We won’t pretend to know if this claim true, but there are what we will call 'rumors' going around that Director of the Secret Service Kimberly Cheatle will resign as soon as Monday. And it is easy to believe that it will happen because it clearly should happen. But as we said just this morning in the context of Joe Biden possibly resigning or being removed, just because something should happen, doesn’t mean it will happen. In any case, while many people are posting the reports of such an incoming resignation, the original source of this claim appears to be Ryan Fournier:
BREAKING: Kimberly Cheatle to resign as soon as Monday.
— Ryan Fournier (@RyanAFournier) July 20, 2024
Friend in the USSS - as well as the Congressional Subpoena on her desk. She know this was a f*ck up.
— Ryan Fournier (@RyanAFournier) July 20, 2024
But even presuming that Fournier is accurate in reporting what this friend said, and even if that friend is striving to be accurate, it is easy to imagine a situation where that person is just plain wrong. Anyone who has played ‘telephone’ knows why it is dangerous to say 'I heard it from a guy who heard it from a guy.' So, we’re not saying anyone involved are necessarily dishonest or even foolish, just that we don’t trust sourcing like this.
This comes amid even more revelations of Secret Service failures last Saturday, when the once and future president Trump was shot in the ear and Democracy was almost shot right in the heart. The Hill has a summary of some of the big revelations of those failures, here:
Here are 4 revelations raising heat on Secret Service after Trump shooting https://t.co/2rfRV0UDpM
— The Hill (@thehill) July 20, 2024
And Clay Travis shares a new revelation:
The @washingtonpost reports the secret service repeatedly rejected requests from Trump’s team for more security prior to the assassination attempt last week. Every detail makes this story worse. https://t.co/2qBzajg5WQ
— Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) July 20, 2024
And this author—and many other others at this website—have written about the litany of failures that led to the shooting of Donald Trump:
A Counter-Sniper Saw Crooks on the Roof Nearly HALF AN HOUR Before He Tried to Assassinate Trump https://t.co/pYZEj9Dzg2 https://t.co/pYZEj9Dzg2
— (((Aaron Walker))) (@AaronWorthing) July 16, 2024
That includes a report that that the rules of engagement seemed to be well-designed to allow an assassination to occur. In that prior coverage, we quoted Real Clear Politics as saying:
A source within the Secret Service community told RCP that the agency’s rules of engagement in this situation are for a counter sniper who suspects an armed threat to radio the lead agent in charge and wait for a green light or wait until the president is fired upon to return fire.
That claim about the rules of engagement was disputed, but sure as heck fits with what we know about what happened that day. As we wrote in that prior piece:
Gross negligence is the best explanation for this security failure. And the worst explanation is a deliberate decision to neglect Donald Trump’s safety. That is the range of explanations. There is no version of events where everyone involved did a good job. Indeed, if we were Trump, we would consider hiring our own heavily armed security.
We’re not saying we are convinced that the Biden administration intentionally neglected Trump’s security in the hope that someone would take out Trump, but we haven’t seen any evidence ruling it out, either, so it remains within the realm of possibility.
Not soon enough... She will still need to show up to Congress...

We usually are happy with someone giving a person a chance to resign rather than the shame of being fired. But sometimes a person fails so hard, they deserve that shame.

He is ultimately responsible for denying Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Secret Service protection, which is absolute proof they are playing political games with the Secret Service, at least at the top.

I hope this is true.
She should have resigned last Monday. https://t.co/4AMBiapTaP
— Don'tBeAJagoff (@Eponine1973) July 20, 2024
Honestly, our main concern is that we see policy changes, rather than just personnel changes. The rules of engagement need to allow for the Secret Service to proactively take out threats. And for the love of G-d, they need to cover every roof. Even the sloped ones.
We are honestly stunned we have to actually write any of that. We could probably have done a better job running the on-site protection for Trump than the Secret Service did last Saturday. We don’t say that based on a belief that we are somehow great security experts—we aren’t. It’s more like an insult: They have failed so hard, that a rank security amateur like this author could do better.

This would be a Biden Administration first, where the incompetent are rewarded rather than punished. https://t.co/0rj8Nv53xG
— MB (@detroitbliss) July 20, 2024 One of the strongest moments Trump had in the debate with Biden (besides not having 'resting Twenty-Fifth Amendment face' like Biden) was when he pointed out that for all the disasters in the Biden administration, no one was ever fired. Here’s video of that moment: VIDEO
It's an underrated moment in the debate. A good manager simply has to fire people now and then.
I heard that Kimberly Cheatle is scheduled to testify on Monday. But I haven't heard anything about her resigning, but even if she does, she'll still need to testify. So, i would be cautious with this report
— R A W S A L E R T S (@rawsalerts) July 21, 2024
Agreed.
After resigning Kim will go on The View and dish with the gals. Then she'll get a cushy gig as a college professor and a book deal. CNN and MessNBC are talking to her about being a "security consultant." Yes, negligence (and/or worse) pays. The reason she didn't resign right…
— Stephanie Sharf (@playnicenow2) July 21, 2024
The cut off text:
The reason she didn't resign right away is she's been negotiating all this.
That sounds like speculation. But we admit it is plausible.
I want answers, not scalps

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Now I can’t help wondering if Dr Jill brought Kimmy in to oversee a hit.
Bongino would know
F-ing liars. They denied the repeated requests for additional security for President Trump and lied by saying they didn’t deny his requests for additional security.
Hookers, blow, drama and the failure to keep a Presidential candidate safe - they are a joke now.
If the demonic sow resigns, will that enable her to avoid congressional testimony?
Just because she resigns doesn’t get anyone off the hook. Criminal negligence occurred during the assassination attempt.
Why?
She can easily prove it was a false flag op by Trump.
Right?
The most significant explanation:
“We’re not saying we are convinced that the Biden administration intentionally neglected Trump’s security in the hope that someone would take out Trump, but we haven’t seen any evidence ruling it out, either, so it remains within the realm of possibility.”
“She know this was a f*ck up.”
Only because they didn’t get a better shooter, at least in her twisted mind.
Why? Did such a great job in hiring.
More time for her to work on her resting bitch face.
NO BUT IF SHE IS NO LONGER EMPLOYED SHE CAN TAKE THE 5TH.
She had a meeting with Trump in Milwaukee. No?
Wonder if he showed her a picture of her house.

Some critics seem to go no further back than her time at Pepsi.
It’s worth noting that she had a long career before that - with the US Secret Service !!
Mayorkas needs to go, too.
Mayorkas on the Trump shooting: “We in the US Dept of Homeland Security — the largest law enforcement organization in the federal government — will, with great pride, focus, and devotion to mission, continue to recruit, retain, and elevate women in our law enforcement ranks. Our Department will be the better for it, and our country more secure.”
Yeah, sure .....dont make me laugh.
That’s why Trump was “more secure” on the day he was shot.
Reference:
<><>Mayorkas heads The Dept of Homeland Security which has more than 260,000 employees in jobs that range from aviation and border security to emergency response, from cybersecurity analyst to chemical facility inspector on the govt payroll as of Jun 11, 2024.
<><>Mayorkas’ Homeland Security Investigations division has over 9,800 Special Agents and tactical officers on the tax-paid govt payroll. Complete With perks privileges bonuses and pensions.
Yet, Mayorkas denied Trump’s request for increased security.

Secret Service denied requests for more Trump security
Claims “staffing shortages”
Top officials repeatedly rejected requests from Trump’s security detail for more manpower and gear at events before attempted assassination, at times citing lack of resources, people familiar with the “asks” said.
pic—U.S. Secret Service agents remove former president Donald Trump from the stage during a campaign rally in Butler, Pa. on July 13. (Jabin Botsford/The Washington Post)
By Josh Dawsey and Carol D. Leonnig, July 20, 2024 at 6:48 p.m. EDT, washingtonpost.com
Top officials at the U.S. Secret Service repeatedly denied requests for additional resources and personnel sought by Donald Trump’s security detail in the two years leading up to his attempted assassination at a rally in Pennsylvania last Saturday, according to four people familiar with the requests.
Agents charged with protecting the former president requested magnetometers and more agents to screen attendees at sporting events and other large public gatherings Trump attended, as well as additional snipers and specialty teams at other outdoor events, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe sensitive security discussions. The requests, which have not been previously reported, were sometimes denied by senior officials at the agency, who cited various reasons, including a lack of resources at an agency that has long struggled with staffing shortages, they said.
Those rejections — in response to requests that were several times made in writing — led to long-standing tensions that pitted Trump, his top aides and his security detail against Secret Service leadership, as Trump advisers privately fretted that the vaunted security agency was not doing enough to protect the former president.
