Kim Cheatle’s job at the top of the Secret Service was apparently too steep a slope on which to stand safely.

After a brutal tongue-lashing before the U.S. House Oversight Committee yesterday, followed by a bipartisan demand for her resignation, the disgraced director quit her job today.

Cheatle resigned her job in a letter to underlings. And the hot lamp under which she found herself yesterday came after a week of punishing revelations about the egregious lack of security at the campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where former President Trump was nearly assassinated. The shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, fired at Trump with a clear view from less than 200 yards.
