Comer announces probe into Trump shooting, will call Secret Service director to hearing
NY Post ^ | 7/13/24 | Ryan King

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer announced that his panel will open an investigation into the shooting against former President Donald Trump.

Comer (R-KY) revealed that he has already contacted the Secret Service and requested its director appear for a hearing on what authorities are investigating as an assassination attempt against the former president.

“I have already contacted the Secret Service for a briefing and am also calling on Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to appear for a hearing. The Oversight Committee will send a formal invitation soon,” Comer said in a statement.

Trump, 78, was delivering a speech at a rally in Butler, Pa. when multiple shots were fired just after 6 pm ET. The former president, who was seen with blood gushing from his right ear claimed afterward that he “felt the bullet ripping through my skin” and that he “was shot with a bullet.”

The suspected shooter, who has not yet been identified, was “neutralized by Secret Service, according to the agency. At least one rally-goer is dead and two other spectators were badly injured, per the Secret Service.

“My prayers are with President Trump and the victims of the assassination attempt at today’s rally in Pennsylvania. I thank the brave Secret Service members who put their lives at risk to protect President Trump and for the American patriots in the audience who helped others who were hurt,” Comer went on.

She’ll give a bunch of “we never comment on ongoing investigations” answers. She’ll sit there and repeat that a hundred times without batting an eyelash.

She'll be fired before any hearing. The Dems need a scapegoat below Biden, especially since his comment last week that, "It’s time to put Trump in a bullseye” is all over the 'net.

It would be a distraction, and these days the Dems seem to always need a distraction.

Did anyone read the Comer’s pink perfumed letter asking for the director to voluntarily show up Monday.

Nothing compulsive about it.

Hearing does not result in anything. Special prosecutor may do

This will buried by DOJ and FBI, without comment, due to the “ongoing investigation”.

Somebody reminded me about female Secret Service agents who said they would not take a bullet for Trump. I wonder if any of them were assigned to Trump’s detail...

Are we supposed to believe that after trying to jail Trump for the past year, this is merely a coincidence?

Suppose Trump had been killed. What then? Pure chaos. Congress has no credibility. None.

The SS director needs to be fired before she testifies so she doesn’t have to worry about losing her job for telling the truth. Truth is likely foreign to this DEI hired director.
