GOP Lawmakers Issue Warning About Biden

Joe Biden does not have plans to keep cash out of the Taliban’s hands according to GOP Lawmakers.

According to The Washington Free Beacon:

As the Biden administration scrambles to evacuate American personnel from Afghanistan, it is overlooking the Taliban’s plans to seize some $10 billion in assets held by Afghanistan’s central bank, according to congressional foreign policy leaders.

Somewhere between $18 and $20 million in cash sits in the Afghan central bank’s vaults and is likely to fall into the Taliban’s hands unless the United States attempts to intercept the funds and fly them out of the country—a scenario that sources say is unlikely as the Biden administration struggles to pull Americans out of Taliban-controlled Kabul.

The Treasury Department would not answer questions about any plan it has to secure cash still located inside the country. A Biden administration official, speaking only on background about the matter, told the Washington Free Beacon that all Afghan assets held as investments in the United States—which amount to around $7 billion—have been frozen and “will not be made available to the Taliban.” The Afghan central bank has around $10 billion in total assets, most of which are stored outside the country and out of the Taliban’s reach in the short term. Taliban leaders are pressing bank officials to give them access to these funds, according to Afghan government officials.

Republican foreign policy leaders in Congress say the Biden administration is in no place to secure Afghanistan’s fortune given its disorganized evacuation of Americans from the country, which is still taking place. They say the administration had no contingency plans in place and failed to anticipate the Taliban’s quick return to power.

Representative Mike Gallagher (R-Wisc.) has stated that it is the responsibility of Congress to make sure the Taliban doesn’t become wealthy.

Its obvious there are alternatives and special operations got out ally out and their families with out the Buffoons approval. which might not even have occurred to the fool and of course the RE-tread Obamy regime hate out soldiers and this ally are expendable just like Israel.
The new democratic party hates Jews almost as much as they hate out military.

I was a combat engineer when I was in the Army. . Although I never actually did it we were trained to take thermite grenades and do things like put them into breach blocks of cannons and melt them together or on the engine blocks of trucks to burn holes in the heads. Has our military with females and LBGQRST alphabet “its” in combat positions gone so “woke: they have forgotten how to get the job done. If you couldn’t get the money out (Like the half honkey let happen by the pallet) then BURN IT.

It’s called asset denial,,,. Remember the “Action Army” ? Looks like we got the “woke army” now. ,,,, Screw the ‘humanitarians” Get a military back that is there only to kill people and break things and the USA will start getting some respect again. Leave the “humanitarians” to the friggin peace corps. I have had it with all things woke.

Now the bad guys get the money and military assets too and 13 good men got killed for nothing. Vietnam – never again yurass.

You want Biden to get the money out of Afghanistan. He can’t get our Americans out without getting our solders killed. Oh wait. Maybe. When it comes to money he might put that first

Biden, Harris, Pelosi and the rest of the democrat scum should be held accountable and removed immediately. I don’t think there is anything too awful that could happen to any of them that I would say they didn’t 100% deserve.

Barack Hussein and Joe Blow will probably present the $10 billion to the JV Team on a silver platter. Then the barstids can carry it off in their new $1 billion US helicopter. And I always hoped my hard-earned taxes were going to a good cause!
