President Biden's administration ignored a congressional subpoena for documents relating to the botched U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan for the third time on Tuesday.
Rep. Mike McCaul, R-Texas, filed the subpoena in his role as chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Secretary of State Tony Blinken blew past the original deadline to supply the documents in March, then again in April when McCaul pushed back the deadline. McCaul set his latest line in the sand at May 1, and Blinken again refused to provide the documents.
McCaul's subpoena seeks a dissent cable from the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, a document that would have contained any concerns officials had about Biden's withdrawal plans.
Rather than comply with the subpoena, the State Department offered to give McCaul and his committee a briefing on the documents contents. McCaul accepted the briefing in April but clarified that it did not constitute complying with the subpoena.
The Staff: If this continues, all Americans need to raise one finger if ever given a "subpoena" as the president and his circle of clowns are allowed to do so. As some say, America has"Elites" who run us now. Get us to it America.
