Unfortunately, this Administration is populated by incompetents and freaks who failed upwards...just like Joe Biden himself.

It's probably too much to expect accountability from people whose boss doesn't even know the meaning of the word.

Her incompetence is so obvious that I do not see any downside for Biden in firing her. I would think that even his supporters would think that he had to do it.

But that’s just how I see it. Far be it from me to try to figure out how Joe Biden thinks.

She's a friend of Jill so I think the good "Dr." will have the last word...

I can’t argue with that.

We have more to learn but the arrows point towards intentionality. She's either complicit or the person on site was. Yet another case for the ending of Qualified Immunity. Ships captains and Airline pilots are held to criminal charges following a disaster. Why not hold Agents in charge to the same standard? I've tried to imagine what would have happened to us had Trump been killed. The thought boggles my mind because the people would not be passive. As a former, retired carpenter, those low pitch roofs are ridiculously easy to work on. I must believe her days are limited no matter what Jill B thinks. There must be a massive reckoning here. Was a woman in charge there?

I suspect if the CEO of Pepsi was grazed by a bullet on Ms Cheadle's watch she would have been gone forthwith. But as we all know in government the only way to be canned is to be caught with your hands in the cookie drawer, indicted, convicted and sentenced and then maybe you'll be gone but your pension will still be secure.

Does this mean that a less fit male agent could simply identify as a woman to keep his job?

Very well said, Mr. Lucas.
