US Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle confirmed that her agency denied numerous requests for reinforcement of Republic Presidential Candidate Donald Trump’s security before the recent assassination attempt.

Speaking before the US House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, she was asked if the reports that the Secret Service denied numerous requests to reinforce Trump’s security, she claimed that there are cases, when "alternative means" are available to neutralize such threats or such risk. She refused to specify how many such requests were denied.

Apparently, the Secret Service Director and Executives denied requests for more SS protection for President Trump.

Mayorkas needs to resign immediately for telling lies last week about the increased SS requests.

Isn’t it tradition for individuals in the Far East to ameliorate incompetence by committing suicide?

If Mayorkas resigned everytime he lied he would’ve lasted one day.
Besides they would just find another liar to replace him.

They can’t assassinate Trump if he has top notch security guarding him.

“US Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle confirmed that her agency denied numerous requests for reinforcement of Republic Presidential Candidate Donald Trump’s security before the recent assassination attempt.”

Not exactly. She dodged. What she said is that requests may be accommodated using non SS resources.

Anyone can be assassinated if the perp isn’t stupid, is patient, and is willing to die.

It’s been 9 days since the attempted assassination...
No one has been disciplined...
No one has been suspended...
No one has been fired...
No one has resigned in disgrace...
This is the state of our country.

One of the more interesting facts to come out of this testimony is that the Secret Service made numerous requests for greater resource allocation because President Trumps security detail did not have the necessary manpower and resources to properly protect him.

Despite the fact that everyone, including Trump regular event attendees, have made comments that this event was far under staffed and lacked basic resources compared to other Trump campaign events.

Yet Cheatle explicitly stated that no requests were made for adequate resources comparable to previous events for this particular event which coincidentally was the one where there was a successful assassination attempt on President Trump's life.

Why was this particular event so totally messed up - perhaps by design?

The Government/Media complex won't even be talking about this in another week or two. It'll be swept under the rug. For anyone that hasn't yet realized it, this country is in uncharted and dangerous waters.

The hearings will go in a typical spin circle. The media won’t cover it and the Republicans will get nowhere.

Yes, ... by design.

The Disaster of Jao Biden's debate performance convinced the Traitor Democrat Left that Jao could not win despite the greatest Democrat Election Fraud Campaign ever planned.

The only option left to Democrats to remove President Trump from the race was the Final Option.

This is a repeat of the Left’s playbook for the 2012 case of US Ambassador to Libya, J. Christopher Stevens, whose repeated requests for increased security from the US State Department kept falling on HRC’s strangely-deaf ears. Then after 9/11 diplomatic outpost attack that year, he died after vicious torture.

I recall reading the chilling report put out by Stevens and his security team waiting for help at the US Embassy that night, while sneaking the civilians in their charge to safety.

By all accounts, drjill hogged S/S at the overprotected
casino's Italian American event. Trump was left unprotected.

This pushy broad stokes her ambitions even as the country is in turmoil.
As always with her (and the crass Bidens), its Me-First, country last.
