State Dept Destroyed Docs Tying It To Afghanistan Terror Cash

 Under Biden, the State Department has done everything possible to cover up its actions in Afghanistan.

I have been writing about the ongoing struggle between State and the Afghanistan watchdog.

In June, the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction's office, 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.

At one point State was actively forbidding employees from cooperating with SIGAR while trying to close down the Afghanistan war watchdog.

The State Department "Initially refused to cooperate with this audit and destroyed the vetting documents for unselected implementing partners in accordance with its records retention policy before we could examine them."

The watchdog group ultimately determined that State's DRL and INL bureaus "Did not comply with federal document retention requirements because supporting documentation to demonstrate their compliance with State partner vetting requirements was missing from the bureaus' award files."

The State Department also "Acknowledged that not all bureaus complied with document retention requirements" and that there are "Gaps in compliance with federal and internal document retention requirements."
