20 Questions Unanswered After Cheatle Resigns As Secret Service Director
The Federalist ^ | 24 July 2024 | ARIANNA VILLARREAL

Posted on 07/24/2024 7:41:14 AM PDT by Sam77

Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned from her post on Tuesday after a colossal failure that nearly ended in the assassination of former President Donald Trump, but many questions about the violent incident remain unanswered.

“I have made the difficult decision to step down as your Director,” she wrote in an internal letter to the Secret Service following Monday’s House Oversight and Accountability Committee hearing in which members from both sides of the aisle went after Cheatle.

Each of those 20 could easily lead to 20 more. Do the Repthink that they won something by getting her to resign? Let’s hope not.

Best case scenario regarding this whole thing is that it was criminal negligence. Worst case, it was all on purpose. Frankly, this whole thing breaks the “plausible denial” path for me. There is no way they could really all be that stupid. This was intentional. And I’m not talking about the shooter.

The Deep State had a good assassination plan.

It took a miracle for it to fail.

The Deep State has a good coverup plan.

It will take another miracle for it to fail.

*11. Why wasn’t Trump kept off the stage after agents identified Crooks? Was it negligence or nefariousness?

Exactly.

The committees need to request information from new guy. I think he may be the guy sitting behind Cheatle who looked like he was going to throw up while she testified. I don’t know if he is a good guy or not but how he responds to request for info will spell it out.

Question *21:

Who was the SS commanding authority on site? And summon that person immediatly before Congress. Now that question should be resolved by one quick phone call, but the whole investigative body evidently is regarding that as a puzzle co-equal in difficulty as the whole attempted assassination event.

Also, why on earth did they pull Trump’s shoes off and throw them off stage? Bizarre. Flaky.

What college campus is she now Director of Security for, at twice the salary? That will tell you a few of the participants. Silence doesn’t come cheaply.

I highly doubt the majority of Republicans even know what's going on... they're far too busy "patting THEMSELVES on the back!"

"It will take another miracle for it to fail."

All of us, having seen one miracle already then, should be faithful and trust that if it is God's will that they be exposed they will be.

“””Arianna Villarreal is a summer intern at The Federalist.”””


These 20 questions are no different than the many more questions that were asked at the two House hearings.

Arianna may be a nice person, but only being able to cut and paste would not suffice if I were her supervisor.

“””””Who was the SS commanding authority on site? “””””

That is what I want to know, who was the on-site supervisor managing things for the Butler event.

We keep talking about the Secret Service Department as a whole, their head, and we have lots of little things about the individuals like the snipers, the various individual agents with their holstering and sunglasses, but who was in charge of the detail for that event?

Who was the one running the group and overseeing all the parts for the Butler rally?

We do not have a name but we have a lot of detail covered in this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UL-DJI4wEUg

Summary about the Special Agent in Charge in Butler PA that day:

—The normal agent in charge of the Trump security team was replaced at the last minute with a SS agent from Pittsburgh.
—That individual had a reputation for stupidity and gross incompetence.

My opinion: This is standard operating procedure for Deep State plots of various kinds. The idiot in charge gives running room for the bad actors to do the dirty.
