This development is a win for the committee\u2019s chairman, Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas).<\/p>\n<h3>Committee Members to View the Cable<\/h3>\n<p>The committee announced this development on June 5. McCaul, along with Ranking Member Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.), viewed the cable on May 23 at the State Department. Whether committee members will have to go to the department to see it or whether they can view it in the House\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dem-civil-war-erupts-with-name-calling-leaks\/\" title=\"Dem Civil War Erupts With Name-Calling, Leaks\">sensitive compartmented information facility<\/a> (SCIF) is yet to be determined. The committee\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/from-impeaching-incitement-to-canceling-conservatism\/\" title=\"From Impeaching Incitement to Canceling Conservatism\">deputy communications director<\/a>, McLaurine Pinover, told The Epoch Times that the timing of when they will view the document is also yet to be determined.<\/p>\n<h3>The Dissenters Were Right<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cAlthough I cannot discuss the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-73976-ballots-released-by-maricopa-county-56-1-for-donald-trump\/\" title=\"BREAKING: 73,976 Ballots Released By Maricopa County \u2014 56.1% FOR DONALD TRUMP\">classified information<\/a> in the cable, I can say the dissenters were right\u2013and the administration should have listened,\u201d said McCaul in a May 23 statement released by the committee. McCaul had called on the State Department to let other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dont-be-gaslighted-about-how-insane-the-kavanaugh-hearings-were-even-before-blasey-ford-accusations%ef%bf%bc\/\" title=\"Don\u2019t Be Gaslighted About How Insane The Kavanaugh Hearings Were Even Before Blasey Ford Accusations\ufffc\">committee members view<\/a> the cable as well.<\/p>\n<h3>What the Cable Contains<\/h3>\n<p>The committee subpoenaed Secretary of State Antony Blinken in March for the cable, which, as The Wall Street Journal first reported, shows the U.S. Embassy in Kabul warning the State Department about the Taliban quickly gaining ground and the Afghan forces falling apart. They gave suggestions on how to expedite an evacuation and alleviate the situation.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The cable, dated July 13 [2021], also called for the State Department to use tougher language in describing the atrocities being committed by the Taliban,\u201d the Journal reported, citing a person familiar with its contents.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe cable was written by 23 officials at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, including the then-Charge d\u2019Affaires Ross Wilson, and was sent through the State Department\u2019s dissent channel, which allows officials to voice concerns without fear of retaliation,\u201d the Journal reported.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p>It is important for the committee to view this cable as it could provide insight into the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/listen-elon-musk-presses-robinhood-ceo-about-gamestop-fiasco-restricted-trading\/\" title=\"LISTEN: Elon Musk Presses Robinhood CEO About GameStop Fiasco, Restricted Trading\">decision-making process<\/a> that led to the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan.
