    I would bet a lot of money that he was acting alone. This director doesn't need a reason to deflect questions to others.

      Why can’t you answer the damn question?

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        The distance between her claim that the buck stops with her, and her inability to answer any questions or take any responsibility for any specific decisions, is just monumental and pathetic.

                Dumpster fire of an incident, dumpster fire of a coverup. I guess she'll stay until the news cycle moves on, then she'll resign.

                        Dumpster. Fire.

                        And it will not be a "tweak or two" to fix this. This is a culture of laziness and apathy. A pathetic bureaucracy was directing boots on the ground secret service duties.

                          From my understanding, it isn't unusual to "rely" upon local police for perimeter work, BUT it would seem highly appropriate to dedicate at least one Secret Service staff member to be a liaison AND be present to coordinate with the local police.

                                        She will be lucky to avoid prosecution. Her lack of enlightening information was deliberate.

                                          Difficult to imagine a worse train wreck than yesterday. I felt a little bad for her. But clearly the organization she helmed was dysfunctional.
