The next administration (Trump's court-martial list and the Abbey Gate attack)

Daily Kos has this piece by Bill Addis. Caveat: they conduct no advance review of the contents. Excerpt:

The biggest problem is that [Donald J.] Trump is responsible for the chaotic withdrawal. He reduced troop strength and then negotiated with the Taliban directly, adding to the difficulty of doing the withdrawal.

If Trump's cadre actually follows through on the threat, they'll also expose Trump's mistakes. You can't possibly investigate the withdrawal without seeing these.

It all starts with Trump's frequent mentioning of the 13 soldiers that died from a suicide bomber at Abbey Gate at the Kabul airport. The bomber turns out to have been an Islamic State operative that was freed from prison by the Taliban.
