passed by ,congress and signed into law 
by the ,president are faithfully        
executed4  ,secretary ,blinken has      
failed to faithfully uphold his oath and
 has instead presided over a reckless   
abandonment of our ,nation's interests1 
security1 and values in his role in the 
withdrawal of ,american forces and      
diplomatic assets from ,afghanistan4    
,on ,april #ad1 #bjba1 ,president ,biden

 national security advisers1 and

troops from ,afghanistan by ,july #d1   
#bjba4  ,during this same meeting1 it   
was reported that the ,state ,department
 articulated its ability and intention  
to keep the ,american ,embassy in ,kabul
 open and operational with more than    
#a1djj ,americans remaining in country4 
,on ,april #bg1 #bjba1 in apparent      
acknowledgment of the dangers posed by a
 resurgent ,taliban1 the ,american      
,embassy in ,kabul ordered nearly #c1jjj
 members of its staff to depart4  ,on   
,may #aa1 #bjba1 the ,taliban--in       
furtherance of its speedy and sweeping  
campaign to recapture control of much of
 ,afghanistan--captured the ,nerkh      
district immediately adjacent to ,kabul4
  ,on ,may #ae1 #bjba1 ,embassy         

officials sent an urgent warning to     
remaining ,americans in the country that
 the ,u4,s4 ,embassy strongly suggests  
that ,u4,s4 citizens make plans to leave
 ,afghanistan as soon as possible44  ,on
 ,july #b1 #bjba1 the ,american military
 vacated ,bagram ,air ,base--the central
 ,united ,states military post in the   
country1 including the prison on site   
housing over #e1jjj ,taliban and        
suspected terrorist prisoners4 ,the     
hasty evacuation left these prisoners as
 well as significant stockpiles of      
,american weapons and equipment         
unguarded resulting in the eventual     
liberation of prisoners and seizure of  
weapons and equipment by ,taliban       
forces4 ,on ,july #h1 #bjba1 ,president 
,biden stated there's going to be no    
circumstance where you see people being 
lifted off the roof of an embassy of the
 ,united ,states from ,afghanistan4 ,it 
is not at all comparable44  ,on ,august 
#ab1 #bjba1 ,state ,department          
spokesman1 ,ned ,price1 serving under   

the authority of ,secretary ,blinken

 plan to continue our diplomatic work in
 ,afghanistan44 ,ross ,wilson1 the      
acting ,united ,states ambassador to    
,afghanistan who was on the call1 said  
the staff still needed #gb hours to     
leave4  ,on ,august #ae1 #bjba1 the     
,american ,flag at the ,united ,states  
,embassy in ,kabul was taken down4  ,on 
,august #ae1 #bjba1 ,kabul and the      
,green ,zone--the heart of the ,american
 diplomatic presence in                 
,afghanistan--was recaptured by the     
,taliban and remains under its control4 
,on ,august #be1 #bjba1 ,american       
citizens were still attempting to       
navigate through ,taliban blockades1 and
 widespread chaos on the streets of     
,kabul to ,hamid ,karzai ,international 
,airport in order to leave ,afghanistan4
  ,on ,august #bf1 #bjba1 ,secretary    
,blinken's failure to execute his duties
 to safely and efficiently evacuate of  
all ,united ,states government          

personnel1 dependents1 and private      
,united ,states citizens when their     
lives are in danger directly gave rise  
to a dangerous scenario at the ,kabul   
airport enabling terrorists to execute a
 deadly attack that killed eleven       
marines and a ,navy medic and further   
undermined his abilities to execute his 
duties under #bb ,u4,s4,c4 #dhjb7;b74   
,secretary ,blinken's actions1 including
 ignoring critical intelligence received
 from the embassy in ,kabul and ,united 
,states intelligence agencies1 have left
 ,american property1 military equipment 
and weapons in the hands of enemies of  
the ,united ,states1 left ,american     
citizens stranded in life threatening   
situations in dereliction of his duties 
as ,secretary of ,state 7#bb ,u4,s4,c4  
#bgae2 #bb ,u4,s4,c4 #dhjb74 ,these     
actions have eroded ,american interests 
and security as well as our credibility 
and relationships amongst our closest   
allies4 ,in failing to uphold his       
responsibilities of his office1         

,secretary ,blinken has failed to ensure
 the protection of the ,united ,states  
,government to ,american citizens1      
property1 and interests in foreign      
countries4  ,wherefore1 ,antony ,john   
,blinken1 by such conduct1 warrants

with his duties as an ,officer of the   
,united ,states1 as follows3  ,on       
,august #aj1 #bjba1 as the crisis in    
,afghanistan was evident and worsening1 
,secretary ,blinken's spokesman1 ,ned   
,price1 stated that the ,united ,states 
continues to have leverage ''' and the  
,afghan ,government has tremendous      
leverage44 ,an assertion now proven     
obviously erroneous constituting the    
provision of false information to the   
,congress and ,american citizens4  ,on  
,august #ae1 #bjba1 the ,taliban        
captured ,kabul1 the capital of         

,afghanistan4 ,over one week later1 on  
,august #be1 #bjba1 ,secretary ,blinken 
gave his first public briefing or       
interview since the collapse of         
,afghanistan4 ,this is in direct        
violation of his statutory duty to keep 
the ,committee on ,foreign ,relations of
 the ,senate and the ,committee on      
,foreign ,affairs of the ,house of      
,representatives fully and currently    
informed with respect to all activities 
and responsibilities within the         
jurisdiction of these committees 7#bb   
,u4,s4,c4 #bfhj7;b774  ,on ,july #ac1   
#bjba1 nearly two dozen ,american       
diplomats1 still remaining in the ,kabul
 embassy1 sent a memo directly to       
,secretary ,blinken through the ,state  
,department's 8dissent0 channel4 ,the   
cable1 first reported by the ,wall      
,street ,journal on ,august #ai1 #bjba1 
urged that evacuation flights for       
,afghans begin in two weeks and that the
 administration move faster to register 
them for visas4  ,five days prior to    

,secretary ,blinken receiving the cable 
through the dissent channel from ,kabul1
 ,president ,biden stated that the      
,afghan ,government was unlikely to fall
 and there would be no chaotic          
evacuations of ,americans similar to the
 end of ,vietnam4 ,upon receiving the   
dissent cable from the ,embassy1        
,secretary ,blinken had a moral duty and
 was statutorily obligated to inform the
 ,congress and ,american public 7#bb    
,u4,s4,c4 #bfhj7;b77 that ,president    
,biden's remarks needed to be clarified 
to prevent any confusion at home and    
abroad4  ,throughout the month of ,july 
and into ,august1 prior to the collapse 
of the ,afghan ,government1 the ,united 
,states ,intelligence ,community warned 
,president ,biden and his top advisors1 
including ,secretary ,blinken1 that the 
situation in ,afghanistan was worsening1
 the ,afghan military was ill-prepared  
to deal with the ,taliban1 and a        
preemptive removal of ,american troops  
was ill-advised4  ,in direct conflict   

with the intelligence and advice        
provided by his own diplomats and the   
intelligence community1 ,secretary      
,blinken failed to advise and counsel   
the ,president accordingly and did not  
inform the ,congress nor ,american      
citizens at home and abroad of the      
dangers posed by the advancing ,taliban 
of which he was explicitly aware4  ,as a
 result1 the ,afghan ,government        
collapsed in the month of ,august #bjba 
and ,american forces have been          
struggling to retrieve ,american        
civilians and allies1 and a humanitarian
 crisis has erupted at ,hamid ,karzai   
,airport in ,kabul4 ,secretary ,blinken 
has not informed the ,american public   
nor ,congress of what actions will be   
taken to ensure the safety of all       
,americans and ,american allies in      
,afghanistan4  ,wherefore1 ,antony ,john
