House Intelligence Chair Rep. Adam Schiff says he wasn't told about al-Baghdadi operation
Yahoo.com ^ | 10/27/2019 | JACK ARNHOLZ,

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff were not informed in advance of the U.S. special operations forces raid in northwestern Syria in which ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi died, Schiff said on ABC’s "This Week"

"My understanding [Pelosi] wasn’t [told]. But a couple of things, first of all, good riddance. [Al-Baghdadi] was a blood thirsty killer to the degree that he retained operational control of ISIS, Schiff said. "This is an operational success, this is a symbolic victory. He had the blood of thousands and thousands of people on his hands, including many Americans and American journalists. So, this a great day, a ruthless killer has been brought to Justice. "

Schiff appeared on "This Week" moments after President Donald Trump announced the raid in northwestern Syria on Saturday.

"Last night the United States brought the world’s number one terrorist leader to justice. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is dead," the president said in remarks Sunday morning.

Many American Special Forces lives were saved by keeping ISIS Adam and San Fran Nan in the dark.

Good for President Trump!

After all, Mr. Schiff is running an unusual, some might say illegal investigation for a non=existent crime. If he’s allowed to go rogue...why not our wonderful Presdent.

I don’t think he has a right to complain although the media will be comforting him and handing tissues for his tears...and we will be smiling and enjoying the happenings.

No he would have called Baghdad Brennanwho has a direct line to the ISIS king. No reason for Schiff to get his hands dirty. LOL

All the media stories and comments about who was or wasn’t told about the operation to kill Al-Baghdadi shows how incredibly ignorant or lack of caring the media is about our country and our military...

Instead of writing or commenting about how successful the special operations mission was, they question who should know beforehand...

This operation was ran as ALL special operations and even conventional operations are to be ran...Only the people involved closely had the need to know...

Way to go, Mr President...

He’s Fuller-Schiff.

He cannot be trusted with any national intelligence.

Trump said repeatedly during the campaign that he would not broadcast his moves and he has not.

Schitt for Brains had his widdew fewinings hurt.

I’m reminded of when Trump brilliantly kicked the Rats off an Air Force jet bus right right before take-off; they were going on on a taxpayer funded vacation to the Middle East.

I remember Schiff came staggering off the bus, a dazed look on his face. You could tell he was thinking “ I can’t believe Trump kicked me off the bus. I’m a very important person!”

LMAO

Isn’t it horrifying that you can say such a thing and be right?

That’s what we’ve come to.

But Schiff4brains wasn’t upset when Obama and Hillary lied to Congress about the Benghazi terrorist attack on 9-11-2012.

Of course did not tell Schiff. You are not suppose to warn the enemy that you are coming.

You know there were DS IC operatives who were aware of what was happening. I guess had a leak occurred the “in the know” crowd would have been small enough to pinpoint the fink. Knowing that, I suppose the operatives realized a leak of this might have resulted in a stint in Leavenworth.

We cannot trust Schiff. I would not have included him either.

Obama let al-Baghdadi out of prison in 2009. In my opinion he and Hillary then helped create ISIS to take the “Arab Spring” to Syria. ISIS and al-Baghdadi were wholly owned Democrat subsidiaries, in my opinion.

Who in their right mind would tell Schiff or Pelosi about them? They’d be worried Big Al would be taken alive and would squeal on them.

This is a set up question, the implication being that the President was somehow required to inform Congress. Democrats always carp about too much power invested in the Presidency unless hypocritically they are holding the Presidency.
