BREAKING: Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigns after the assassination attempt against former President Trump at a rally. https://x.com/AP/status/1815757223747850381
the “vote within the next 48 hours” is just the preliminary vote right? Meaning, it still has to be approved the house & senate in separate votes.
For the sake of argument, if it were to happen what are the odds that entirety of the impeachment process finishes before the end of this month?
If it gets far enough, Cheatle might actually just resign. Zero people in congress are on her side as far as I can tell, and Mayorkas might just want her around long enough to catch all of the flack for the screw-up (and this task may have been accomplished today). Not to mention, she has demonstrated she will be a hindrance rather than help to any investigation. In exchange for being eviscerated today, I'm sure she will "luckily" find some high-paying do-nothing job after this.
all yes bettors should be putting this to 100

Another market gives an extra month of time (https://manifold.markets/BishopG/will-the-head-of-the-secret-service) and as of now the odds are only slightly higher so might be a better option.
But I’d agree her resignation/firing seems like a matter of “when” not “if”
only 2 out of them all signed the letter?
If 10+ ranking members signed would it put more pressure? is there a common threshold set for this kind of stuff, where if X ranking members sign, then Mayorkas has to immediately action it.
Why would she resign or be fired before the investigation concludes?
I get that people want her to do that, but from her point of view she might as well take the public flogging and see if the investigation’s findings give her a way to shift blame/attention; however unlikely that may be.
Regardless of what ultimately happens there is just over a week left in this month so odds should be much lower than 60% imo
Knight resigned "MONTHS" after the assassination... I don't think she is going to announce resigning before Aug 1st...
@pluffASMR yes, but like i said, from *her* point of view. If she is fired it will be after the investigation concludes.
I don’t think enough people are separating what they want to happen from what will happen, especially given the specified timeframe
would they have to get Mayorkas infront of the senate though before he's forced to take action...
Maybe would spill into august...
