Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., said the Afghanistan dissent cable that Secretary of State Antony Blinken allowed access to Tuesday is 'embarrassing' for the Biden administration.
Leader of Task Force Pineapple Scott Mann reacts to statements from the Biden administration on Afghanistan withdrawal and claims made that American taxpayers could be funding Talibanthat Secretary of State Antony Blinken allowed congressional access to Tuesday as"embarrassing" and said it debunks the Biden administration's narrative that it was caught off guard by the country's swift collapse in 2021.
"They redacted the specific names, but we now know that many of them were senior executive surrogates, meaning people that are paid at the highest level in the State Department," he continued."They knew and understood that there was no way that the Afghan military was going to defend successfully.
"Redacting only a portion of a portion of a sentence takes this from a secret document to a confidential document, and confidential, quite frankly, in this case is even inappropriate," he said. "We know it was received. We know it wasn't followed," he continued."Their personnel on the ground saw this, reported it, warned them, and were ignored."
McCaul had subpoenaed the document multiple times in the early months of this year, but Blinken had failed to provide it, prompting McCaul to threaten to charge Blinken with contempt of Congress.
