The House Republicans are investigating allegations of Biden family corruption and the weaponization of government, but so far the only person who anybody has attempted to hold accountable is former President Trump, who is now up to over 100 indictments

Oh, there's something else that nobody has been held accountable for, and we're not talking about this administration's botched Afghanistan withdrawal.

It was something neither of us could believe they would have actually done -- until we read it and the IG explained the completely irregular process that had been adopted to create the environment where it could happen.
