The acting inspector general of the State Department is launching a number of inquiries into the Biden administration’s handling of the U.S.'s withdrawal from Afghanistan, according to a notification sent to Congress and obtained by The Hill.
State Department acting Inspector General Diana Shaw on Monday notified the chairs and ranking members of relevant committees in the House and Senate that the investigative body would be launching “several oversight projects related to the suspension of operations at U.S. Embassy Kabul, Afghanistan.”
“Given the elevated interest in this work by Congress and the unique circumstances requiring coordination across the Inspector General community, I wanted to notify our committees of jurisdiction of this important work,” Shaw wrote.
The notification was sent to the top lawmakers of Senate and House committees related to Foreign Affairs, Homeland Security, Oversight, Appropriations and Intelligence.
Politico was first to report the news.

While Democrats have expressed open criticism, Republicans have launched a few different efforts to undertake oversight and follow through on commitments to Afghan allies who remain in the country.
This includes Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) introducing legislation to establish a bipartisan committee to investigate the failures of the Afghanistan withdrawal.
Comment:
If we as a country make a mistake, we should review it. Judging from the drips that have come out since, it sounds like like more precautions could've/ should've been taken.
Hmm...., Will the ‘objective’ democrat butt boys from the FBI be helping with the ‘investigation’?
Who will be responsible to specifically investigate the military's role and failure in the withdrawal?
13 US military and 72 Afghanis were killed in the debacle...then 11 innocent civilian women and children in retaliation. Billions in materiel abandoned. The term Clusterfuck is being nice
