The Day Congress Broke The Secret Service Director: The Case of the Missing Shell Casings

In a stunning setback for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, the Wall Street Journal ran a truly tragic story yesterday headlined, “Secret Service Director Resigns Amid Anger Over Trump Shooting.” The Secret Service’s second-best woman director in history resigned the day after her harrowing Congressional testimony, during which members of Congress harangued her till her hair started falling out in clumps, but she still stubbornly insisted she would not quit.

The next day, she changed her mind, which after all has been a woman’s prerogative ever since Eve took a second look at that apple tree. But let’s look closer. I smell a rat. Since Director Cheatle was so determined to hang on she endured the full Nancy Mace treatment, it seems obvious Cheatle was forced out.

Her crime was not failing to protect President Trump, don’t be silly. Her crime was bungling the Congressional hearing and making everybody look bad.

Don’t be judgy. It isn’t easy to sit in Congress for hours being publicly castigated and keep giving circuitous, mind-numbing non-answers that go nowhere but still end the line of questions. For instance, compare what you’ve seen of Cheatle’s testimony with the masterful performance by human cockroach Anthony Fauci, who could write the book on answering questions without answering anything.

If I had to guess, I’d guess it was one particular remarkable line of questioning that signed Director Cheatle’s professional death warrant:

CLIP: Director Cheatle flat refuses to tell Congress about the shell casings (2:16)

In the clip, Representative Lisa McClain (R-Mi.) pressed former Director Cheatle about the number of shell casings found next to the shooter’s body. This is important because the audio recorded seven to eight shots fired, but in two groups: five wild shots and two to three very accurate shots, one of which clipped President Trump’s ear, right next to his brain, and important part of the body that many people desire to retain intact. (But not all. See, e.g., President Cabbage.)

There is a rumor whistleblowers told Congress that only five shell casings were found by the shooter. If true, that fact would prove there had been a second, better-trained shooter at the Butler rally, which would change the entire trajectory of the conversation, if you’ll allow me that minor pun.

Former Director Cheatle made a critical rookie mistake while she was not-answering the shells question. See if you can spot it:

MCCLAIN: “Did the FBI share with you how many shell casings were on the roof?”

CHEATLE: “Yes.”

MCCLAIN: “How many were there?”

CHEATLE: “I would refer you to the FBI blah blah blah.”

MCCLAIN: “You know the answer to the question, you just refuse to answer the question from the member of Congress who subpoenaed you to be here … what are you hiding, my friend?”

At the very instant Cheatle admitted she did know the number of shell casings —one of the most important facts going— former Director Cheatle burned her toast, sealing her fate in blackened, inedible crumbs.

In other words, Cheatle, who was supposed to be pretending her Agency was falling over itself with helpfulness, accidentally exposed the coverup, which was an unforgivable crime. It became immediately obvious to the shadow Administration it needed a more skilled, Fauci-like leader of the Secret Service who knows better how to make it look like the agency is cooperating, without actually cooperating.

Not only that, but former Director Cheatle performed badly compared to state police officials, who testified yesterday. The Wall Street Journal ran its story headlined, “Police Commander Provides More Details on Trump Rally Shooting.

The Pennsylvania police officials provided much more detail than did former Director Cheatle. Colonel Christopher Paris of the Pennsylvania State Police told Congress that not only wasn’t the shooter’s roof covered, but he admitted that the tallest structure near the rally was the water tower — and that the Secret Service did not protect the tower, either:

To its credit, the Times reported —pay attention— that the Secret Service delegated coverage of the shooter’s roof to Butler police. The Secret Service approved Butler’s security plan, which specifically disclosed its officers would be in the building and would not be on the roof:

Therefore, members of Biden’s Administration knew ahead of time that the shooter’s roof would be unguarded. That fact is remarkably similar to the fact that enigmatic shooter Thomas Crooks also, apparently, knew the roof would be unguarded since he hauled along a heavy, unwieldy ladder with which to climb onto that very same roof. Ladders, after all, aren’t the sort of gear you haul around in your pants pocket ‘just in case.’

In another plot twist, Colonel Paris testified that investigators found eight shell casings around Mr. Crooks’s body on the warehouse’s roof. It was unclear from the article how Col. Paris found that out, whether he’d heard it somewhere, just assumed it, or was only guessing. The Times mentioned the fact in passing without further detail or even saying which ‘investigators’ found the casings.

Their wheels are coming off their wagon and the horse wont pull it its getting worse for them all involved in their coverup

Democrats still seem more interested in blocking investigations and politicizing their failure. This morning, fat turd Nadler tried to blame the assassination attempt of Trump on HIS rhetoric, specifically his “bloodbath” statement, leaving out, as Democrats always do, all context and the fact he was referencing ECONOMICS. This is why Democrats can never accomplish anything positive.
