There are times people get away with things in politics. The Kennedys and the Clintons come to mind. However, when the screw up is as big as Afghanistan other politicians need a scapegoat. Thus the IG investigation into the fall of Kabul and the Biden Bugout.
It could be a whitewash. But if they try that it will only increase the righteous indignation. And it’s not only the State Department, but several agencies are looking into the matter. And just before the midterms. Pity.

FNC: “The State Department’s inspector general is launching a series of investigations into the Biden administration’s last diplomatic moves in Afghanistan. The reviews will focus on the State Department’s Special Immigrant Visa program, Afghans processed for refugee admission into the U.S., resettlement of refugees and visa recipients, and the emergency evacuation of the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, according to an Oct. 15 memo to Secretary of State Blinken first reported by Politico and confirmed by Fox News.
Diana Shaw, the acting inspector general at State, told Congress that her office was launching ‘several oversight projects’ related to the end of the U.S. military and diplomatic missions in Afghanistan. Other inspectors general offices, including those at the Department of Defense and the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, are also likely to launch similar probes of the withdrawal, Politico reported.”
“Given the elevated interest in this work by Congress and the unique circumstances requiring coordination across the Inspector General community, I wanted to notify our committees of jurisdiction of this important work,” Shaw wrote in a letter to both the House and the Senate.
Snakebit Joe Biden famously guaranteed the nation that the Taliban would not take the U.S. Embassy in Kabul the same way the North Vietnamese Army took the U.S. Embassy in Saigon in 1975. But the images from Kabul echoed Saigon. There are enough people who remember the final Vietnam humiliation to do the math. Come next November they will be reminded again and again. The RNC will see to that. All that Democrats will be able to do then is run away from Joe Biden and try to avoid the political splatter effect. Good luck on that.

” Come next November they will be reminded again and again. The RNC will see to that.” I seriously doubt that the Repubs will remember but if they do they will more than likely be afraid that the press will roast them if they dare bring it up.
I am so ashamed of the entire Biden Administration. They are all crooked and they are all fools to think the entire world realizes what a bunch of stupid idiots they are. Why don’t t hey take their evil money and run to Afghanistan.
LET’S GO BRANDON
A democrat loss will only occur if the voting machines currently being used are removed and new ones are used but NOT by the same company of the previous ones.
After getting 13 American Heroes killed because of his ignorance and not abiding by his advisors’ advice, I wonder how this man sleeps at night, with all that blood on his hands, If he has some semblance of a conscience. Those 13 heroes had done more for this country in their military service, than this man has done in 40+ years in our congress. (I say congress, because at times he still thinks he’s there)!
