Elijah Cummings up now. Feeling the need to shower, myself.
He’s also questioning the competency and culture of the SS. So far no political posturing from either side.

Yep... you fire everyone on duty at the time. And you fire the head of the SS for allowing this to happen.

In the absence of leadership and accountability, there’s good-ol’ Congressional Oversight.

I want answers. What circumstances allowed this to happen? Protecting POTUS and his family is job number one for the Secret Service. They failed. It’s unconscionable.

Actually, it looks like job number two and it shows. Take a look at their mission statement on their website.
http://www.secretservice.gov/mission.shtml
The mission of the United States Secret Service is to safeguard the nation's financial infrastructure and payment systems to preserve the integrity of the economy, and to protect national leaders, visiting heads of state and government, designated sites and National Special Security Events.

Julia Pierson looks like she can’t fathom the reason she is there answering questions about her leadership performance at the SS! She is just another of the Low intelligence appointees by this Admin.

Okay... Eleanor needs to hire a 9th grader to write for her. Good experience for a young person and would be WAY better than what she apparently writes for herself.

When Baraq assumed office, he declared it is NOW The People’s House.
Then he gets all mad when someone takes him up on that.

Looks like Bill Murray to her back left too.
I have a feeling this whole hearing will refer to the ‘ongoing investigation’, preventing her from answering the most difficult questions.
