Director of the U.S. Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle, has resigned amidst a storm of controversy. But that’s not the end of it – Cheatle’s dishonest testimony before Congress may land her in hot water with perjury charges looming. How did we get here, and what does this mean for the future of our nation’s security?
A Security Disaster at Trump Rally
Earlier this month, former President Donald Trump attended a campaign rally in Butler Township, Pennsylvania. The event turned deadly when a gunman, Thomas Crooks, fired shots from a building 150 yards away, killing one attendee and critically injuring two others. Trump himself narrowly escaped harm, thanks to a Secret Service sniper who took down Crooks. However, the aftermath has revealed a series of alarming failures by the Secret Service.
Cheatle’s Incompetence on Display
During a congressional hearing, Cheatle was grilled by lawmakers about the agency’s disastrous handling of the rally. Her defense? She claimed to be the most qualified person to lead the Secret Service. But the facts speak otherwise. Under her watch, the Secret Service failed to extend the security perimeter to include the building Crooks used for his attack. Instead, they left it to local law enforcement – a decision that proved fatal.
Lies and More Lies
Cheatle didn’t just fail in her duties; she lied about them. She insisted that the Secret Service had not rejected requests from Trump’s campaign for enhanced security measures. This was quickly debunked. Over the weekend, the Secret Service admitted they had, in fact, denied these requests. This blatant lie during her testimony is perjury – a serious crime that cannot be ignored.
Taking Responsibility – Too Little, Too Late
In an email to staff, Cheatle stated, “I take full responsibility for the security lapse.” She claimed it was with a “heavy heart” that she made the “difficult decision” to step down. But this so-called responsibility comes only after her lies were exposed. Cheatle’s resignation is an attempt to dodge the consequences of her dishonesty.
Congressional Hearing Unveils the Truth
The House committee hearing was a turning point. Lawmakers demanded answers, and Cheatle’s responses were filled with deception. She painted herself as a victim of circumstance, yet it was her decisions that put lives at risk. Her inability to provide truthful testimony is not just a breach of trust but a criminal act.
The Aftermath of a Failed Security Operation
The events at the rally highlighted glaring weaknesses in the Secret Service’s protocols. How could they allow Trump to take the stage despite warnings from local police about a suspicious individual? This negligence resulted in a deadly attack that could have been prevented. Cheatle’s leadership has left a stain on the agency’s reputation.
The Call for Justice
Cheatle’s resignation is not enough. Her lies under oath cannot be swept under the rug. The call for perjury charges is growing louder. She must be held accountable for her actions. Perjury is a serious offense, and Cheatle’s dishonesty has jeopardized the safety of a former president and the American people.
A Pattern of Deceit
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen officials lie to cover their failures. But Cheatle’s case is particularly egregious. As the head of the Secret Service, she had a duty to protect and serve with integrity. Instead, she chose to deceive and deflect. The American people deserve better.
Holding Leaders Accountable
If Cheatle is not prosecuted for perjury, it sets a dangerous precedent. It tells other officials that lying under oath is acceptable. We cannot allow this to happen. Our leaders must be held to the highest standards of honesty and accountability.
Final Thoughts
Kimberly Cheatle’s resignation is just the beginning. Her lies during the congressional hearing demand justice. Perjury charges are not only warranted but necessary to restore faith in our security agencies. We must ensure that those in positions of power are held accountable for their actions.

Can’t they hang people for perjury?
I don’t believe they can hang a person for perjury, but they could jail them. I really don’t believe women should be in the secret service in this position. They are not as strong as men.
Cheatle, as we All, must be held accountable for our decisions. She is Not above the law! Prosecute Everyone who has lied under oath!
She lied because what she and her force did came from a higher source and her answers could possibly get her killed or worse..
Anyone who lies to congress should be prosecuted! Let the punishment fit the crime. If not, who needs to tell the truth?
Her DEI goal obviously failed. There are some things a certain gender can do better.
Trump narrowly escaped harm? Wtf? I guess a hole in your ear is not harm!!! Who wrote this crap?
She should be held liable for the death and injuries caused to the other victims as well! Where’s tallest tree? Aiding a murderer!
Cheatle should be interrogated as to who gave her orders to leave building roof unguarded!
“Mistakes”???
How can anyone buy into the lie that these were merely “:mistakes” ???
There are FAR too many red flags here folks – this is what TREASON looks like….
The shooter was showcased in a Blackrock video (now scrubbed), the shooter SHOT from a building OWNED by Blackrock – and despite never leaving the USA……. The shooter had encrypted overseas bank accounts ???
Just how long will Americans keep believing the lies??
I thought that she (he) had failed to allow Trump to be assassinated?After all her boss has painted a ”Bullseye on Trump. Her task was in clear sight.
Why did she resign?
She had the Deep State support to carry out the Trump hit in the first place! She is Golden! …………….if Cheeto stays true and does not fold under pressure.
The DNC controls the Feral leftist courts, the DOJ/CIA/FBI/DHS/CIA Deep State Band Of Traitors. She is untouchable. Maybe the Deep State does not trust her to…stay quiet.
A teary resignation obviously comes first. Later comes a Susan Rice written suicide note. Next 3 self inflcted bullets to the back of her head.
Did I miss a step?
