Kimberly A. Cheatle, the Director of the Secret Service, is scheduled to testify before the House Oversight Committee on Monday. She will address the security lapses that led to the attempted assassination of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. We all know that it is almost 100% positive that someone in her agency or the DHS itself is looking to do harm by to President Trump.
“The Secret Service is fully accountable for the safety of its protectees,” said Anthony Guglielmi, the agency’s spokesperson, on Friday. “We are committed to better understanding what happened before, during, and after the assassination attempt on former President Trump to ensure it never happens again.”

Cheatle has come under intense scrutiny since the July 13 incident in Butler, Pennsylvania. During a rally, Thomas Matthew Crooks, aged 20, climbed onto a roof near where Trump was speaking and opened fire. The attack resulted in a grazing wound to Trump’s ear, the death of volunteer firefighter Corey Comperatore, and critical injuries to two other individuals before Crooks was fatally shot by Secret Service snipers.
In the wake of the attack, Cheatle explained that the decision not to station guards on the roof from which Crooks fired was due to safety concerns related to the roof’s slope. “That building in particular has a sloped roof at its highest point. And so, you know, there’s a safety factor that would be considered there that we wouldn’t want to put somebody up on a sloped roof,” she explained to ABC News, noting that the building was secured from the inside instead.
If Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle had a shred of integrity, she would’ve resigned the day Trump was shot.
There were massive security failures that occurred.

This reasoning was quickly criticized by security experts, prompting calls for Cheatle’s resignation. Dan Bongino, a former Secret Service agent and NYPD officer, was particularly vocal, mocking the justification and questioning the agency’s decision-making process.
The situation escalated further at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, where a group of senators attempted to confront Cheatle on the convention floor, accompanied by media. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyoming), who chairs the Senate Republican Committee, expressed his dissatisfaction, stating, “Every one of us had questions that we wanted to ask. We thought we didn’t get any of the responses that were necessary.”
Barrasso added, “Either you resign tonight or start answering our questions right now about the death threat to President Trump and allowing him to go on stage.”
As Cheatle prepares for her testimony, the focus will be on dissecting the security lapses that allowed the assassination attempt to occur. The goal is to identify the failings and implement measures to prevent such security breaches in the future. Since the Deep State controls the DOJ, nothing will happen to her, even if she were to admit to anything
