No one at the SS has been fired or suspended. Rowe, Jr. doesn't want to 'put his thumb on the scale' and suspend anyone until the 17-day and counting internal investigation concludes.

Well, Miss Marple suspects the guy who missed is probably back in remedial sniper training…

[Psalm 73]

No one at the SS has been fired or suspended because maybe they're busy setting up the next attempt?

"Erik Prince, please pick up the white courtesy phone."

[Leep]

He doesn’t want to accuse anyone of incompetence while he conducts his incompetent investigation.

[Empire_of_Liberty]

I hope that Annie Oakley has, at least, been issued a stapler to replace her handgun.

[Col Frank Slade]

Government job.

Getting fired nearly impossible.

[MayflowerMadam]

Keep

[Liz]

Acting S/S Director Rowe, Jr. told Congress “he doesn’t want to
suspend anyone” until the neverending internal investigation concludes.

Translation from government-ese: There’s so much to cover-up, the guy needs time to bury it all-

[silverleaf]

You mean Agent Fupa? Who is back to the detail watching Biden swim in the nude….

I listened a bit to Dan Bongino, who still maintains Trump’s assassination attempt was a catastrophic failure. No, it was a strategic stand down by the SS to enable the assassin to do his job.

These SS are supposed to be highly trained, but obstensibly did not have the capability that the untrained observers in the crowd did when they were screaming about a man on the roof with a gun.

And the one guy, the guy on site in charge, has still not appeared before Congress.

Maybe it was the Don Knotts type woman who could not operate her holster.

The acting director should be fired first. He denied Trump’s request for extra security multiple times. I don’t want people just fired I want them prosecuted for conspiracy to commit murder and attempted murder. This was a plot to assassinate president Trump. There’s no way this all happened by coincidence.

[AndyJackson]

The only reason it is hard is because no one wants to see the process get started. It sets a bad precedent and demoralizes the rest of the incompetent bureaucracy. Besides when you have incompetents deciding who to fire, they will target the competent ones who make everyone else look bad

[Ronald77]

Because they are all democrats. Local police will be the scape goats.

[Captain Walker]

These SS are supposed to be highly trained, but obstensibly did not have the capability that the untrained observers in the crowd did when they were screaming about a man on the roof with a gun.

I think you might have seen too many movies; these people are as flawed as any other human being in any other profession.

My experience here in the "greatest country in the world" is that it can't get a lunch order right; I have no problem believing that the mediocrity extends to those assigned to guard our VIPs.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

No sir, indicted for treason, arrested, tried and upon conviction sentenced to death. With the new video having come out showing the shooter loping across the roof in full view of spectators, it was not incompetence, it was deliberate.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

I don’t want people just fired I want them prosecuted for conspiracy to commit murder and attempted murder.

If this is not done, MARK MY WORDS, we're next.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Why? Because the Secret Service knows that the GOP won’t do a damn thing other than talk tough in show hearings. Will the GOP force a reorganization of the Secret Service? Require them to have an independent auditor with the authority to fire people?

[FlingWingFlyer]

They have to get permission from their director, Barry Sombrero. He’s still running the “17 intelligence communities” chicken coop.

[Badboo]

WTH? Fire themselves? He funny.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Because they need all hands on deck for the cover up.
