The Afghan national suspected of shooting two National Guard members near the White House on Wednesday had worked with the CIA, the agency’s director said, according to Fox News Digital.
The comments come amid an investigation into the shooting near the White House, which officials described as a targeted ambush. The Guard members, who have not been identified, remain in critical condition.
Intelligence sources told Fox that the suspect, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, had ties with various entities in the U.S. government, including the CIA, due to his work as a member of a partner force in Kandahar before the U.S. withdrawal.
Isn’t it sort of weird for an intelligence director to put that out in the open not even a week after occuring?
The CIA director is just a politically appointed figure. They don’t really run the CIA, so who knows what his political agenda here is.
If you read the article you get a picture of his agenda
From the article
CIA director John Ratcliffe told Fox News Digital: “The Biden administration justified bringing the alleged shooter to the United States in September 2021 due to his prior work with the U.S. government, including CIA.”
He added that Lakanwal “and so many others—should have never been allowed to come here.”
Trump has gotten a lot of agents killed IIRC. If the CIA is fed up with his shit, that’s not the worst situation.
No it is okay because he worked under the Biden CIA, which is definitely not at all remotely the same as the Trump CIA whatsoever.
that would suggest gross incompetance. Impossible.
Wait, didn’t someone report the guardsmen had died?
Thanks, I thought I remembered seeing that
Thats what I thought, pretty sure I heard that on NPR the day of. Guess someone had bad info.
