#1 "As your Director, I take full responsibility for the security lapse,"

A lapse is a missed detail like leaving a gate unlocked or failing to set an alarm. When the person you are protecting gets shot in the head, that is total mission failure.

"I love this agency, our mission, and the great men and woken who sacrifice so much every day,"

Did she actually write "woken" instead of "women"? I cannot find the actual text of her letter online.

Given the impression she made at the hearing, I wonder what she was like to work for when she was at Pepsi.

#2 Of course this means the onerous struggle to replace her with some wandering asshat who is even MORE incompetent.

If such a thing is even possible.

#3 Strangely, Cheetos are a Pepsico product too. Pepsico, with its long history of I Hate America upper leadership remarks.

High ranking member of government thought she was a perfect fit for a high director position. I'll guess she was insufferable but with a custom built whisper network so you had to take it. She obviously doesn't care (nor does the entire DEI theory) about her charges, basically taking someone like me and having me play center on the Chief's O-line during the Super Bowl.

#4 She's had an opportunity to examine the preliminary reporting, which she avoided discussing yesterday. My guess is she's running to get off the drop zone before the really heavy drops arrive. She'll be in contact with Morgan & Morgan very soon.

I see a possible Jeffrey Epstein solution looming.

#5 I hope Republicans don't let her off the hook just because she resigned. It's way too easy for her to say it was a "lapse" and then think that she can walk away from it. The assassination attempt and her role in it need to be thoroughly investigated and if criminal charges are appropriate she needs to stand trial.

#6 Regardless she can be brought back in to testify

#10 Should the Democrats still control the Senate? Last I recall, there were only 48 Democrats, but three independents also voted with them, giving them something they could call a majority. Is that still true?
