FBI money request signals ongoing problems in vetting Afghan evacuees

Tucked inside Democrats’ new spending bill is $15.3 million in emergency money for the FBI to investigate Afghan evacuees brought to the U.S. during last year’s chaotic airlift.
Congress is pumping the money into the FBI just a month after Director Christopher A. Wray told lawmakers that the bureau was having to conduct “lots of interviews” to keep track of the Afghans and obliquely warned of “a number of disruptions” of activities.
Lawmakers said the money is the latest evidence of a hasty evacuation that jeopardizes American safety.
“The Biden administration’s decision to let tens of thousands of unvetted Afghans into our country first and ask questions later has backfired,” said Rep. Thomas P. Tiffany, Wisconsin Republican. “We warned well over a year ago this would happen and two inspector general reports have since confirmed those fears, but the White House refused to listen and the horses are already out of the barn.”
The FBI didn’t provide any details on how it plans to spend the money, merely repeating the White House’s short explanation when it asked Congress for the money earlier this month.

nice [disclaimer deleted][]] where did you steal it? [[][deleted]
That's what happens when you fuck everything up and call for a retreat.
This money should NOT be coming out of taxpayers pockets.
Hasty. Lol. Biden ripped off a bandaid that Trump wouldn’t even touch.
Biden swamped the country and you seem to think these fine folks will show up for a hearing.
And it cost the lives of over 100 Afghani and 13 US Servicemembers. Oh, and you can't forget leaving the Taliban over $500,000,000 in military hardware. Makes me wonder who the Coward in Chief really supports.
Now we have a threat to our country brought in by Biden.
Thank you for identifying today’s boogeyman du jour on the right. I’m sure it’s working wonders on the mouthbreathing knuckle draggers that eat this shit up.
Are you claiming the Taliban and their terrorist allies are our friends?
Right.
Brandon was supposedly following Trump's withdrawal plan (he wasn't; but that is what Democrats keep screaming). Trumps plan never called for using the Kabul airport to evacuate anyone. Also, Trump's plan didn't call for troops to completely withdraw before US civilians were completely out.
Remember, Brandon is the one that unilaterally extended the deadline for withdrawal from May 1 to to Aug 31. Not getting out just before the Afghan winter ended exposed US forces and civilians to the tender mercies of the Taliban and their terrorist allies.
Brandon also told the Afghan leader not to sound the alarm about incoming Taliban forces- as he didn't want to cause a panic.
Brandon also fucked up the withdrawal. He was more concerned with the number of people evacuated than who was evacuated. Anyone that made it into Kabul Airport was flown out. Identification and vetting were non existent. His administration will not say how many US citizens, Green Card holders, and special VISA holders are left in Afghanistan. Brandon has "turned the page". His administration has put up road blocks to any charities or individuals trying to get people out.
But at least Brandon claimed "victory" with his airlift of unvetted Afghans from the Kabul Airport.
Brandon was really concerned about the safety of US citizens. He knew the Afghanistan government was crumbling and wouldn't last; but warn US citizens in advance to get out? Hell no; he didn't want to cause a panic!
All the left ever has is "But Trruuummmmppppp!!!!!!" It is way beyond pathetic.
hahahaHAHAHA BULLSHIT. Trump was going to have them out by May 1, 2021.
Ripped off? LMAO.
File that comment under “those who will believe anything a pathetic serial liar tells them”.
Funny, the quote and link aren't from a politician. Maybe you should read that and do some research before going off with unfounded BS.
File that comment under "those who don't read the links provided as it will hurt their feelings to be wrong". In other words, you didn't read the link provided.
Your rampant TDS is showing.
