In the wake of an attempted assassination nicking the ear of presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, House Oversight Committee chair Jamie Comer finally found a legitimate reason to hold a hearing, calling for the director of the Secret Service to testify, per Chad Pergram of Fox News.
After expressing the expected shock and horror at the attack, Comer told Pergam, “I have already contacted the Secret Service for a briefing and am also calling on Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to appear for a hearing. The Oversight Committee will send a formal invitation soon.”
If the Director of the Secret Service is making decisions based on politics and President Trump was almost killed as a result, SHE IS DONE!!!

In the wake of the shooting, Republicans like the drunken pill-popping Texas Congressman Ronny Jackson have already framed the incident as a plot to downgrade Trump’s Secret Service detail to endanger him.
