Biden’s Sec Def Won’t Appear Before Senate Committee, Dem Threatens With Subpoena
The Daily Wire ^ | 09/14/2021 | Hank Berrien

On Tuesday, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin refused to appear and testify before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee about the disastrous U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, prompting the committee’s chair, New Jersey Democrat Senator Robert Menendez, to blast him for his non-appearance and threaten to subpoena Austin if he refused to testify in the near future.

Oh boy, threaten him with a subpoena. Nowadays, subpoenas are ignored and nothing happens to anyone who ignored them.

Put yourself in Austin’s shoes. Austin and the generals, with the CIA...met with Biden/Blinken in the spring. They laid out ‘plans’ (CIA and DoD apparently agreed on things). Biden said ‘no plans’ and the meeting concluded.

If asked direct questions, how can Austin respond?

What’s curious here is that the key person for the Biden team (arranging strategy) is Susan Rice....she wasn’t at this meeting.

I noticed O’Reilly interviewed some former Trump official yesterday, who suggested that virtually all Biden strategy/policy is Rice-driven. It might be interesting to ask Austin his gut-feeling over Rice and if she’s the cause of the fiasco.

I would add...just seems to be this funny smell over Afghanistan and how it fits the Benghazi profile.

We now learn that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff treasonously communicated with his Chinese counterpart in defiance of the Commander-in-Chief Trump.

No wonder Austin wants to lay low.

HOW do you KNOW Susan Rice was not in that meeting??? She could have been on a secure ZOOM type call.

Translation: Biden’s polls are in the toilet and it’s treatening the ability of congress to pass communism. Therefore a scapegoat must be found to pin it all on and then the media can spin it as over, make some fake polls saying Americans live Biden again and congress can go back to destroying America. Austin doesn’t want to be the guy the throw under the bus.

“It might be interesting to ask Austin his gut-feeling over Rice and if she’s the cause of the fiasco.”

Or find some patriotic master hacker and get into their phone, text, and email data.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin failed the intellectual and moral test when he missed his cue to walk out the door, drop his paperwork, and never look back.

Any military member who takes advice from Jao Bai-din is guiltier of far more than the idiot who gave the order. Jao Bai-din is a senile moron. What's Lloyd Austin's excuse for listening to him?

That’s unbelievable.

The Secretary of Defense of the United States of America thinks he has the right to blow off a Congressional testimony request because it might be uncomfortable for him?

But a kid from Jackson Hole has to go stand guard duty in the middle of a terrorist controlled airport and end up getting blown up because he woulda been court martialed if he said no?

Unbelievable. Who the hell does this SOB think he is? Does he think being SecDef is some sort of inherited sinecure?

5 AM
kick the door in
all held face down on the floor
Gen dragged out in handcuffs for a mornin’ perp walk.

But one needs testicles to do such things.
Or just some really pumpin’ estrogen, for our lady Freepers.

too late

LET IT ALL BURN.
