The Associated Press reports Tuesday that Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has resigned, following her disastrous testimony before the House Oversight Committee on Monday, and following the agency’s lack of accountability during the assassination attempt against Donald Trump.
The pressure had mounted on Cheatle, with an impeachment charge filed against her on Monday by a representatives and with congressional members from both parties demanding her resignation or firing.
According to AP, she wrote her resignation to the staff in an email:
“I take full responsibility for the security lapse. In light of recent events, it is with a heavy heart that I have made the difficult decision to step down as your director.”
Update: A statement was just released by the White House and attributed to President Joe Biden, who has not been seen for six days:
“Jill and I are grateful to Director Kim Cheatle for her decades of public service. She has selflessly dedicated and risked her life to protect our nation throughout her career in the United States Secret Service. We especially thank her for answering the call to lead the Secret Service during our Administration and we are grateful for her service to our family.
“As a leader, it takes honor, courage, and incredible integrity to take full responsibility for an organization tasked with one of the most challenging jobs in public service.
“The independent review to get to the bottom of what happened on July 13 continues, and I look forward to assessing its conclusions. We all know what happened that day can never happen again. As we move forward, I wish Kim all the best, and I will plan to appoint a new Director soon.”
All well and good until the next DEI mentor takes over. Like Ramaswamy said, “We are not dealing with persons, we are dealing with a MACHINE.”
The federal gov’t IS organized crime. The solution is not politics. It will be spiritual.
Let’s see. Is there an echo chamber? Biden: “I will NOT withdraw from the race!”
Cheatle: “I will NOT resign as USSS director!”
What’s next? This election summer has been crazyville.Democrat’s are on a crazy train. What’s going to happen next? Place your bets. God help us! Trump 2024……
She should still be impeached. And then prosecuted.
“her decades of public service” perhaps decades of failure?
“We especially thank her for answering the call to lead the Secret Service” “As a leader, it takes honor, courage, and incredible integrity to take full responsibility for an organization”.
Was she installed as a fall guy?
Now she can live in terror of sloped roofs on her own time, instead of on our dime.
DEI hire?
Good. I wonder if there will be more charges brought against her by the People or by Trump’s team? Going to be some interesting months ahead!
The rats continue to flee the sinking ship
Under the circumstances, this could not have ended any other way. But as she leaves, Biden points out something that he has failed to do and in light of his mental capacity cannot do, “As a leader, it takes honor, courage, and incredible integrity to take full responsibility for an organization tasked with one of the most challenging jobs in public service.” Of course, we know he didn’t write this or any other missive penned in his name, but he and now Harris will own them.
This woman, a Biden “favorite”, was so inept, she makes the bald, cross dressing, baggage thief look good.
SS knew of the threat, but allowed Trump to walk in front of the assassins rifle, SS snipers had the assassin in their sights for at least two minutes, but waited until he fired before killing him. That is not incompetence. That is attempted murder. Not to worry, the Federal Bureau of Intimidation is on the job, doing what they do best.
