Schiff Leak Shows Joe May Have Cooked His Own Goose As Biden Turns Tale And Runs
Earlier this week Rep. Adam Schiff broke news after leaving a House Intelligence Committee meeting.
Schiff disclosed that it is unlikely Americans and our allies will be able to escape the country before the 8/31 deadline.
“Given the number of Americans who still need to be evacuated, the number of SIVs, the number of others who are members of the Afghan press, civil society leaders women leaders. It’s hard for me to imagine all of that can be accomplished between now and the end of the month,”

Finally Schiff said that the intel community was very aware that the Taliban had the ability to take over the country.
“the intelligence agencies assessments of the Afghan government’s ability to maintain itself became increasingly pessimistic,” he said. (more)— Ryan Nobles (@ryanobles) August 24, 2021
Politico is reporting that members of Congress on both sides are not happy with the Administration and do not want them to leave Afghanistan until all Americans have been rescued. Politico reported that the DOD did draw up a plan to stay past the deadline however Joe Biden rejected.
I’m told there was bipartisan pushback to Blinken and Austin in the all-House classified briefing, in particular about the decision to stick to the Aug. 31 deadline.
Lawmakers from both parties have been clear that they don’t see a scenario in which everyone’s evacuated by 8/31.

Biden also told the G7 leaders that he will abide by the Taliban’s deadline and is pulling out US forces on August 31. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel are urging Biden to stay.
Biden’s announcement under cut our allies, Fox News is reporting that the G7 had an agreement to stay past the August 31 deadline.
WOW: Fox reporting that the G7 had an agreement in place to tell the Taliban the G7 nations would stay in #Afghanistan past August 31, and now Joe Biden has undercut our allies again. pic.twitter.com/tXGoPmA3ln

Between the leaks coming from Congress, our allies, the Pentagon, and the Republican party it’s possible that Joe Biden may have cooked his own goose. Joe’s decision to leave on August 31 could create one of the largest hostage situations in the modern era.
The fact that Schiff came out and undercut Biden like he did to Trump tells you that the establishment in Washington knows full well what may happen after the US leaves and they aren’t going down with him. Should what many fear may happen on September 1st occur it may be a catalyst for President Kamala Harris.
***UPDATE***
Things are getting worse, our allies are furious and Joe is pulling out our troops.
