Top Republicans Plan Joint Investigation into Biden’s Afghanistan ‘Fiasco’
Breitbart ^ | 08.26.2021 | Kristina Wong

Posted on 08/26/2021 3:12:05 AM PDT by USA Conservative

The top Republicans on the House Intelligence, Armed Services, and Foreign Affairs Committees announced in a letter to President Joe Biden on Wednesday they plan to investigate his withdrawal from Afghanistan, and his administration should preserve all records on the issue.

Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes (CA); Armed Services Committee Ranking Member Mike Rogers (AL); and Michael McCaul (TX) sent a letter to Biden on Wednesday that said:

The ongoing chaos in Afghanistan profoundly concerns the American people. The horrifying scenes on the ground and the resulting erosion of America’s worldwide geostrategic position raise troubling questions about your administration’s ability to competently manage a major foreign crisis.

As elected officials, our primary duty is to protect the American people. Thus, we were shocked to hear White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki declare that no Americans are stranded in Afghanistan.

We implore you to acknowledge that, in fact, thousands of Americans remain stranded in Afghanistan, and to do all in your power to locate and evacuate these U.S. citizens. Our nation has no higher priority at this moment in history.

Why investigate? The failure is clear. The orders were given by the WH and SecState, and they didn't follow any of the Pentagon's plans for evacuating a hostile area.

I’m sick of the investigations. After all of the investigations since 2016, you would think our federal prisons would be overflowing with the likes of comey, brennan, slick willy, hrc, antifa and blm scum, etc, but they all manage to still be free. Nope, it’s all theater to appease us while our country descends into commie hell.

Devin Nunes is the dope who spent two years running around on every Fox News show complaining about the FBI/CIA FISA abuses against Trump and his associates … while he pushed Congress as head of the House Intelligence Committee to renew the FISA authorization.

And these people wonder why nobody trusts their government anymore.

It’s obvious to anyone with a brain that any congressional investigation or for that matter, anything done in Washington is a complete waste of time.

Using Gateway Pundits headlines, Earth Shattering, Bombshell News.. Nothing gets done in DC.

Investigations are theater. Always.
We want action.

That’s the RINO, assistant-Democrat response to everything “We’re going to investigate”

Nothing ever comes of it.

"The polls aren't looking good for the President. Have the Republicans announce they're seeking an investigation into Afghanistan. That ought to calm down the plebes"

Make this stupid investigation part of the IMPEACHMENT hearings. Make the Ds VOTE ON IT!

Investigate to keep the issue before the public eye.
The dems will try to put this in the trash can of history to move on prior to the 2022 elections.
Do the Pubbies have the nads to keep harping on this disgraceful part of America?

I’m not sure the Pentagon is as blameless as all that. I think, woke as they are, that these actually were their plans foe evacuating as hostile area.

Granted, the plans amount to “run away, run away,” but what would you expect of any agency that seems to have devoted itself 24/7 to trannies and race-baiting?

There’s a lot to investigate, but the problem is that this committee is (a) going to get no cooperation and (b) basically be so polite and gentlemanly that the guilty parties will be laughing themselves sick over the gesture.

And the third problem is that we ain’t done yet. Things are unraveling and they’d be better off trying to fight the administration now, blocking its crazy plans at every step of the way and fighting back with all their feeble strength, than grinding through a non-investigation of the recent past.

The chinese own the Ds, Rs, and Pentagon. They were just following orders. The coming carnage will send a message to the world. The US is done as a super power. Patriots will die off or be killed off over time.

Until I see 25th amendment impeachment articles filed, I don’t want to hear about Republicans working on anything else. File. Call for doctor evaluation. The man is unfit and everyone knows it. Why are they not admitting it or doing something about it??
