GOP Lawmaker Accuses Biden Admin of Lying About Number of Americans Trapped in Afghanistan

A GOP lawmaker is lobbing serious accusations at the Biden administration.

According to The Washington Free Beacon:

At least 200 Americans are still stranded in Afghanistan, double the Biden administration’s public claim of around 100, according to Rep. Darrell Issa’s (R., Calif.) office.

Issa’s office has to date communicated with 68 GOP offices, barely a third of the total caucus, and told the Washington Free Beacon it is aware of at least 201 Americans seeking to return home. Issa’s team worked over the past weeks to free more than 35 individuals from Afghanistan, and says that it is in contact with “several more.” Issa’s office believes there are far more than 200 still waiting to be rescued.

The information collected by the lawmaker’s office is leading them to conclude that Secretary of State Antony Blinken and senior Biden administration officials are “lowballing” the total number of Americans trapped in Afghanistan after the botched withdrawal of U.S. forces from the country. Blinken testified before Congress earlier this week that he is aware of around 100 Americans who are in contact with the State Department about returning home—a number the administration has repeated for the past weeks.

“This is the number nobody in the White House wants you to know,” Issa told the Free Beacon. “State has been intentionally vague, even though they have more information than anyone. That’s why we’re making sure the truth is told. The coverup is over.”

Issa has highlighted the problems he has had with the State Department in trying to get Californians out of Afghanistan.

Google “Nazi Saboteurs and George Dasch”. The article describes the landing of eight Nazi saboteurs in New York and Florida.

Fortunately, this was before the FBI became a corrupt arm of the Demotraitor party, and the Nazis were all apprehended before any saboteur committed a single act of sabotage. Six were tried and sentenced to death before their execution a few days later. The remaining two were jailed.

What consequences will be born by the saboteurs in the Biden administration, including Biden himself, the fake media, and the tech social censorship monopolies for the immense damage they have loosed on the nation?

Hidenbiden,and his criminal administration, need to be removed for total incompetency. Then they need to be arrested and held accountable for their crimes against humanity. We can’t let them get away with their lawlessness, it’s time to act, these people are lawless criminals at every level.
