House Republicans Ask Attorney General Garland to Investigate former Afghan President: 'A Coward and

House Republicans are demanding that Attorney General Merrick Garland investigate allegations that Afghanistans former president, Ashraf Ghani, fled the country with $169 million in cash.
Reports indicate that Ghani in fact had so much looted money with him when he fled Afghanistan that not all of it would fit in his helicopter, and that he was forced to leave money lying on the tarmac, the group wrote in a Tuesday letter to Garland. The amount and nature of his flight from Afghanistan raises the specter that he illegally and corruptly embezzled these funds from U.S. assistance intended for the Afghan peoples welfare and defense.
Noting the United States spent $145 billion on Afghanistans reconstruction in addition to $837 billion on the war effort, they said it was imperative that corrupt foreign government officials not be permitted to personally enrich themselves with U.S. taxpayer money. They also took aim at Ghanis leadership, saying his reckless and cowardly actions
contributed to the speed with which the Taliban took over the country.
The letter was signed by Reps. James Comer (KY), the top Republican on the House Oversight Committee, and Glenn Grothman (WI), the ranking Republican on Oversights national security subcommittee. The duo closed the letter by asking whether Garland was looking into the reports, and whether the Justice Department had insight into whether the alleged money came from U.S. funding for the country. They also asked what the department was planning to do to bring him to justice.

Not to 'agree with RePuQs' but I can get behind looking into this dudes actions.

(16,926 posts)why not have him investigate our own 'Former President?' After all, they do want 'justice and law-abiding leaders,' don't they?

(16,926 posts)They watched - supported - ignored - encouraged IQ45 to use the office of the President to enrich his own floundering corporate scam, sending his own despicable children throughout the world with full US security to further enrich their family scam, used federal monies to pay for 'security' for the guy at his own golf clubs (charging full price for all agents), thus enriching his own establishments.
And these RepubliQan morons want our Attorney General to investigate someone from the other side of the world?
They never fail to prove themselves to be more and more ridiculous every day!

(16,926 posts)I would also think that the purpose of the "investigation" would be to find out how the US Government was duped by this foreign official - and I'm thinking that these Republican Congressmen wouldn't really be too anxious to hear a true, sincere, official answer.....

(6,172 posts)Afghanistan is a separate country and it's their problem to investigate their former president for corruption.
Besides, the Democrats are busy looking into TFG's corruption. And the Republicans...well they were never any good at handling corruption in their party.
Only things they're good at are attacking the Democrats, destroying voting rights, enabling a pandemic, controlling women's reproductive rights, condemning LGBT rights, and worshiping at the feet of TFG.
Question: Does TFG mean "the former guy", "the fat guy", or both?
