Lawmaker Nancy Mace hit Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle right between the eyes with an assault hammer, at her House grilling on Monday. “You’re full of sh!t today. You’re just being completely dishonest,” the South Carolina Republican declared. We expected that because the attempted assassination of once and future President Donald Trump looks a whole lot like an inside job. By the end of the bipartisan grilling, her political career was as done as she was. Even Democrats are ready to have her fired. Since she won’t do the honorable thing and resign.
Cheatle bobs and weaves
Bobbing and weaving like a boxer, around even the most innocuous questions, Kimberly Cheatle had nothing to say for nearly six hours. The exchange with Mace came later in the proceedings but was definitely the most attention grabbing drama. After hearing “I don’t know” a lot, Mace started interrogating the director about documents which hadn’t been sent over as requested.
“Have you provided all audio and video recordings in your possession to this committee, as we asked on July 15 – yes or no?” It was a loaded question because Mace already knew the answer. There are particular documents she’s waiting for desperately.
“I would have to get back to you,” Cheatle replied. Wrong answer. “That is a no. You’re full of sh*t today. You’re just being completely dishonest.”

That prompted a colleague to scold “we have to maintain decorum in this committee, no matter how upset we get.” He empathized, though and was thinking the same thing. He simply would have kept that opinion to himself. Even the Democrat lawmakers were angry with her.
Cheatle acknowledged the agency “failed” during the shooting. She couldn’t say how or why, though. That’s because it would have meant admitting they allowed the attempt to go through. There are a lot of people out there who say Thomas Matthew Crooks was expected and the optimal sniper post reserved for his use.
There’s no other explanation which makes sense for how the Secret Service could watch him closely for an hour, make sure Donald Trump was standing right on target and allow him six shots. Then, they killed him because “dead men tell no tales.” His cell phone might. Maybe. They cracked the phone and found he was using an encrypted messaging app with someone.
Lost the confidence of Congress
Even Jamie Raskin, who loves to run interference for Hunter Biden, is calling for Cheatle to resign. “I think that the director has lost the confidence of Congress at a very urgent moment in history.” She wouldn’t even confirm that the gunman acted alone.
She claimed that they still need to investigate. It could be that they already know what it would find, and they would be looking at some of their buddies, like the FBI perhaps.
A bipartisan delegation actually took a field trip to the Butler County Fairgrounds ahead of the Cheatle hearing. After touring the rooftop used as a sniper post, Republican Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania noted “One thing is clear. it’s way too close.”
Holy sh*t

He wants to know why “a security agent wasn’t stationed on the water tower that had sightline to the entire location of the rally.” Apparently, because that would have defeated their true purpose. “That water tower surveils the entire landscape.”
Florida Republican Carlos Gimenez can’t believe the lame excuse Director Cheatle used to justify leaving the rooftop open. The slope. “I’m 70 years old. There’s nothing unsafe about that roof,” Gimenez observes.
“There are things here that are obvious, obvious failures of the Secret Service.” Unless they were intentional.
