I'm too lazy to google the date right now, but it happened back before Chump knew he was going to lose the election. Pompeo told the Taliban and the Afghans that the Americans are leaving THIS year, because they (Pompeo and Chump) both believed they would still be in office this year.

This wasn't a devious setup to make Biden (or any other Dem) look bad. This was just mismanagement of everything because Chump and Pompeo were terrible at diplomacy.
