Imagine if Secretary of State Antony Blinken suddenly disappeared. The State Department first said he was ill. Then Biden replaced Blinken without comment. As the days and weeks passed, the Biden administration simply refused to comment. Months later, we have no more information as to where Blinken is and what led him to disappear. Now imagine that Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin suddenly disappeared. Imagine that officials are only saying that they know nothing about what’s happened, even though the nature of his position means that some must know something.
