Under Biden, the State Department has done everything possible to cover up its actions in Afghanistan. I have been writing about the ongoing struggle between State and the Afghanistan watchdog (SIGAR).
In June, the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction’s office (SIGAR), dispatched letters to Secretary of State Blinken and Samantha Power complaining that the State Department and USAID were stonewalling its investigation of waste, corruption, and terror cash.
“Two SIGAR audits are also being hindered by a lack of cooperation from State and USAID. The first evaluates your agencies’ compliance with the laws and regulations prohibiting transfers of funds to members of the Taliban and the Haqqani Network,” the letter to Power complained.
At one point State was actively forbidding employees from cooperating with SIGAR while trying to close down the Afghanistan war watchdog. When that failed, State is just destroying documents, as SIGAR reveals in its latest report. (via Adam Kredo at Free Beacon.)
The Biden administration doesn’t know if millions of dollars in taxpayer funds sent to Afghanistan are falling into the Taliban’s hands because its terrorism vetting files are incomplete—or, in some instances, destroyed—a government audit found.
The State Department “initially refused to cooperate with this audit and destroyed the [Risk Analysis Management] vetting documents for unselected implementing partners in accordance with its records retention policy before we could examine them.”
The watchdog group ultimately determined that State’s DRL and INL bureaus “did not comply with federal document retention requirements because supporting documentation to demonstrate their compliance with State partner vetting requirements was missing from the bureaus’ award files.”
The State Department also “acknowledged that not all bureaus complied with document retention requirements” and that there are “gaps in compliance with federal and internal document retention requirements.”
DRL, for instance, was only able to produce proper vetting documents for “three of its seven awards, while the partner vetting documentation for four of its awards were missing from its contracting files,” according to the investigation.
This is criminal behavior that is not being treated as such and it’s being done to cover up even worse crimes. We know that under Biden, State continues directing massive amounts of money into terrorist territories, including over $2 billion into Afghanistan, while handing out special licenses to the nonprofits it funnels money through to deal with Islamic terrorists. And this will eventually get Americans killed.

While most of this information is news to me, it comes as no surprise coming from Biden’s criminal cabal.
This entire presidential term has left Americans asking a lot of questions. In the beginning, I thought they were just a bunch of fumbling, bumbling millennials who wanted to play “government” and guitar in Kiev. Now, with Mayorkas actively preventing Cheatle from testifying before Congress, it’s obvious that it’s all been coordinated and intentional.

What about the doctrine of spoliation? Obviously an adverse inference could and should be applied – that the government is involved in criminal activity.

what has control of the TaliBriben regime are globalists with treasonous domestic criminals
we are in a vial demonic global coup d’etat that targeted USA first. As USA goes so goes the world.
Conspiracy theories of yore are conspiracy facts today.
Unleash a pLandemic to control populations – rig shortages, rig and steal an election (2020 federal and 2022 Arizona state)
Persecute and sham impeachments, witch-hunt indictments and kangaroo court trials of a POTUS they fear is not a sell out and not a globalist and for USA sovereignty and persecute and indict and imprison all MAGA supporters and associates of that POTUS – when those machinations fail, call of Secret Service agents, like they did in Dallas 11-22-1963, let the Manchurian Candidate get into place and have backup shooters and Manchurian Candidates – and that failed by the GRACE OF YHVH.
These demonic machinations are not over.
Bible prophesies unfolding daily like a child’s pop up book.
What will they do next?
Do not believe and obey.
Conspiracy theories of yore are conspiracy facts today.

I do believe this falls under “SPOLIATION OF EVIDENCE” and THAT is a CRIME! PRESIDENT TRUMP needs to have a VERY AGGRESSIVE AG and an ARMY of SPECIAL COUNSELS!! The REPORTED CRIMES of the biden bunglers should keep a DOZEN or more busy – just need to avoid those DEMOcrat “judges”! I would suggest MILITARY TRIBUNALS since a LOT of the cases will involve National Security!

I don’t know about the US, but in Australia the destruction of Govt financial documents is a criminal offence in and of itself.
Who ever ordered it, and who ever carried it out would be facing criminal charges and up to 12 years imprisonment.

The legacy of the Dulles brothers persists to this day. Evidently, the intelligence-military cabal has enough dirt on enough people that reform is impossible.
