The FBI is claiming they can't access the shooter's phone.
Do they really expect anyone to believe that?

The House Oversight Committee will be looking into Secret Service. As for who else?
All the politicians potentially have their own butts on the line with this one.
House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer, R-Kentucky, made the request for a briefing with the Secret Service and said he would call Kimberly Cheatle, the agency's director, to testify at a hearing.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) will subpoena US Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to compel her testimony later this month on the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.
“While the Secret Service confirmed Director Cheatle was expected to appear for the Committee’s hearing on July 22, to head off any attempt by DHS to backtrack on her appearance, the Chairman will issue a subpoena for her to attend,” a spokesperson for the panel said in a statement.
“Director Cheatle must answer to Congress and the American people about the historic failure that occurred on her watch,” the Oversight rep insisted.

Comer and other Republicans on the House Oversight Committee sent Cheatle a letter Monday requesting records, according to a copy obtained by POLITICO. Republicans want some of the information — including a list of law enforcement personnel involved in the rally — before she testifies, while a more expensive sweep for documents and records has a deadline set later this month.
The House Oversight Committee is just one of several congressional panels planning investigations into Saturday’s shooting.
Sens. Gary Peters (D-Mich.) and Rand Paul (R-Ky.) — the chair and ranking member of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, respectively — also announced Monday that their committee will conduct a bipartisan investigation.
The two, in a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and FBI Director Christopher Wray, want a briefing from the departments, including the Secret Service, by July 25. They also requested that Mayorkas and Wray, or their designees, appear for a public hearing no later than Aug. 1.
But most of Congress’ early questions are focused on Cheatle and the Secret Service, with lawmakers questioning publicly how the gunman was able to get on a roof roughly 200 yards from where Trump was speaking.
Cheatle, in a Monday statement, said the Secret Service would cooperate with an independent review announced by President Joe Biden, as well as working “with the appropriate Congressional committees on any oversight action.”
