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.

Instead of turning over the information, Blinken and Power's people have lawyered up.
"A State official has informed SIGAR that department staff have received internal direction to not engage with or speak to SIGAR without prior clearance from State legal counsel," the open letter that was also sent to members of Congress revealed.

Last month, Rep. Mike Turner sent a letter to the Biden administration asking him to order the State Department to begin cooperating with the Afghanistan investigation.

Senator Chuck Grassley sent one to Samantha Power warning that stonewalling the Afghanistan special inspector general is in violation of "federal law requiring federal employees to comply with IG investigations".

So when do the "peach-mints" hearings start?
 
Do you think that the Gestapo Chief Garland will raid their homes at 6AM and put them in leg shackles?
