During a House Oversight Committee hearing this week, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) grilled Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle about the recent assassination attempt on former President Trump.
Greene opened her questioning by reminding Cheatle she was under oath.
“Who was the agent in charge? How long has she been the agent in charge, and what is her Secret Service background?” Greene demanded. Cheatle refused to provide specific names, stating, “I’m not going to provide names of our personnel today.”
Greene pressed on, emphasizing the public’s demand for transparency. Cheatle promised to provide accurate information but remained firm on withholding names.
The committee sought details about the advance report and coordination with other intelligence or law enforcement partners.
Cheatle assured compliance with documentation requests but did not specify when the documents would be provided. Greene expressed skepticism, doubting Cheatle’s commitment to transparency.
The congresswoman highlighted the failure of the Secret Service to prevent the incident, citing specific times and events leading up to the shooting.

Greene questioned how the assailant, identified as Crooks, managed to fly a drone and position himself with a gun without being intercepted.
“Two minutes before the shooting, while President Trump has been allowed to take the stage, people see Crooks laying on his stomach in a sniper position on the roof, and they’re yelling, ‘He has a gun,’ and they are trying to alert law enforcement and Secret Service,” said Greene. “Why was Crooks not shot by the snipers? Why was he allowed to be there?”
Cheatle stated that the individual was neutralized once identified as a threat, but Greene argued this response came too late.
“No, you knew that everyone knew,” exclaimed Greene. “The people there knew that there was a danger. They knew there was a threat to President Trump, and it was allowed to happen. Was there a stand-down order, Miss Cheatle? Was there a conspiracy to kill President Trump?”
“Absolutely not,” replied Cheatle.
Greene concluded by questioning Cheatle’s ability to lead the Secret Service, suggesting she consider resignation.
Cheatle responded that the investigation was ongoing and did not directly address Greene’s call for her resignation.
UPDATE 7/23/24: Cheatle resigned today!

Do you believe there was a conspiracy to kill President Trump? Or, do you believe it was bureaucratic and institutional incompetence that afforded Crooks the opportunity to take that shot?

Too many failures from the USSS to simply say “Oh we just got it wrong”. I truly believe these failures were done intentionally due to the disdain the top of the FBI and USSS have for Trump. The big surprise here is, HE SURVIVED.
Bunch of conspiracy monkeys, offering no evidence or proof. Sometimes the simplest solutions are the most correct: USSS botched it, and a gunman got lucky. Solution? Fire the director, bring in an outsider as a replacement, and do a top-down review/reform while at the same time beefing up the agents on both tickets’ details. Even better, force the Pres Debates Commission to let in 3rd party candidates and then offer those candidates protection as well, as with freer debates we’d have a better political situation in which to vote.
Oh wait, I’m sorry, it’s easier to just wear a tinfoil hat and believe your Deep State conspiracies.
Democrats = mentally deficient .
Without a doubt, it was definitely a conspiracy to take Trump out, but they failed to do so. Crooks was obviously the patsy and may have not fired any shots at all. I believe there was a second shooter who did the actual shooting. Bottom line, it was the deep state who wanted Trump bumped off.
Ultimately Trump was allowed to take and stay on stage with an identified threat present. In no way should that have happened even with incompetence, clearing that stage should have been instant and the moment he was identified with a weapon he should have been neutralized those 2 things are SOP for every protection detail.
Democrats have tried to make up lawsuits against Trump because they know this time he can expose them. The New York lawsuit about claiming a property was worth more than it was is a daily crime for homeowners who try to do that with their own home. So phony because lenders don’t go by owners prices, they use their own appraisers. It all started when he first got elected because he broke the politicians plan. They never did any work at their job during the whole four years. Just focused on Trump.
Of course, it was an assassination attempt and the FBI and the SS were in on it. They had people placed on second story of building adjacent to where the shooter fired from a 1/12 pitch roof. The people in that office could have shot the shooter from the window.
This is a failed assassination attempt. I wouldn’t be surprised if they trained the 20 year old shooter for 3 days before sending him up there on the roof to shoot at Trump. The two snipers on the roof behind the stage had plenty of time to take out the shooter. Trump supporters told the police about the shooter on the roof and they also signaled to the snipers on the building behind the stage.
Why aren’t there people being tried for Treason? Ask yourself that.
Everything went according to plan Trump’s plan You fools believe in this little tin god and you deserve what he will give you if he pulls this Bullshit off. If you are lucky the Democrats will save you from your own stupidity. Talk about baffled by bullshit.
He’s alive because that was the plan from the start You are all fools and he’s playing you in the end the truth will come out and you will know just how little he cares about you. Just another little tin god.
Exactly! It was a False Flag Operation with absolutely terrible Crisis Actors. MAGA should understand because they love conspiracies and have had many of their own over the past 17 years.
A man died and two others seriously injured. That was not the plan, or are they collateral damage?
The latter.
Exactly! False Flag Operation with very inept Crisis Actors.
STFU you leftist piece of dog shit.
So , how did your lobotomy go? Bad i guess
To pretend that an untrained shooter, using a 3moa red dot sight, was supposed to just “wing” the guy you hate as a political maneuver is ridiculous.
An AR with a decent optic used by a decent marksman at that range is only capable of +/- 2” accuracy. A “wounding” shot would have been nearly impossible. Only a well-trained sniper, with top shelf equipment might be capable of the shot you’re pretending was planned, but your suspicion to be true, you’d have to admit the secret service (under Biden’s control) was party to a political stunt to make their boss look bad.
Why are there so many leftist bed wetters on a 2A site? Kamaltoe and the left are going to have cheat extra hard this time, lol losers.
I can’t imagine our Federal Government trying to assassinate a political candidate…. Oh, wait, yes I can… It’s much more likely the scenario than incompetence. I would say incompetence would be their cover story and as luck or the Lord would have it that is the case. Don’t think for a minute they would not kill President Trump or YOU if you were in the way.
This just in….SS may not have been providing Counter sniper security at many of Trumps events if not in driving distance of Wash. DC!!!
The whole world knows the Deepstate/Democᘛ⁐ᕐᐷ…ᘛ⁐ᕐᐷ…ᘛ⁐ᕐᐷ tried to whack Trump but failed!
I’m not sure about a conspiracy, but if not it sure seems like gross incompetence and a conspiracy are very similar.
“When did America become the land of the lowest common denominator?”
Goes to show exactly how insane the trump supporters are. To just stay in position even tho there’s a gun pointing at them and Trump.
So a stampede with more injuries is the way to go? Better to keep your mouth shut and let people wonder if you’re stupid than open it and remove all doubt.
You’re about as dumb as they come.
Let’s examine your thought process.
1. If the shooter opened fire on the indiscriminately at Trump plus all his lunatic followers there would have been a stampede.
2. Another option is to hit the ground laying flat for the crowd. After all arnt they supposed to be gun supporters , arnt they trained and educated to know what to do in a situation like that.
You’re a bonafide idiot, thanks for removing all doubt.
Trumps next horay rally should include Captain America shields to protect from active shooter situations. If nothing happens they’ll be great play time body armor
Do you still wet the bed like Joe?
Total lack of accountability . Look at your budget , we have saved millions with job cuts , reduced training , etc . We’ve even given award bonuses for a job well done . Everyone gets to pat themselves on the back , till something happens . Typical government organizations .
I too believe it was a set-up to take Trump out!! Too many errors/issues with the USSS and their handlers!
Yes the conspiracy was between a Jesus dude and some kind of a God due to the high level of evidence that Trump is the anti christ and a direct threat on the Jesus dude
In my opinion, there is too much that doesn’t add up. The secret service majorly dropped the ball and almost had JFK 2.0 on their hands.
Joe Biden and Friends tried to whack Trump!
How could this ever happen? Maybe a few steps:
Recruit somebody who can shoot but doesn’t look like they’re connected to your organization.
Tell your organization to give the appearance that they are guarding Trump, but allow a shot to be made.
At the same time, have the shooter in your sites and as soon as they hit the intended target, neutralize them so they can’t tell the tale.
Play dumb.
I AGREE
I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but I believe it was a contract hit. Can you imagine the conspiracy theories that would be floating around for the next 60 years had this POS been successful? Just like the Kennedy assassination.
Conspiracy to kill Trump? So hilarious and ridiculous. If they wanted him dead, he would be dead and they sure as hell wouldn’t relied on a 20 yr. old nobody with no true skills to do the job. He would have been taken out from much further away with one shot. I thought the same as the rest of you right after this happened, but no way was this a set up. Sloppy protection, YES!, but no conspiracy. We all wish there was but there wasn’t, no way. Like the crazies far left wing, some off you are too far right wing…..THINK! and quit sounding so ignorant and making the rest of all of us look so stupid….you do have a brain you know.
One of the best ways to make it not look like a conspiracy is to make it look so inept that it couldn’t possibly be a conspiracy.
We don’t even know if the kid ever fired a shot. No ballistics info. Water tower “much further away” may have been location of the so-called second shooter.
Thank you, Comrade, for your support. Keep repeating the lie because, eventually, someone will believe it!
Ballistic sound analysis recordings now indicating their were 3 different weapons fired at 3 different distances. The independent organization/peeps are doing more investigations than the fvcking FBI.
One of the best ways to conceal a conspiracy is to make it look so outlandish that it couldn’t possibly be a conspiracy.
should guns be taken away from the BFI? as they have proven to be lying gas bags.
If it wasn’t an intentional act to leave the door open, then the SS agent in charge is one of the stupidest people on earth.
Folks, every time you hear about a government conspiracy, remember this is the same government that runs Amtrak. Any government conspiracy would likely work about as well as Amtrak does. Ever ridden Amtrak?
As the investigation unfolds, you’ll be surprised to learn plain old incompetence, a rushed schedule, and likely short staffing are all enough to create the circumstances that allowed an event like this to happen. The real conspiracy here is the nature and extent of the injury to Trump’s ear.
Gotta feel bad for MTG though. No matter what kind of batshit crazy BS she peddles for Trump, it’ll never be good enough for him.
The best government conspiracies are most likely the ones that are successful and we never have never heard of.
I fully believe the old saying about no matter what bad things you think the government done, they’ve done way worse.
The Tuskegee experiment is a great example.
Sounds like you also peddle BS. Howya liking those open borders and triple grocery bills?
they are killing Kennedys’ reported by Jaqualine Kennedy, they are running the puppet government when they put the demented puppet in the white house, and they attempted to assassinate the Republican Candidate so they could win another election. fbi brought America the fake russia russia russia investigation and democrats are destroying America for china and iran.
any vote for any democrat is a vote for the destruction of America and our Constitution and Bill of Rights.
I honestly believe that there was a conspiracy to kill Trump. They tried lawfare; it didn’t work. Biden couldn’t beat him. So they conspired to kill him. That didn’t work. Now they put Harris in to run against him. That won’t work because she has too much liberal baggage. They are now trying to hide her past. That’s not working. The Democrats will try again to kill him because that is the only way they can stay in power.

Yes. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee doesn’t hire CAREER CRIMINAL THUGS like Dyjuan Tatro as SENIOR ADVISORS, who has a documented criminal history as a drug-trafficker, slasher, murderer (witnesses too terrified to testify against him) without an ulterior motive. What the hell can he bring to the table except to act as liaison between Democrat Politicians and the DANGEROUS CRIMINAL ELEMENT. Democrats have already proved they will break the law, and have been doing it since 1827, to achieve their political goals. That was the year in which, in NYC, they violated immigration laws by giving US Citizenships to newly arrived immigrants in a matter of DAYS rather than the 5 years it took. In 1876, in Louisiana, South Carolina and Florida, they attempted massive election fraud, but it was caught in time and tens of thousands of bogus Democrat “votes” were thrown out.

Posting things like this on X (the former Twitter) got my banned by Rabid Democrat Partisan and CEO of X Linda Yaccarino Madrazo, in spite of Elon Reeve Musk’s insistence that X is a “Free Speech Public Forum”. Bah. Humbug. Lies.
Exactly….Democᘛ⁐ᕐᐷ…ᘛ⁐ᕐᐷ a criminal outfit at this point and they don’t even hide it as the fake news runs cover for them.
democrats lie and Americans die
any vote for any democrat is a vote for the destruction of America. period
Yes.
ya think…….
Everything points to a stand down order. A wait and see approach to see if Trump was killed. It sure looks intentional.
