone needs from this hearing:
“On July 13th, we failed ”
( in our mission to assassinate President Trump).
When do they usher her into a room, present her with a bowl of poisonous berries, and close the door on their way out?
When one admits failure of this magnitude, it is always accompanied by a letter of resignation.
Have you no shame, woman?
I have to say…I don’t know what I was expecting, having been left uninformed after many of these types of hearings, but THIS hearing really seems to be even less informative than any I’ve seen before.
So, the FBi claims one shooter. The shooter is dead. So why can’t the head of the SS answer questions. This will be an ongoing investigation until anyone who could be possibly involved is long gone.
Lies, Lies, Lies
Again, if their story held any water, it would be a true Q&A session. Since it’s fabricated and still being modified to deal with all of the parts they can’t stuff back in the bottle, we won’t hear the answers for years.
Look at all those happy people behind her at the swearing in!
Biden to Harris transition?
I know he’s dropped 2024 campaign but has Biden announced he’s resigning?
Confused.
Biden is not running for reelection. Biden is not resigning his current office.
So what are they transitioning ?
I should have put it in quotes. That was the statement in SD’s post.
“as transition from Biden to Harris Whitehouse. ” is approximately what he said……
Cheatle sounds like FBI Director Wray, another great incompetent in the Biden Admin. Simply unwilling to answer simple questions.
Has anyone noticed she looks like Alice Cooper by the way, but doesn’t have to apply his make up.
Bill Clinton’s AG, Janet Reno, was the best at non answers about Ruby Ridge. I think she set the standard on testifying to Congress-Can’t respond to an On-Going Investigation.
This is now standard training for FBI, SS, and many other government agencies, I think. Like you say, Wray is very good at it and can testify with a straight face and a smirk-on-going investigation, classified info, sources and methods, I’ll get back to you on that……..
Being unanswerable means unaccountable. That should have a prison stay with it.
Congress needs to override that obvious obstruction loop-hole these agencies use to AVOID oversight.
The same thing happened with Obama’s “wingman” Eric Holder. But he skates because Obama had his AG in office. Meanwhile Bannon is in prison for a while.
Holder is still technically still in contempt.
It’s Dr. Jill who looks like Alice Cooper.
Both!!
Seems familiar, like the “ongoing investigation” down at Mar a Lago.
Shoulda had the FBI sitting next to Cheatle. Then we don’t waste time waiting for them to say they can’t provide info either.
What I’d like to see when there is a defiant witness –
“The Chair will entertain a motion to find the witness in contempt. The motion has been made. The Chair asks for the yeas and nays. In the Chair’s opinion the yeas have it. The hearing is in recess.”
Then the Speaker immediately brings a contempt resolution to a vote.
And by the end of that day the contemnor is in jail.
I know it will never happen, they can’t even enforce Garland’s contempt, but maybe someday…
Most every aspect of the federal government is a fraud and criminal enterprise we are paying for.
This is one of the biggest displays that prove the previous statement. She and Q Ball would be a good start on the example of tipping points.
What a worthless hearing. Cheatle was obviously told by her masters to give absolutely no concrete information as the Deep State is still in the process of concocting their cover narrative for the assassination attempt. She wouldn’t even answer the question about the number of shots Crooks got off.
Cheatle’s one and only job here is to say nothing which could be used against the official narrative in the future.
I expected better soundbites from the Republicans themselves. Everything here feels quite performative.
Yep. And easy to answer factually. Number of cartridges. And why now inform the people of that fact? The omission is your answer because it would expose the whole assassination attempt. You would easily know there were more than one shooter. And yo add to that, I am sure it was understood within minutes who shot all the rounds. They would have you believe that there were only two guns that day. Crooks and the sniper that took him out. So tell us? How hard is that?? Difficult I’d say since forensic audio analysis will tell a different story
Three Key Questions for Kim Cheatle
As House Republicans prepare to confront the embattled Secret Service director on Monday, Dan Bongino and I offer three crucial questions committee members must ask.

ALSO, a fourth which should have been 1st:
Grassley Letter to Secret Service Director Highlights Major Security Lapses
21 Jul 2024
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2024/07/21/grassley_letter_to_secret_service_director_highlights_major_security_lapses.html
After claiming to have ramped up security around former President Donald Trump because of an Iranian plot to assassinate him, the Secret Service provided only three agency personnel for “post-standing” Trump’s fateful July 13 Pennsylvania rally, compared to the 12 post-standers that first lady Jill Biden received at a dinner in nearby Pittsburgh that night (an INDOOR event – W), according to emails between and among Secret Service personnel obtained by RealClearPolitics.
ALSO, same day, one hour away:
JULY 13, 2024
Vice President Harris Campaigns in Philadelphia (an INDOOR event – W)
Where she said, according to a NYT headline: “Kamala Harris calls Trump a politician who ‘incites hate.’”
Trump is supposedly under an Iranian threat and not only do they NOT upgrade his security detail as they claimed, they downgrade it and hog local assets with two, simultaneous higher priority assets to protect one hour away on the same day and afternoon.
Then, by total coincidence, less than a week later there is the historic, world crashing CrowdStrike (remember them) induced event.
And then, as another diversion from the assassination attempt, the fully planned Biden dropout occurs just over a week later.
1. Shooter shown in his honors economics class in a film by Blackrock.
2. Building the shooter used is owned by Blackrock and managed by former executives of Pfizer.
3. Someone here said that the Google Streetview images around that building were updated recently (confirmed Nov 2023)
4. Shooter used a freaking drone prior to the shooting; SS didn’t.
5. Shooter had a rangefinder and was known to be carrying one during the event.
6. Phone videos of him show him very suspiciously lurking around in the distance all by himself.
7. It was only the most local, Butler police who finally climbed up to see the shooter on the roof.
8. It is claimed that the PD sniper team set up on the second floor of the shooter’s building. The shooters building doesn’t have a second floor, and the only other building in the complex with a 2nd floor facing the rally area is right behind the shooters building with a view of the roof the shooter was on. The sniper team wasn’t in one of those windows facing the rally?
9. Higher priority assets FLOTUS and VP events with vastly smaller crowds held INDOORS one hour away at the same time, giving the convenient excuse (and some reality) of hogged assets.
10. Two heroic motorcycle cops seen aiding wounded spectators in the grandstand were transferred after the event because it is claimed they were supposed to be helping with the FLOTUS event, adding credibility to the hogged assets theory.
11. Trump wasn’t even told there was a threat and held from the stage as he should have been.
12. Two highly significant diversionary news topics about one week after Trump attempt.
Move along, nothing to see there….
Thanks Winston.
In that RealClearPolitics article it said, “In addition, the site agent who was in charge of putting all security measures for a particular event in place was a relatively new female agent from the Pittsburgh field office with limited experience, a Secret Service source told RCP.”
Another example of DEI almost getting President Trump killed. (Someone here on TheConservativeTreehouse had an alternate meaning of DEI and I wish I could remember what that was.)
Another couple more questions to add to the list: a) If the security detail was aware of Crooks at least 30 minutes prior to the shooting, why did it take the SS snipers 26 seconds to neutralize the shooter(s)?
b) If Crooks was a lone wolf, how do you explain that one day before the attempted assassination an investment company (with investors like Blackrock, Rothschild, Vanguard, Meta, Bush, and Cheney) placed an order for 12 million put options on Trump stock? (Just like the put options on airline stocks just before 9-11.)

Austin Private Wealth, LLC CEO should be right next Cheatle today.
Wow, dem krishnamoorthi is actually grilling her with hard questions…I’m pleasantly surprised.
Another shiny example of the Deep State Bureaucrat/Profiteer Class that runs the United States from the Dark City (D.C.)
More dog & pony shows for the TV masses.
Let’s pile on the foolish DEI woman. The other patsy in this. The ‘obvious’ whipping girl. Who followed bad orders.
Meanwhile, the actual perpetrators of the failed operation are elsewhere, enjoying their mid-day cocktails.
We ain’t never gonna get answers. Bank on THAT.
She has been doing this for 30 yrs.
Would she have left that roof open?
That was obviously intentional.
Not if it was the babysitter in chief Jill
Interesting the SS lady is a nail biter and has clearly chewed to the stubs with at least one scabbed finger. https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/psychologist-explains-the-scientific-reason-why-people-turn-to-biting-their-nails-when-nervous/ar-BB1lMo4c
Democrats do not EVER willingly surrender their power. Not Cheatle. Not Biden. Not Kamala. Not Mayorkas. Not any of them. So no Cheatle will not resign.
Benjamin Disraeli: “There are three kinds of lies. Lies, damn lies, and statistics.” We can look forward to all three today.
We are not getting a good return for our tax dollar “investments” every April 15. Take note.
Are you SS Lady, a Diversity, Inclusion and Equity (DIE) appointment? Was the FBI part of the conspiracy? Why was the assassination carried out before the Republican Convention?
Could get more information from Kamala Harris 🥸
-“Sky News host reacts to ‘lefties losing it gold’ on Kamala Harris”
just wait til the barker in the win a poodle puppy booth gets a shot at her.
“…ongoing investigation… neither confirm nor deny…blah blah blah.”
That was an easy prediction.
dem ro khanna just called for her to resign. I’m amazed some of the leftists want her out.
Of course they do. Let’s the pretend go on and they can raise money on pretend accountability. Even have a chance of the conspiracy being swept under the rug.
More over Warren & 9-11 Commissions, a new team of white-washers are here to obscure the lastest inside job.
[From Zerohedge:]
Secret Service Boss Cheatle Faces House Grilling As DHS Forms Panel To Review Trump Shooting
…Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Sunday night announced the formation of an independent review panel charged with examining the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, which appeared to illuminate an astonishing degree of Secret Service incompetence.
The unusual Sunday night announcement came about 12 hours before Cheatle’s 10 am Monday appearance before the House Oversight Committee, which Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has touted as “must-watch TV,” telling CNN, “She’s got a lot to answer for. And those concerns are bipartisan.”…
…That panel has been given 45 days to perform its review. While new experts may be added shortly, it initially has four members:
*Obama Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano
*Fran Townsend, a homeland security advisor to President George W. Bush
*Mark Filip, who was deputy attorney general to George W. Bush
*David Mitchell, former Secretary of the Department of Public Safety and Homeland Security for the State of Delaware…

Ahh, a Confederacy of Dunces. Oh, but they are “Independent” and “impartial” Dunces!
Seems like he’s moving to take control of the investigation so that no truth emerges that would reveal the contempt he and his have for the American people.
Fort Knox is where he’ll hide all the evidence; or maybe he’ll have it rocketed to Mars.
How can Cheatle remain her position?
It all boils down to self preservation or honour.
She has chosen.
The 🤡 show rolls on
Got us over a barrel IMO. I want to not vote for any of this worthless congress. But PTrump will need to win house and senate. Nose holding time I see in my future.
One question for her: “Did you meet with Jill Biden about this specific event in Butler, PA?”
Secret Service Director Admits ‘Significant Operational Failure’ in Trump Assassination Attempt
“The director of the U.S. Secret Service told a House panel on Monday that her agency failed during the assassination attempt targeting former President Donald Trump.
“The Secret Service’s solemn mission is to protect our nation’s leaders. On July 13th, we failed. As the Director of the United States Secret Service, I take full responsibility for any security lapse,” Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle told the House Oversight Committee in prepared remarks after she was subpoenaed, adding that the shooting was the “most significant operational failure in decades.”
https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/secret-service-director-admits-significant-operational-failure-in-trump-assassination-attempt-5691473?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2024-07-22-1&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2024-07-22-1&utm_medium=email&utm_term=digital&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAbecoeh4c3cSftOBXnmJUCr12hUABKgRU38cMgdk4hyo0q1CxzCQ%3D
These folks believe that just saying the words; “I accept full responsibility” is enough, not actually taking any actions to solve or rectify the problem or face the consequences for their actions or lack of actions.
House Republicans are embarrassing. What a bunch of cowards. The line of questioning is pathetic. They should be asking her for relationship with Jill Biden and if she was part of the assassination attempt.
.
Fully agree. And also it looks like she got answering coaching from Mayorkas.
.
Questions no one is asking.
Are you a foreign agent?
Are you being blackmailed?
Do you have foreign bank accounts?
Will you submit to a lie detector test?
Have you lowered standards for female recruits?
Do you know the penalty for treason?
The Rs of DC are the Washington Generals to the Ds Harlem Globetrotters; ‘lovable losers’ because that is who they want to be.
PDJT has shown them how to win but they can’t/won’t try.
Litmus test – a DC Republican uses any form of ‘my friend across the aisle’ is not helping the country. Full stop.
Are you suicidal?
