00:00Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Director Cheadle.
00:02The American people are watching and they're wondering if there are any questions you can
00:09answer honestly today.
00:12So Director Cheadle, I have a series of questions, very specific questions.
00:16I want very specific answers.
00:19Most of my questions are going to demand a yes or no answer.
00:21Do you understand?
00:22I do.
00:23Okay.
00:24My first question.
00:25Both sides of the aisle today have asked for your resignation.
00:29Would you like to use my five minutes to draft your resignation letter, yes or no?
00:33No thank you.
00:36Was this a colossal failure?
00:40It was a failure.
00:41Yes or no?
00:42Was it a colossal failure is the question.
00:44Yes or no?
00:45I have admitted this is a terrible question.
00:46This is a yes or no series of questions.
00:49Was this a colossal failure?
00:50Yes or no?
00:53Yes.
00:54Was this tragedy preventable?
00:56Yes or no?
00:58Yes.
00:59Has the Secret Service been transparent with this committee?
01:03Yes.
01:05Would you say the fact that we had to issue a subpoena to get you to show up today as
01:10being transparent, yes or no?
01:12I have always been eager to come and talk to the committee.
01:13Yes or no?
01:14You didn't want to answer the question.
01:15We had to issue a subpoena to get you to show up today.
01:18That is not transparent by the way.
01:21You stated earlier Secret Service is not political.
01:24Is that correct?
01:25Yes.
01:26Okay.
01:27So you are seeking your opening statement to Punchbowl News, Politico's Playbook and
01:32Washington Post several hours before you sent it to this committee as being political, yes
01:39or no?
01:40I have no idea how my statement got out.
01:43Well, that's bullshit.
01:45So Mr. Chairman, I would like to ask unanimous consent to enter into the record articles
01:50by Punchbowl News, Politico's Playbook and Washington Post all done at 5.24 a.m., 6.12
01:57a.m., 6.34 a.m., a solid three to four hours before this committee got your statement?
02:03Without objection to order.
02:05Okay.
02:07Is the Secret Service fully cooperating with our committee?
02:12Yes.
02:13Okay.
02:14You say you are fully cooperating with this committee.
02:17On July 15th, this committee sent you a list of demands of information that we wanted.
02:23Has the Secret Service provided this committee a complete list of all law enforcement personnel
02:28that were there that day?
02:29Have you done that?
02:30Have you provided a list to the oversight committee?
02:32Yes or no?
02:33I'll have to get back to you on that.
02:34That is a no.
02:36Have you provided all audio and video recordings in your possession to this committee as we
02:40asked on July 15th, yes or no?
02:42I would have to get back to you on that.
02:43That is a no.
02:44You're full of shit today.
02:45You're just being completely dishonest.
02:48Mr. Chairman, Mr. Chairman, we have to maintain decorum in this committee no matter how upset
02:56we get.
02:57Have you provided any and all memos to this committee that we've asked you on July 15th?
03:00Have you provided all memorandums within the Secret Service?
03:03I would have to get back to you on that.
03:04That is a no.
03:05You are being dishonest or lying.
03:08You're being dishonest here with this committee.
03:10These are important questions that the American people want answers to, and you're just dodging
03:15and talking around it in generalities, and we had to subpoena you to be here, and you
03:19won't even answer the questions.
03:20We have asked you repeatedly to answer our questions.
03:24This isn't hard.
03:25These are not hard questions.
03:27Have you provided us all communications from the Secret Service related to that day and
03:31that rally?
03:32Have you provided this committee?
03:33We've asked for this information on July 15th.
03:35Have you provided any of this information that this committee has asked of the Secret
03:41Service, any of it?
03:43I'll have to get back to you on that.
03:44Have you even read this letter that we sent you?
03:47Did you even read this?
03:48Yes.
03:49Okay.
03:50And you have said you don't know, you have no idea.
03:53The answer is no.
03:54We haven't gotten a single document or piece of information or data from you or your agency
04:01in related to the rally that we have asked you for.
04:05So was this attempted assassination of Donald Trump a failure of training or execution or
04:13both?
04:14I think that those are answers that we need to examine.
04:17Training, execution, or both?
04:19Which one?
04:20I think those are answers.
04:21All right.
04:22How many Secret Service personnel have lost their jobs due to this colossal failure?
04:27At this time, none.
04:30How many Secret Service personnel have been required to take a refresher course on how
04:34not to let people shoot Donald Trump?
04:38Our personnel are currently operational.
04:41We are examining the facts of this investigation, and we will make the changes necessary.
04:46What time did law enforcement become aware that there was an individual on the roof with
04:49a clear line of sight to President Trump?
04:51I am still verifying timelines.
04:53Of course.
04:54Nine days in, you have no answers.
04:56How many minutes went by between the time law enforcement saw and took photos of Crooks
05:00and the shooting?
05:01How many minutes?
05:03I am still verifying timelines.
05:0557 minutes.
05:08Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and I yield back.
05:10The gentlelady yields back.
