Investigator in GOP-led probe of Afghanistan withdrawal resigns
The Hill ^ | 12 Aug 2024 | ELLEN MITCHELL

A senior investigator has resigned from a GOP-led probe into the Biden administration’s deadly and chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021, accusing the Republicans of holding back their full power in examining the U.S. pullout.

Jerry Dunleavy, a former journalist and author of a book detailing first-person accounts of the withdrawal, posted his resignation letter Monday to the social media site X. He described himself as a whistleblower, criticizing the Republican House Foreign Affairs Committee as suffering from “investigative paralysis.”

Congressman McCaul, aka, The Head, is Chairman of the Republican House Foreign Affairs Committee. He is a known warmonger and certified Neocon. It's no wonder Jerry Dunleavy resigned.

Republican investigative paralysis—why am I not surprised? Better ask Linda.

You can’t really expect the Uniparty to investigate the Uniparty.

In other words, Joe Biden didn’t F-Up. Grandly in Afghanistan all by himself, he had help.
Yeah, I noticed, there was never any loud, passionate demand to impeach Biden on this blistering failure from the Republicans.

“War is not about winning, it is about money.”

You are correct. Was is how the deep state and oligarchs throughout the world launder money which goes into their Swiss bank accounts. A long time ago, I submitted the theory that Ukraine were the money launderers of the deep state and other oligarchs and for some reason something went completely awry. For that, Russia punished them, with the promise of the US that we would fund whatever Ukraine stole.

Hence the half billion dollars that went missing.

They removed the Afghanistan laundry machine and those using it to the new and improved Ukrainian laundry machine with a whole new batch of customers
