- Author Douglas Murray reflects on former Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle’s performance at a House oversight committee hearing this week.
“She seemed to be intent on not giving any details in case she could somehow be tripped up on them at some later date in the hearing or afterwards and that was just a disastrous tactic,” Mr Murray told Sky News host Caroline Di Russo.
“She was repeatedly asked about timelines and it turned out she didn't have them. It really was an embarrassment.”
"She was a political appointee of Joe & Jill Biden". Mmmmmmmmm
she literally had encrypted messages with the whitehouse
ad she dedicated not answering questions.
She was so bad at that hearing I don't think you can even blame it on DEI. I seems like she was pushed into the role by Jill Biden and they were friends. This tells me that the Biden's wanted a friend to cover up any wrong doings that may have been or would be witnessed by ss agents. Why couldn't they determine who owned the white powder? ----->Cheadle threw a blanket over it.
Another feather in Biden's cap!!!
Douglas does not have to break down this woman. She did it herself.
Nine days later, and she still has no answers
"What are you hiding my friend". (Congresswoman McClain).That was the question.
She is doing exactly what all her cronies have been doing in front of congress.
Yep. They think they're clever.
Yes, and all of these people are MCs.
She's covering for someone! She looks so guilty and ashamed.
She looks contemptuous to me, not ashamed one bit. Just ashamed she got called out, but not for the reason.
And so she should.
Cheat-all is a stooge/patsy for the people who ordered/allowed the hit.
Thats why she could not say anything or spill the beans.
$20m golden parachute to say 🤷♀️
Or rather she was saying: I was dedicated to cover up all the truth as I was one of the ones planned this assassination
Secret Service, lol. lol. lol. Too BUSY polishing their BLACK Sunglasses, lol. LOCK THEM UP.
Kimberly Cheatle GUILTY💯💯💯. Forget her resigning > LOCK HER UP < She failed her duty.
Lock her up for negligence alone...
she allowed a murder of a citizen and 3 others shot. She testified under oath no ladder was used but we see that ladder leaning agent that building. Climbing agents were searching of the hooter while citizens were pointing to him yelling h his on th roof with a gun. Secret service kew he was a possible problem when he rode up on his bike they took his picture. SS DIRECTOR is either lying or stupid or both.
She only resigned because if she was fired she would have lost her pension. So once again no real consequences
@@RACHJ5yes and she probably got a very handsome severance.
she didn't even know the director protecting reagan resigned after the the shooting.
Stepping down is not punishment for an inside job.
She refused - not didn't know, or couldn't remember - downright refused to say how many bullet casings were on the roof.
Or, didn’t have that information in front of her!
Anybody who watched the footage heard how many shots were fired.
STEP DOWN, lol. She should be LOCKED UP for GOOD. > Treason
I think her boss should be locked up as well, because she kept referring to the FBI. Trump shouldn’t be silent until bring the whole justice department to the investigation.
I think her boss is jill Biden @@sallycent6598
She wasn't fit for the job. Completely self unaware. Kamila Harris will end up the same.
The world will fall apart if Harris gets in …
Anyone remember the big, fat black wrestler in the WWF called "Kamala"? Who would name their daughter after some pot bellied fake wrestler?
Thank you Sky News & Douglas Murray!
20 years prison for professional negligence causing death!
Agreed.. Arrogance and ego aplenty.... zero actual competency and experience...
No she won't she is simply the wrong person in the wrong job. She did not commit any crime per say.
@@hassanbenabdelali6287an American citizen died because of her failings meant a threat wasn’t neutralised.How is that not jail time for criminal negligence?
I agree I think that she is responsible for mr comperatore s death and should be prosecuted
@@hassanbenabdelali6287 Wrong. Her negligence almost got a former president killed. Another man was killed, and two others were injured. She needs to be held accountable.
She should have been fired immediately!
Had it been a democrat candidate she'd be in jail right now.
how come SHE resigned straight away and MAJORKAS has not gotten the hint yet after months of depositions...
She should have been sacked and charged... Hows yr DEI hiring working for you?????
She did what all the civil servants have done when questioned by congress. Display contempt for congress knowing nothing will happen.
Why are they not arresting those in The Capitol!
They vote democrat?
It's obvious to all Americans that she was a willing participant in the whole process of trying to attempt to murder Trump! Americans want the Congress to do their job and arrest this b**** and charged her with murder and attempted murder she is obviously covering up for somebody!!!
they ARE above the law!!!
They’re supporters of the Squad!
Take a guess.
This woman was so poorly prepared for the line of questioning and the intensity she would face. Very inept performance to display in public.
Actually she was well prepared by her lawyers to not give any information. She will be sued for wrongful death by fire fighter family- gross negligence
As inept as biden
Treasonous behavior 😮
She is incompetent.
Wrong, she is complicit.
I dont think she is even that qualified!
Weaponized incompetence.
She has that look of a cat/wine lady. She has so many cats most people think it's weird and she drinks between 1/2 to 1 bottles of wine a night. I also suspect a few Tramp stamps from her youth.
Her attitude is a reflection of American women who lack accountability and is full of herself, and wont concede to the fact that she failed in fulfilling her responsibility. No SHAME and that is appalling.
Her attitude is representative of American men and women who lack accountability. Not just women.
@TheDriftwoodlover In this context she represents women and you agreed so why bring Men onto it?
Cause she knows what she says can be used against her in a trial. Charges can be filed against her for her incompetence which caused the death and injury to the innocent people who attended the rally.
Premeditated incompetence
What the hell is the difference between January 6 in this they should all be set free
Amen! She stepped down! She should be in jail; she did not do her job!
Thank you Douglas...that woman said as little as possible..good she is not there anymore.
She took the easy way out. No more questions to answer, which is a pity as the US needs to get to the bottom of who allowed this.
Always well informed and with clear assessment, mthks Douglas
SS (secret service) assassin.
She took all the questions but did not answer them.
After her ridiculously lame excuse about the infamous sloped roof the day after the shooting, it’s no wonder she didn’t want to say anything else specific, less she put her foot in her mouth again.
We're from the Secret Service (That everyone knows about) and we don't shirk our duty....Just don't ask us to go up onto sloping roofs.
Mate, with a big wrinkle, it's either intentional or incompetence. My eyebrow raises when I hear the person argue their incompetence competently. This was no accident or simple failure.
No no no. She should have been fired and jailed!
She basically stalled off for someone or a group, she should've been fired/impeached
This is very good observation. Glad the Aussies see it.
It is unfair to force her to resign when she proves to be incompetent because she wasn’t hired for her competence.
She is "dedicated" to get the answers wowwww LOL so dedicated that she even did not visit the site?!!!!
kcheatle was also confused with her answer to JJohnson, she actually, 'started by saying thank you for that question' lol
Cheatle should have just got in front of the house oversight committee and said "we missed" ......
Equal rights come with equal lefts
I'm glad she resigned. Here is the problem I have; In 2023, Cheatle told CBS News that the Secret Service needed to "attract diverse candidates and give opportunities to everybody in the workforce, particularly women". She stated that her goal was that by 2030, thirty percent of its recruits would be female. Why is this important? Why is it important that 30% of a companies workforce be women, or black people, or Asians or Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration? Why can't positions within a company/organization be filled by merit? You have that position because of all the people considered for it, you were the best. What's wrong with that?
Politicians have one amazing habit in common. No matter how pathetically they carry out their responsibilities, come election time, they all automatically start looking around for "handouts".
H
She went kicking and screaming , she was dedicated keeping her job, hopefully she doesn’t get any payouts
She will do just fine financially. That is the most disgraceful part of our government hiring system.
I come here for the news because the media sucks in the US. Keep it up.
COMMYLA will continue joey's crap maybe even worse
Charge her
Well stated and good comments on the news show.
There was no secret service on the roof of the shooter because...... "The slope was too dangerous" ... TRANSLATION: This roof was RESERVED.
No question of suggestion, "secret service" just organised this.
They could start with the Special Agent in Charge of the Trump protection at that rally and work from there.
Cheatle acted like she didn’t know who that was.
Seriously I think that person gave her the sloped roof excuse. Cheatle being totally incompetent and too lazy to go onsite to investigate simply bought the story
@@alr9967 I would presume that since it would be the Special Agent in Charge’s team who would be at the sharp end of any foul ups and possibly her team to pay the blood price if it all went wrong that she would have been into every single detail. Perhaps it is she who Cheatal was trying to protect?
This smells of Jill Biden. She ordered the stand down
@northernhound3899 my guess would be either the democrates or black rock I guess that's the same thing.
That’s exactly what I thought to. She most certainly had a strategy and it’s was to walk out of there. Regardless of what people think of her she’s not about to plead the 5th at that moment but she’s also not about to tell you anything
I love my wife and women in general but accountability is not a feminine trait and it shows. Her answers are unbelievable in what parallel universe does she reside? The men will just stone wall and smile both are criminal in my book.
Note that's she's resigned, will she still answer any questions in the future? 🤔
She should NOT have been allowed to resign. She walks away with a pension and benefits. She should have been fired and arrested.
“I take full responsibility” I don’t think she knows what those words mean, but some jail time would explain them to her.
She knows if she doesnt lie she will be epstiened
That's it, she resign's and not held criminally responsible? WOW!!!
Kimberly Cheatle is going on a long, long holiday!
So should a LOT of others in the Washington 'establishment!'
"We have to rebuild the American people's faith and trust in the Secret Service as an agency."
No! No, no, no, no! No, Mr. Johnson... your priorities are misplaced. Distrust and incapacity for faith aren't America's problems: corrupt, incompetent institutions are. Rebuild the institutions to the point where they merit the designation 'trustworthy,' and faith and trust will take care of themselves.
USA at the abyss.
I wish we could have a President as sharp and as clever a wordsmith as Murray.
He'd talk circles around people in meetings and debates, and leave them with their heads spinning, saying _What the hell just happened?_
This is more than a security failure….c’mon!!!!!
There should be all kinds of finger prints on water tower??
They focused on her resigning out of incompetence instead of finding her liable
Even if everyone agrees on the failure of Secret Service many questions remains unanswered, where the former Secret Service boss was just dodging & ducking all questions. For example, did Crooks use the 5 foot ladder he bought, and if so, where? Why didn't the police/Secret Service have access to any ladder?
How many of the 8 shots heard (3+5 shots) came from Crooks? Secret Service's snipers only need 1 shot so maybe the 5 last shots didn't come from Secret Service? Kimberly Cheatle didn't even know how many shell casings there were from Crooks rifle. 8 shell casings has been recovered next to Crooks body according to Col. Paris (PSP).
Why only 22 (out of more than 8000 employees) - whereof an undisclosed amount of temporary/inexperienced agents - from Secret Service at an event with ten thousands of participants, protecting the person who lives under the probably biggest threat in the world? Why didn't Cheatle want to reveal that there were 22 agents and why did she repeatedly claim that there was enough people to protect Trump? There were 30 from PSP plus an unknown number of Butler Police.
Especially strange considering the extended threat to Trump from Iran (where Biden let thousands of illegal Iranians into US thru the Mexican border).
Was Butler, Pa. commissioner truthful when he claimed that USSS lied and that all of the police only were there for traffic duty?
Why was Trump denied requests for more security, and who denied this? Why didn't FBI add resources?
Whatabout the Democrats who wanted to take away Trump's Secret Service protection completely, just weeks before the assassination attempt?
Why were Secret Service and the police on different radio frequencies? Is that standard, and if so why? There where 3 different radio systems/frequencies; USSS, Pen State Police & Butler Police - plus phones, voice & text thru some text system - and it seems like this contributed to the obvious communication failure. Col. Paris (PSP responsible) said he doesn't know the routines for how to relay info from the radio communication (or phones) to the correct person (he says only USSS knows this) or if his police could access the other frequences.
Why wasn't the radio communication recorded at the event? Cheatle says it's recorded otherwise.
Secret Service knew about the threat more than 1 hour before Crooks started shooting. Why did Secret Service let Trump speak in spite of that they knew about Crooks even before Trump went on the stage?
Why wasn't Crooks investigated by USSS when he was considered to be a suspicious subject (not even at 5:30 or 5:52)?
Seems like Secret Service had Crooks in the crosshairs already 19 minutes before Crooks started shooting. Why did the Secret Service's snipers have their weapons directed towards Crooks for so long (19 minutes) without shooting? Why did they let Trump continue to speak?
Why were there no counter sniper team in the water tower (most elevated position, 160 yards away from Trump)?
When was the last sweep of the roof where Crooks was shooting from, and the area around it?
Why did Secret Service let Crooks run a drone over the area (even more than 1 time)? Why didn't USSS have any drones (or chopper)?
Why did the police have to tear down the fence and drive thru a gate to be able to get to the building where Crooks was on the roof?
When & why did Thomas Crooks father call the police, worried about what his son would do, how did that conversation go and did USSS search for this info?
Who approved the security plan? Who was the site command/site supervisor? Seems like there was a planning problem, a coordination problem and a supervision problem. Who was in what command center at what time?
Exactly who signed off on the security plan? Where's the accountability? Nobody has been disciplined and everybody who failed their mission are still active and can continue to put presidents and others at risk for another 60 days or more, during a presidential campaign. Nobody has been fired or even suspended.
Why was 'The Beast' not parked immediately adjacent to the stage (with a secure distance to the public) to facilitate a fast exit for Trump?
Why did Kimberly Cheatle (one of many Trump-haters & Jill Biden's favorite security guard) lie about the slope on the building, and about who were in the building ('local police') with Crooks on the roof. Kimberly Cheatle had no answers during the hearing 9 days after the assassination attempt. Cheatle knew just about nothing, not even that it was 130-140 yards between Crooks & Trump. Transparency from USSS is close to none.
America is being laughed at by the entire world...
I heard from a private source that she has already applied for a security job in Walmart. Are there for suggest that you shop elsewhere until further notice
These jobs have become unbelievable..
Many declare and shout that she failed badly, catastrophically in her job. I'd ask what was her actual job regarding DT and did she actually come very close to fulfilling her given task on that day??????
The U.S. Secret Service should never have been moved from the Treasury Department to the Department of Homeland Security (2003). If there were concerns about the sharing of information between the FBI and other Intelligence Agencies then some type of liaison should have been created.
Now, they need to investigate her involvement in this. If she's found guilty of purposely neglecting Trump's security detail. She needs to be punished accordingly.
Lock up the entire swamp!
In the immortal words of Douglas' fellow clan member; Bill Murray, "This chick is TOOOOOOAAAST!!!"
Free meal ticket no accountability. The joke is on the American people wake up.
It's a shame that none in the media has asked Israeli security how they protect Vips at events like this rally. They have decades of experience providing protection.
JOE AND JILL BIDEN........?
I THOUGHT JOE WAS PRESIDENT!!
Not answering the questions directly or citing details was by design. Her behavior was entirely too consistent to be anything but deliberate.
She is so unprofessional
How does she get to go why isnt she in jail
When there’s more questions than answers 🤔
Wouldn't it be hilarious if Kamala Harris chose Cheatle to be her VP for the election?
Even more hilarious if she chose Stacey Abrams.
Arrest and deport.
Okay she should resign but I thought she came across better than a lot of other bureaucrats in front of these types of senate hearings. Not perfect and you have to go when something like that happens.
So if they are not incompetent, that must mean she had an agenda.
When a leader fails miserably, they might resign or get sacked immediately. For neither to happen, the only conclusion is that she is negotiating her terms. If the Whitehouse wasn’t willing to sack her then she must have something over them. We can expect that some deal has been made and that
Kimberly Cheatle manages to get a pretty good position in the near future. We can also expect that she keeps secret those things that she was unwilling to even hint at during these hearings.
🎯🎯🎯
She might have been able to save her job if she answered any questions but she lied to cover her ass and others as well.
DEI hires never face any scrutiny or accountability. Instead, critics of their abysmal performance are attacked as misogynists, or racists. And that is exactly what she did leading up to this hearing. But once there, she had to put on big girl pants and answer questions - something she has apparently not had to do before as a DEI hire.
H. Stuart Knight was indeed the Director of the Secret Service at the time of the Reagan assassination attempt that occurred on March 30, 1981. Knight did indeed retire after the attempt... in November of 1981.
So yes, He did retire after the failed attempt on President Reagan but not in the immediate aftermath as this dude would have us believe,
Her answer was correct. He remained on duty for more than half a year.
😮😮😮 good she steps down...!
Gently folks.
Just a reminder that someone was in ,(field),command at the convention and ignored calls regarding the sniper, to be, on the roof.
It appears that with so many agencies on site there was no command structure.
That’s the person, the field officer in charge, who should be fronting the Inquiry.
Where the truth really lies.
As to the Director , the red herring, all she’s really guilty of is gross stupidity concerning the roof and failure of leadership of the Secret Service. That’s everything from training to diversity hiring.
Thankfully she’s resigned.
However that officer who was supposedly in command is still unknown.
Why hasn’t the Senate Inquiry followed this up..
If there’s a cover up that’s where it will be..
She failed, but now she gets to put her feet up.
Why do we have to rebuilt faith and trust in government institutions?
She needs to stay to run the cover up,
he remained on duty, she didnt even know he resigned, FIRE THE PERSON WHO PUT HER THERE!!! FIRE MAYORKAS
She was in on it
