Kevin McCarthy Demands Democrats Investigate Afghanistan Instead Of Him

Kevin McCarthy has shifted, and is now trying to blame Rep. Adam Schiff for Afghanistan, " Why didn't we know of what was happening on the ground? Why didn't Adam Schiff have those hearings?" https://t.co/paTo3tVrry

McCarthy said on Fox Newss Sunday Morning Futures:
We are a co-equal branch of government. Why didnt we know of what was happening on the ground? Why didnt Adam Schiff have those hearings? Devin Nunes had wash warned us and told me many times before, and now at this time when they have an open border, when they have caught people on the terror watch already this year, that they have the Homeland Security Chairman investigating members of Congress and the chairman of the Intel Committee? Thats their focus instead of focusing on protecting all of America and the homeland. Thats what they should be working on.
Kevin McCarthy: Investigate Afghanistan Instead Of Me
McCarthys attempt to hide behind Afghanistan was pathetic. The good news for the American people is that the House can both investigate Afghanistan and Kevin McCarthy.
Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is trying everything to both discredit the 1/6 investigation and avoid being a target of the investigation. For some reason, McCarthy doesnt want the committee to get his phone records and look at his conversations with Donald Trump.
Thirteen US Marines died, and Kevin McCarthy is trying to hide behind their bodies to cover up the 1/6 investigation.

Biden inherited an incredible mess there, and made the best of an horrific situation.

(21,945 posts)President Donald Trump drew laughs from some of his aides as he joked about what a rough business terrorism is while discussing an ambush in Niger that left four U.S. soldiers dead last year, according to a covert recording released Monday.
Trump made the comments during a closed-door meeting at the White House in the wake of the Oct. 4, 2017, attack on the U.S. special forces, who were advising local troops fighting Islamic extremists in the African nation.
Former White House communications aide Omarosa Manigault Newman secretly recorded the conversation and provided a tape of it to MSNBC on Monday afternoon.

After a U.S. consulate in Benghazi was attacked and four Americans were murdered in 2012, the Republican-led House of Representatives ordered eight congressional investigations, including a special select committee whose two-year, $7 million probe lasted longer than the main Watergate investigation. But after four American soldiers were ambushed and killed in neighboring Niger five years later, House Republicans opened no such investigations. Nearly two years after the attack, the Pentagon has quietly closed its probe into the incident and declined to discipline any military commanders who ordered the troops into a danger zone with no plan and no backup.

Which one appears to require investigation?

(21,554 posts)to find the drumpf moles in the military that told the White House it was safe to start this pullout. As I've said before if Biden had known we'd end up huddled at the airport racing to get plane after plane off the ground he never would have allowed this evac to go the way it has. Someone betrayed him to make him look bad.
