She's scheduled to testify before the House Oversight Committee on Monday.
Don't get me wrong, I'm pleased that there is at least some attempt at accountability, but seriously, has anyone ever seen one of these Congressional inquiries result in something other than a bunch of bullshit half-answers? I don't recall, can't comment on active investigations, have to get back to you on that... etc., etc.
At the very most, the subject of the hearing might feel some degree of discomfort, but more likely just gets pissed off at the inconvenience of having to spend the day somewhere they'd rather not be.
Regardless, it will be interesting to see if she gives even one single answer that sounds genuine. I mean, what can she possibly say to defend the abject failure that happened? I'm no security expert, but even a layman knows damn well that an elevated position with a direct line of sight to the podium is the most basic and probably the most important security concern there is. Unanswered staffing requests, funding issues, somebody else was responsible for that building... those are nonsense excuses. Bottom line, if there's a threat you can't cover, the protected person doesn't go on stage. Period.
I've tried to imagine something comparable to this fuck-up that might help put it in perspective. All I can think of is a fire truck rolling right past a house with flames shooting out the windows, and they start spraying the hoses half a block away into a vacant lot.
The only way this hearing can have any value would be if she says there is no rational explanation for what happened, and therefore I'm firing everyone who planned the event, and every level of leadership above them, and after that resigns her own position. But I wouldn't bet on it.
Ok ok... before all the comments start, should have gone in Political Forum. My bad.
