Is there anybody who can not understand that handing over multiple easily destroyed caches of some of our best and most technically advanced weapons to the CCP and Putin (our most dangerous enemies) should suffice as at least "Crimes and misdemeanors"?
There are two suspects Harris/Biden in the same class (and both in the direct chain of command), subject to the same laws and procedures. Impeach and prosecute them together. As for Harris's culpability, it should be argued that due to, at least, intermittent incapacity and/or absence of the President, she was in command or should have taken command and thus, just as culpable.
Indict and prosecute each civilian in the direct line of command from SecDef through to SecArmy, SecNav & SecAir.
Following UCMJ, do the equivalent to CJCS but add in dereliction of duty for not being even reasonably informed. Use his own recent statements as exhibit A through...
At the same time, make motions in the house to remove the Speaker and Senate to remove the Minority Leader. Consider motions to remove the Ranking Member of both Armed Forces Committees.
Maybe also set precedent in both chambers calling for a nonbinding vote of no confidence in all the above noted leadership, by title and name. //

The last 20 years are irrelevant!
The only relevant facts are how the President acted with the situation at hand. The same could be said for the Vice President whenever, over the last few days, the President was absent and/or incapacitated as she was in command or should have taken command.
The current situation is 98% the results of the actions taken in the last days back to a week or two at the most. At any point up to when those impetuous and derelict commands and actions were taken, this current situation could have been averted and then mitigated as much as reasonable.
All the latter impetuosity and dereliction were in the direct control of the President, Vice President, SecDef, SecNav/SecArmy/SecAir and CJCS and only to a moderate degree less further down the chain of command. Everyone below the President had opportunities to resist those precipitous actions, at the very least by protesting and resigning. By virtue of all the USA hardware, technology and sensitive information left behind for the Taliban to later be turned over to the CCP and Putin was, at the least, dereliction of duty. Then there are the enormous human costs, which are nowhere near their zenith.
