Secret Service Chief Faces Mounting Pressure To Resign By Susan Crabtree

New allegations that Secret Service training resources were reallocated to “executive leadership bonuses” - Susan Crabtree @susancrabtree
...and DEI-prioritized recruitment are among the torrent of charges leveled against agency Director Kim Cheatle...
  • “This was an assassination attempt!” stormed Sen. Marsha Blackburn, a Tennessee Republican. “You owe the people answers. “You owe President Trump answers.”
  • A tight-lipped Cheatle continued to walk briskly away...
Allegations leveled against the Secret Service over the last 24 hours include:
  • A Secret Service special agent or officer was assigned to the building rooftop where Thomas Matthew Crooks fired off the shots but never showed up for work that day.
  • The explanation Cheatle provided for the unmanned rooftop – that she had placed agents and/or officers inside the building because the “slope” of the roof posted a physical danger – was nonsensical because there was a similar rooftop nearby where two counter snipers were positioned.
  • Four Secret Service snipers were present at the Pennsylvania rally, but only two of them were from the highly trained Secret Service ranks. The other two, who were responsible for firing the shots that killed Crooks, were local law enforcement officers...
