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.

> They would have likely flown over and thrown themselves on top of the guy if the President had given them heads up.
So... You’re saying he should have told them?
Things that make you go, “hmmmmm.”
We can thank PG&E for Pelosi at least...
I like that idea.
During World War II if any member of Congress leaked the news of a covert operation - would that person have been charged?
Probably would have asked that the flags be flown at half staff.
Since when does he have a right to know about the operations of the CIC BEFORE it occurs.
Good. No Democrat can be trusted not to blab to the enemedia.
Trump can’t trust his phone calls not to be leaked, why I’m the world would trust anyone in that city?
Point taken
BTTT!
Once again, Trump has made these very small people even smaller.
Trump was alluding to the evil shifty bastard Democrats and their Deep State operatives during his speech. Too bad Shifty.
Terrific idea. The clown Schiff fell for a “kompromat” prank from Russkie comedians.
Hey Schifty, how the heck were we to reach you? You have yourself all sealed up in that impenetrable impeachment bunker you created you ‘prepper’.
You need to get out more.
Schiff would have tipped off ISIS for fear of more good news for the president. There is absolutely no doubt of this.
My god,it’s so Cpt. Obvious. These f-ing a-holes will go to HELL for Benghazi and Extortion 17 among others.
Poor Baby.
You Mr. Schitt are the problem with this nation
Zombie Pelose and Punchable Clown Face not informed? Oh my...
