Pro-Trump Rep. Greene (R-Ga.) asks Secret Service chief the hard question everyone’s wondering.
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) held Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle’s feet to the fire Monday, at one point asking point-blank if there was an orchestrated plot to murder Donald Trump at his rally in Pennsylvania.
Piling in on Cheatle during House Oversight Committee questioning Monday, Greene highlighted the fact that people in the crowd at Trump’s Butler rally warned Secret Service early on about shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks, asking if there was a “stand-down” ordered for Secret Service that day.
? WOW! COMPLETE FLAMETHROWER ?

“The people there knew that there was a danger, they knew there was a threat to President Trump, and it was allowed to happen,” Greene told Cheatle.
“Was there a stand-down order, Ms. Cheatle? Was there a conspiracy to kill President Trump?!” Rep. Greene followed up.
“No, absolutely not,” Cheatle replied.
Asked why she had not yet resigned due to the shooting being allowed to happen, Cheatle responded, “That is what we are investigating to determine.”
The Secret Service chief’s refusal to step down comes as Committee chair Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) and ranking member Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) on Monday drafted a joint letter calling on Cheatle to step down following a would-be assassin managing to get a clean shot at former President Donald Trump.
