In a move seemingly timed to ease the immediate pressure on Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Sunday night announced the formation of an independent review panel charged with examining the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, which appeared to illuminate an astonishing degree of Secret Service incompetence.
The unusual Sunday night announcement came about 12 hours before Cheatle’s 10 am Monday appearance before the House Oversight Committee, which Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has touted as “must-watch TV,” telling CNN, “She’s got a lot to answer for. And those concerns are bipartisan.” Underscoring that notion, Oversight Committee member and Democratic Pennsylvania Rep. Brendan Boyle has already demanded that Cheatle resign…
Related: Senator Ron Johnson just confirmed in this interview that he believes multiple weapons and multiple shooters were involved in the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump.
And the “ongoing investigation” dodge begins immediately.
Updated with this from Joel Mowbrat;
We’re only starting to dig into the cover-up of Biden’s cognitive decline. Everyone knows Kamala Harris is going to be under the microscope.
But key to the cover-up was Kim Cheatle. Look at her record (detailed below), and it’s clear she was hired to help conceal from the public Biden’s true condition.
No one has more direct access to — and intimate knowledge of — the President than his protection detail. Cheatle would know this, since she had served on both Joe and Jill Biden’s details during the Obama years.
THAT is why she was hired. The Biden family needed someone they could trust in charge of the Secret Service.
@stevennelson10 reported that Jill Biden and top advisor Anthony Bernal pushed hard for Cheatle’s hiring. His excellent @nypost story then implied that it was for some DEI purpose.
But this misses the point about how the Bidens have operated, prioritizing secrecy regarding @POTUS’s true condition over pretty much everything else. That’s why even the White House residence staff was kept at arm’s length.
It also helps explain what @SusanCrabtree had reported — and initially denied by the Secret Service — that the agency had diverted resources and manpower to a Jill Biden event that same day.
This inexplicable decision was just confirmed by whistleblowers through @EMPOWR_us, whom Senator @ChuckGrassley cited in a letter this weekend.
In short, the USSS assigned only 3 Secret Service post standers to Trump’s rally in Butler, PA, compared to 12 post standers for Jill Biden’s (much, much smaller) dinner event an hour away in Pittsburgh.
Given the known threats to Trump — even aside from the apparently credible threat from Iran — this disparity only makes sense thru the prism of Cheatle’s bias from a close, personal bond with the Bidens.
The Bidens forged such a bond with @POTUS’s personal doctor, Dr. Kevin O’Connor. Per terrific reporting by @SchreckReports, O’Connor became close, personal friends with the Bidens during the Obama administration, and he even pursued business together with James Biden.
Everyone serious understands that Dr. O’Connor’s rosy pronouncements about Biden’s health were central to the cover-up of Biden’s rapidly detoriating condition.
Now, it is time to ask these questions about what Cheatle was expected to help cover up. Congress should be asking these questions, though if the past week is any indication, it will probably be @dbongino and/or @SusanCrabtree getting those answers first.
We certainly need (and deserve) answers regarding Cheatle’s cozy relationship with the Bidens — especially to what extent hiring her for covering up Biden’s cognitive decline helped lead to the assassination attempt on July 13.
UPDATE 2: After a contentious hearing in which Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle failed to answer some of the most basic questions surrounding the failed assassination attempt on Donald Trump on July 13, the House Oversight Committee called on Cheatle to resign.
It was done so she can answer all the questions with “I cannot comment on an ongoing investigation.”
All these hearings before House committees are just PR, yelling matches + posturing BS. There’s no real Judicial / no real executive consequences. And Cheatle, ok she’s not from the caste of forked tongue lawyers but she’s a swamp dweller and for sure she knows how to speak without saying anything.
Unless Trump takes EVERYTHING (WH+House+Senate), the swamp will continue to exist.
Except when someone not on the team refuses to testify, they go to jail.
I wish Cheatle suddenly identified as a Japanese Samurai.
She’d have disemboweled herself by now and she would not have been allowed a Second to lop off her head.
Senator Ron Johnson just confirmed in this interview that he believes multiple weapons and multiple shooters were involved in the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump.
This is the reason why Dems decided Biden is not running. He should have gone with paddle board drowning instead of shooting.
Sen. Ron Johnson undermines everything he is doing when he says he has seen interesting analysis by “experts” on the internet (Info Wars) that “prove” more than one shooter was firing at Trump. Sorry. That’s not what my ears and eyes have witnessed … and it sounds like a conspiracy bridge too far.
The more outlandish the claims … the faster this will all conclude that MAGA-hat people are just ignorant yokels who need to go back to bumfkcu America. Case closed. Don’t be willfully stupid. You are undermining any serious investigation.
There are real experts that have analyzed this carefully. For you to keep denying it instead of looking at the analysis is pointless. Here’s a good one: https://rumble.com/v57pw9m-solid-information-indicating-there-was-more-than-one-shooter.html
As I’ve posted elsewhere … now … those all so sciency audio analyses need to map out locations where these additional snipers were shooting AT PDJT. And why did these “professional” snipers miss Trump too? They’re pretty shitty marksmen too, eh? How did they get their guns in and out of the Rally? And where did these additional bullets go? They didn’t hit Trump, so what did they hit? Note: all the bullets accounted for came from the same firing line as the kids shooting. No other line of fire has produced a single casualty or evidence.
There’s a thing called “the preponderance of evidence” … you can focus 100% of your analysis on “sound” … but sadly … there isn’t a single other piece of evidence that supports the “acoustic” evidence. None. Sorry … but bring some corroborating evidence … and then I’ll start considering the legitimacy of this acoustic nonsense.
And PUHLEEZE … haven’t we yet learned that the “experts” are just as likely to be horribly WRONG as they are anywhere near correct.
I believe that is known as Bumf**k East Egypt!
Walter -you are echoing my thoughts and I would say that’s a high probability. He would still be running if they had succeeded.
Joel Mowbrat nails it with this statement—” 3 Secret Service posted at Trump’s rally in Butler—–compared to 12 Secret Service at Jill Biden’s dinner”. this says it all——-A set up!
Sorry that should be Joel Mowbray
Talk about resting bitch faces. Sheesh.
From the same mold as CBC’s Tait.
FIFY: CBC’s Taint
From now on, a white, female diversity hire shall be known as a “cheatle”. As in: “Juthtin the Turd just appointed a cheatle to run CSIS”.
No one should doubt her competence. She had one job, to make sure their was a lapse and hole in security so they could set up a patsy to take the fall for a deep state (IC) bullet. She did it admirably. The only part that failed was the shot.
Her job *might* be safe for now, but come Jan 20, the first thing President Trump will do is fire her. I were her, I’d be looking for a new job.
yup.
imho ‘resigned’ really does looked better on a CV than ‘fired’.
because ‘resign’ always gets to go first in line. and can be covered by legitimate beefs like they did not support ethical conduct and give examples.
as opposed to ‘duh, uh, l wuz sacked for breaching their ethical rules uhuh uhuh uhuh’
regardless, the clock is running down on her.
Just a note.
The ss who failed miserably managed with one shot to kill the shooter.
Hard to question him now.
let’s examine the body of the shooter and the blood splatter evidence … oops! Can’t do ANY of those forensics … because the FBI removed the shooters body and hosed down the roof.
Why?
We all know why. And I expect the body has already been cremated … so no toxicology reports will be forthcoming. So was the FBI drugging the shooter? We’ll never know.
Anyone here buying the BS of a Lone Shooter…?
An “OBVIOUSLY well skilled” marksman…?
LMAO…skilled alright – NOT.
Seriously..?? This kid couldn’t make his Hi school Rifle Team.
I don’t care what the MSM or the Dems have to say…..HE WAS their Fall guy.
Trump did NOT have his normal SService protection.
Have any of you seen the reports of the women sitting right behind Trump, wearing white top/Black BaseBall Hat. She nods 1/2 second before the shots, & upon hearing them calmly picks up her iPhone and starts recording…
WHO the F Does that..?? When the rest of the crowd is going crazy
Very very suspicious…
Globalist CABAL – NEO-Cons – Democrats – the Left – 3 letter Agencies:
All of whom will lose if Trump becomes President.
Its gonna be interesting…and the most important ELECTION EVER held on planet Earth.
Here’s what I haven’t seen … a drawing depicting the building window, from which the second shooter is supposed to have fired … with the firing line extended to Trump’s stage. It would show a firing line running into the back of the flanking bleachers set up for Rally goers. The same bleachers where two people were mistakenly shot by the 20yo … from above.
Show me where the second or third shooters were positioned. Give me an aerial and a ground view of their firing lines. Additional shooters … firing at Trump … are nonsense.
Bingo. Leave the silliness to the left.
Jamie, you and Kenji nailed it. Indeed, leave the stupidity to the Far Left.
Let me add that we also haven’t heard from ANY of those Rallygoers who were right next to all those Glass Company buildings screaming about a guy on the roof with a gun … pointing right at the guy on the roof … say ANYTHING about hearing another shooter … from a window or anywhere else.
Come on ma’aaaan …
– And if it WAS a carefully prearranged set-up……
– And if it WAS the Deep State that was gunning for Trump that day……
– Surely they would’ve rounded-up a more competent shooter? They’d be planning to snipe him anyway so he wouldn’t be doing any ‘fessing, so wouldn’t they get one who could hit his target at what was almost point-blank range for a rifle? And who knew that REAL assassins don’t shoot for the head, people move their heads quickly and constantly especially when giving political speeches and you might only manage to nick their ear, so you aim for center of mass because they’re most unlikely to move that out of the way and with the right ammunition the hit is just as likely to be fatal? And given him some of the right ammunition? And given him a better rifle?
Red flag on the play; I don’t believe the second-shooter bit. Listening to it, there were a few slow shots, then five-or-six rapid shots where he was hosing the area and hoping to get lucky, then one deeper shot and that was the end of it. This has the hallmarks of an amateurish young guy who could muster-up a drone to survey the area and bring-along a golf rangefinder, but couldn’t buy a couple boxes of practice ammo and learn to shoot beforehand; I mean, they’re still jawing over the Dallas police charging up the grassy knoll after Kennedy was shot. And the FBI dragging the body away and hosing down the roof? – I’m sure there’re hundreds of disaster-tourists sightseeing there already, even though the gore is gone.
I weep for our race……
And that shot was from something like 250 yards, with just the perp’s forehead exposed behind the apex of that roof (at least that was one report I read). If so, quite some shot.
Ocasio-Cortez asked some pointed questions. Is she maneuvering to a political high ground to run for Biden’s job? Pretty easy for her to look smart compared to Harris. Also Obama would delight in backing her against Hillary.
Scripted. I have socks that are smarter than AOC.
If you are a Democrat it doesn’t matter how smart (or stupid) you are.
Beat me to it …. I have a kitchen full of small appliances that have a greater IQ than the occassional cortex!
BTW … did you see the TX Rep. who brought the human profile targets that he shot after recreating the shooters set up and distance. He said the last time he shot his AR-15 was about 6-years ago. He showed the targets that had 19 out of 20 head shots. Not bad for someone who doesn’t practice with his rifle.
The idea that this 20 yo “Kid” couldn’t make this shot is utter nonsense.
correct.
what happened between missing out the target shooting team and the roof?
hit his stride with training? from who? a ‘stranger’ takes him ‘under his wing’ get him ‘up to speed’. all plausible. he didnt have a friggin blunderbus.
https://youtu.be/FsvJzfXZI18?si=8TF46UJol_zAAbRG
This one makes some good points.
Kid appeared to only have a red dot sight. Dot would be bigger than head at that distance. Add in being spotted, people shouting, a cop supposedly peeking over the edge. Knowing you’re about to be wasted by a sniper…. shot starts to get difficult.
If that’s even the kid’s gun. Looks more like something an FBI agent or cop would have for storming a house.
They didn’t want to lose a good scope.
Idiot Tlaib makes this hearing about gun control. We might as well talk about roof slope control.
Mentioning Timothy McVeigh is always a good comeback to the ‘gun controllers’.
I liked the Rep. who said the roof slope was 1:12 … the same slope that is approved for a wheelchair ramp by the ADA … hahahaha ha ha ha ha … this woman is a LIAR. Our government LIES
It’s unfortunate they didn’t have any disabled secret service agents on-site at the rally.
furthermore slope provides PROTECTION.
what this windbag dei is saying her agents must go to the flat roofs.
no slope you can slide down for cover.
someone’s going to bring it up *somewhere* in the ‘investigation’
cops investigating cops never works. even when conclusions based on thorough examination of evidence because *optics* dont permit it.
but they do it anyway with impunity. why wud dat be?
As usual, the process is the punishment. Cheatle will have answers in 60 days. She needs to return to Cheeto protection.
I’ve seen enough thus far to indicate that this was an inside job, and that it’s entirely plausible there was more than just this nerd boy shooter. And then there’s the NYTimes photographer with the tight shot of Trump’s head at 1,600 FPS. Pretty sure he was tipped off that Trump was going to take a head shot shortly after he took the stage and if you want a Pulitzer, be sure to get some pix of Trump’s head exploding.
Jeez! 2 + 2 = 17. It’s the same math the gossiping old bags used when they were spreading bullshit on the “party” telephone lines we had when I was a kid.
“I’m pretty sure …”
“Someone told me …”
“Well, you never know …”
holy humping hannah ‘guessing or lying?????!!!!!.
this guy is pissed pissed. gets right into it.

cant top this vid today so lm going outside and harvest my pears, their coming off with a twist ergo ready. bartletts. some got that nice red patch.
take care SDA.
This SS head, Cheatle who received a 9% raise … was unable to answer any substantive, detailed question. Plus … when questioned by the ex NCAA wrestler … she claimed the SS often uses “alternate means” other than added agents as requested. What Jordan failed to do is to drill down on THAT excuse by asking what “alternate means” were used with each request by the Trump camp? She was able to weasel out spewing generalities and nonsensical non sequiturs. Shameful.
Enjoy the pears
It’s called the “Secret” Service because we’re not allowed to know how incompetent nor politically motivated they are.
“so lm going outside and harvest my pears, their coming off with a twist ergo ready.”
Thanks. Now I’m drooling on my keyboard. I’m a native BCer, from fruit country, living in SK. Very little fruit here, other than the picked-green stuff in the supermarkets that SKers think is real fruit.
So, just who is going to choose the members of this so-called “independent” investigation committee? Just how “independent” will it be? Will the results of the investigation be classified until our great grandchildren are approaching retirement age?
It’s going to be the coverup commission.
I hear Trudeau has offered David Johnston as a special investigatuer.
Beauty!
It seems the American system loves to put on these shows for the entertainment of the masses, which the TV networks love, as it gives a stupid person the idea there is actually some consequence for whatever is being investigated.
Look at how many “stars” these things produce, hell I still remember Trey Gowdy from the investigation he starred in, and even Sam Ervin when he starred in the Watergate investigation!
That seems to be the purpose, give politicians a moment to polish their credentials, then do sweet f-a.
I doubt the affirmative action hire will even be fired from her job,though she might quit to be hired by CNN or MSNBC and four times her current salary.
Late breaking news…

6 ways to Sunday … and Trump was shot on a Saturday. One more day left in the Intelligence Agency Arsenal
Yep, Cheatle is a classic Deep State apparatchik She is a gatekeeper, protecting the Biden’s from revealing information… relevant, crucial information the American public NEEDS to know about the POTUS state of mental deterioration. It is unconscionable that America has a POTUS as compromised as Biden.
It is self evident that The Deep State is running America at the moment … unelected, unaccountable, apparatchiks. So unaccountable … Cheatle can preside over … her words … a “catastrophic FAILURE” of her job. The Deep State apparatchiks cannot even be fired for “catastrophic failure”.
This ISN’T my country. I have no idea what THIS is !!!!
I doubt any of the Democrats in any office in the land could be shamed into telling the truth about any topic.
When they’re shown to have broken the law, don’t ask for apologies or remorse, simply state the number of years in the pen are required and have at it.
“he resigned, he resigned…” well those types of people have long passed on from the civil service. It’s a generational thing and I don’t expect it to return any time soon.
DEI gets dysfunctional when it comes to investigations.. Are you investigating the situation or the politics around it? ..
Cheatle makes Sergeant Schultz look like Joe Friday. Nine days after the event and it’s still, “I see nuffink, I hear nuffink, I know nuffink”. Why do they pay these people for g@#$ sake?
Can they just go ahead and get the Kabuki over with, and defund her?
While I appreciate the suggestion that yapping at her isn’t the most effective tool in Congress’s Arsenal … I also might point out that defunding the SS might be a little problematic …
Two words: Cover up.
Two more words: Set up.
I still say that this isn’t mere incompetence, but we’ll see where this investigation leads us — that is, if it isn’t covered up, like they did with the J6 videos.
I can understand why the Republicans are upset with Cheatle (gotta love that name), but why are the Dems on board? I will speculate that a) she knows too much, (even though she didn’t show it earlier today) and b) her bungling of the operation exposed their agenda/cover up of Biden’s diminished capacity, so Cheatle gets thrown under the bus. Mind you… I have no sympathy for demoncrat apparatchiks. She made her bed. Time to lie in it.
