I'm guessing that was something her spin doctors made up on the fly. Didn't look steep to me.

Nor to the shooter apparently.

Stranger things have happened. Apparently her EdD from the University of Delaware didn't cover such things.

Have you seen that roof though??? Her weak excuse is so unbelievably absurd it makes me wonder if she has even seen any footage/pics of the assasin's roof at all. The Counter Sniper team, of which there is much footage, was on a MUCH steeper pitch roof. I mean, the pics of the CAT/SWAT guys standing over the dead body on said roof prove it was almost flat. I saw a video yesterday of a cow literally walking on a steeper roof in response to her claim.

She is going to be lit up in the Congressional hearing on Monday at 10EST for far worse failings than this, but frankly this one foolish comment is a firable offense.

The other thing that amazes me is there have been ZERO press conferences almost a week after the first real assassination attempt in 4+ decades. Nothing from the FBI, nor the USSS. Absolute silence. Even if they don't know anything, there is no excuse for that. If nothing esle, it gives cause for folks to ask serious questions about why. Conspiracy theories have started with far less...

And there's pics of the FBI hosing off that rooftop. They're not even wearing things like the harnesses roofers wear. I mean, isn't that an OSHA violoation?!?!?!?!?!

Maybe they've got some super duper sperry topsider boatshoes with anti slip to go along with their G.I. Joe with the Kung Fu grip.

Until a hobby drone gets the job done. Exposed rallies are bait for any number of willing assassins/teams. A thing of the past for which any candidate is in denial not to be fully aware.

We're now finding out that all radio communications that are normally recorded are now missing.

Cheatle attempts to deflect House hearing with delays and bureaucratic double-speak.

Both parties didn't buy it, both insisted that she resign. Buh Bye...

Update: Saw some videos of this hearing today, pure entertainment if you're sitting a hotel room.

The male congress people were direct but civil. The women on the other hand cut loose on cheatle with vitriolic, even profane, tirades. All of them... Boebert, MTG, and even AOC. I respect all three more than I did before watching that. Surprisingly articulate for bartenders. Two Thumbs Up.

Yeah, it's pretty bad when AOC makes you look stupid. Cheatle should have resigned a week ago and she probably would have endured less vitriol as a result.

It was pretty comical to watch her. But those the hearings with Garland, Wray, et al were pretty good in that realm.

Agreed. The lack of accountability of ANY federal agency is always amazing.

When looking at the "optics"/auspices/virture signaling that said person was hired under, and it's more amazing.
