McCarthy, McConnell demand Biden briefing on Afghanistan
NY Post ^ | 08/19/2021 | Emily Crane

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell are demanding the Biden administration give them a “Gang of Eight” classified briefing on the plan to withdraw all Americans from Afghanistan.

The top two congressional Republicans sent Biden a letter, first reported on by Axios, on Wednesday asking for details on the rapidly deteriorating situation in Kabul.

Gang of Eight is the term used to described the eight congressional leaders who are briefed on classified intelligence matters.

“It is of the utmost importance that the U.S. Government account for all U.S. citizens in Afghanistan and provide the necessary information and means of departure to all those Americans who desire to leave the country,” the letter said.

Why not call for, no better yet, draft articles of impeachment.

How about inviting a couple or Republicans to the briefing, since McCarthy and McConnell are Assistant Democrats? Then televise the briefing and require Biden to answer questions. Grill the eff’n bastard for 20 minutes ... that is all it will take to break him.

I’d prefer they use some of Mitch’s campaign funds to buy TV time and make their case direct to the American people.
And make sure they are joined by every single elected Republican in Congress.

They should have demanded election accountability back in January but they were too busy rubber stamping the steal.

Why?

What are they going to learn?

Don’t either of them have the proper security clearances? I would imagine they do.

Aren’t there 4 Republicans on the Gang of 8, 2 Senators & 2 House members, that can brief them on what went on?

Don’t they both have access to the folks the 2 Permanent Select Committees on Intelligence?

More theater for the serfs and peons.

That was like, five days ago, man.

God these people are utterly self-absorbed and incompetent.
At best.

They might be actively complicit and hiding it.

I’m sure they will get nowhere, even if someone like Pinhead Sullivan agrees to show up. They won’t get any more answers than the usual media flunky does.

A briefing from Clueless Joe? I doubt he could find Afghanistan on a map.
