    Wasn’t she just saying yesterday that she wouldn’t resign? That’s a quick reversal.

    I don’t think this was a personal failing by her, this seems like Congress is making her the fall guy. A previous article I read said that the Secret Service had to refuse requests for security due to lack of funding for equipment and personnel.

      Yep. Firing people (like Trump so often does) isn’t the best solution for these kinds of things. Now they’ll probably have someone less qualified in charge thrown into the job.
