So Nancy Pelosi says "No" to SOTU based on "security concerns" and then Adam Schiff implies POTUS was "irresponsible" in exposing her travel into a "war zone" as if it's a security concern. Well if the US has enough security resources to send her and others into a "war zone" then wouldn't it have enough to secure a SOTU address?

Wouldn't the marines be able to secure the SOTU address?

And besides, POTUS only revealed Pelosi's CANCELED travel plans - that should be safe.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) claimed Thursday that President Donald Trump revoking a planned congressional delegation’s access to military aircraft was unprecedented. “As far as we can tell, this has never happened in the annals of congressional history,” he said. 

Schiff was scheduled to travel with the delegation alongside House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and others. Speaking to the press Thursday, Schiff said Trump was out of line in discussing the congressional delegation’s plans, which are usually kept secret until after the trip is completed due to security concerns. The delegation would have traveled to Afghanistan. 

“I’m not going to comment on the Speaker’s travel plans,” he told reporters. “Frankly, there has been far too much said about that already. I think the President’s decision to disclose a trip that a Speaker was making to a war zone was completely and utterly irresponsible in every way.”

Thread on the forum re Pelosi’s luggage left on a cart outside her office:

PICTURE: Trump Returns CODEL Luggage to Pelosi’s Office (Epic troll successfully completed.)

Posted on 1/17/2019, 3:46:17 PM by E. Pluribus Unum

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s luggage has been returned to the halls of congress by cart, according to a picture sent to the Washington Free Beacon by a snap-happy tipster.

The picture shows the luggage were returned to Pelosi on “military liaison” marked carts.

Pelosi’s bags were packed for a congressional trip to Belgium and Afghanistan, but the trip was canceled just before the delegation was set to leave by President Donald Trump, who let her know in a letter that she would have to fly commercial if she still wanted to make the trip.
