Ex-CIA officer: Too many questions not to push through with investigating assassination attempt

Kimberly Cheatle’s sudden resignation today as director of the U.S. Secret Service after days of defiance doesn’t change the need for clarity, according to former CIA station chief Scott Uehlinger. He has concerns about loose ends that don’t add up – and he’s is not alone in calling for an investigation. “I am extremely skeptical,” he said.

Director Cheatle has been the center of focus since former President Donald Trump narrowly escaped death on July 13 when an assassin’s bullet sliced his ear from inexplicably close range at an outdoor event in Butler, Pennsylvania.

On Monday, Democrats and Republicans in rare bipartisanship demanded answers from a basically nonresponsive Cheatle, whose rise to guarding the leader of the free world, it appears, was influenced by a commitment to DEI hiring practices and her own connections.

“What’s extremely sad and frustrating about the more we allegedly know, the more questions we have about what’s going on. Things are not passing the sniff test, so to speak,” Rep. Michael Cloud (R-Texas) said on American Family Radio Tuesday.

“To not have every answer after nine days is understandable. To not have any answers after nine days is unforgivable,” Cloud told show host Jenna Ellis.

Investigations take time. Cheatle could have expedited the process but did not, and Americans need answers now, the Texas lawmaker said.

“President Trump is going to be traveling around the country. He’s going to be holding events. We’re in a campaign season where both candidates are going to be running around speaking to people. We need to be getting answers and making adjustments immediately,” he said.
