A July 2021 dissent cable from the U.S. Embassy in Kabul gave the Biden administration a critical warning the Afghanistan withdrawal was in trouble, and the"embarrassing" emergency message must be made public, according to GOP lawmakers who viewed it.
“The other question that I want an answer to — were [national security adviser] Jake Sullivan and the president briefed on the warnings, which were very dire, that were coming from the diplomats in the field?” Waltz said. “Because either they were briefed and the president was briefed, which I would certainly hope he was in the middle of this crisis, and he moved forward anyway, or they chose not to brief him. Which is it? Either way, that’s unacceptable.
Rep. Darrell Issa told the Washington Examiner the cable “is a comprehensive and detailed warning, as well as a prediction of what would happen if the Biden admin didn’t change course.” GOP members of the committee, many of them veterans of the war in Afghanistan, told the Washington Examiner last month that the prior concession by Blinken was not nearly good enough, and McCaul agreed and revived his contempt threat until the full committee could view the cable.
“It is vital to me that we preserve the integrity of that process and that channel — that we not take any steps that could have a chilling effect on the willingness of others to come forward in the future,” Blinken told McCaul in March as he initially blocked the committee from viewing the cable.
