#1 She wont have to. She will get fired when Trump is president.

#2 She should be CHARGED, not allowed to resign.

I still say Ken Paxton for AG. Cruz knows the law but he's too nice. Ken will happily go after these people.

#4 Obstructed view of shooter may have delayed sniper response during attempted assassination of Trump

#5 @4 This still doesn't explain why the SS didn't rush Trump off the stage immediately after learning that a suspicious individual who was likely armed and possibly a sniper was close by at at dangerous distance.

Overly restrictive ROE with regards to firearm use at a public event may be somewhat understandable.

Overly restrictive ROE with regards to purely defensive measures when confronted with a credible, likely deadly threat are unjustifiable.

#6 "The buck stops with me" and yet you're still here.
I guess the buck just stopped and sat down.

#8 How 'bout Kurt Schlicter for AG? Yes / no / somewhere else?

#9 The FBI director has a 10 year term and will be fired. The SS director is a regular appointment. She will resign along with all the other clowns near to shift change. She will be hired by somebody in the private sector that isn’t at risk of being assassinated.

#12 Very bad smell and the investigation hasn't even begun. Just like 9/11, they tried once and they will try again. Trump needs to bring in his own team of security advisors.

#13 I would recommend transportation decoys, both air and ground. I would also recommend increased security for Trump and Vance families. Future Trump rally activity could be VTC Jumbo Screen. Inauguration event should be downsized or VTC.

This madness is not likely to stop.

#15 Agent Butterfinger had no business being in the field, and damn lucky she didn't accidentally shoot someone.

Just the physical match up would have been like me guarding Shaq.

#17 Why should she resign? She's still a woman.

#20 ^ Avoid elevators -- the doors seem to open on empty shafts fortuitously.

#21 We have talked about civil servant needing to play a game of the original Sim City, maybe Sim City 2000.

Let's talk about another game, D.R.A.G.O.N. Force, it's really about picking the right crew for a job.

Fast forward to today's 'futbol simulator' games, it isn't complicated, running a 4-4-2 defense, how do you do a Megan Rapanoe instead of Alexi Lalas?

And how does a player move the ball from center pitch all the way to the penalty box for an unopposed try from the top of the box?

I think these are fair questions.
