'Washington is a leaking machine'
Posted on 10/27/2019 7:46:26 AM PDT by COUNTrecount
Several news reports indicated Sunday that House Intelligence Committee chair Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) had not been notified in advance about the successful raid on the hideout of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the so-called “Islamic State,” or ISIS.
Al-Baghdadi was killed in the raid; there were no U.S. casualties aside from a wounded K-9 dog.
CNN and MSNBC bother reported that Schiff had been left in the dark:
President Donald Trump confirmed in remarks to the press Sunday after his address to the nation that he had deliberately kept some congressional leaders out of the loop, without naming Schiff directly.
“We notified some; others are being notified as I speak,” Trump said.
“We were going to notify them last night but we decided not to do that because Washington leaks like I’ve never seen before,” Trump said. “There is no country in the world that leaks like we do and Washington is a leaking machine.”
Trump said that tU.S. forces would have been placed in greater danger due to leaks in Washington tipping off the terrorists.

If Trump briefed Schifty (two minutes later):
Schiff: Dude, you need to build more tunnels quick!
Al Baghdadi: LOL, you’re paranoid. I know you guys got the orange man hamstrung with the fake impeachment hearings.
Schiff: Seriously, I’m only going to say this 8 more times. He’s going after you. They’re coming in low under radar, using K-9 and robot drones.
Al Baghdadi: Whatever. Hey, when are you coming over for tea? I miss the good old days.
I watched CNN for a few minutes, they cut off the Trump news conference way before Fox News did, and Jake Tapper (host) looked like he had a case of horrible indigestion.
Nancy Pelosi is upset Trump informed Russians about the operation before her. Well DUH....it was best way to stop leaks, Nancy.
Why would a Traitor and Leaker like Adam Schitt be briefed on anything?
“ISIS Schiff”
McCain would also be very sad IF he were alive!
I have it on very good but anonymous account that the Schiff secret hearing room is bugged and the audio is transmitted across the river to secret offices in Arlington
It crosses my mind that Al Baghdadi must have had laptops and other documents that could have been recovered in this raid.
Wonder what those will show- if they exist.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
trump did allow that computers & other documents were collected during the raid & can be used to help determine the origins of ISIS.
The President said in our briefing that lots of valuable intelligence was obtained in the raid. All of ISIS is now in peril
I just heard on CNN the discredited Andrew McCabe, now employed by CNN, castigate Trump for the raid's utilization of trained canines, given the "feelings" of Muslims about dogs. In Islam, dogs are "impure" and cannot be touched. If you DO touch one, the hand must be washed 7 times.
So, don't employ our military service dogs when raiding Muzzies, according to the corrupt McCabe!
Then, again in full nit-picking mode, an anti-Trump retired military bigwig sitting next to McCabe, decried the President for not making a simple announcement of the raid on Bagdaddy, citing the President's ensuing press conference as "unnecessary, too detailed, possibly a revelation of classified info", blah, blah.
If the Prez HADN'T answered media questions after his announcement, this jerk would have castigated him for NOT being "transparent", and for "hiding something".
All in all, the leftist enemedia and its minions are in complete emotional meltdown, casting around at self-manufactured straw-men with soggy strands of limp noodles.

The only reason I believe he is really watching the Bin Laden raid, was he looked very pissed off. Seeing one of his homies die in real time most likely have really angered him.
I wouldn’t think too much about the focus in his eyes, he appeared stoned many times.
I wonder why they felt the need to show a picture of his staff supposedly watching the raid?? Seems childish.
I was thinking during Trump’s statement they would flip over this issue of not being notified.
There is no reason for Schiftless to have been briefed. This was a tactical combat operation by the Army.
“Adam Schiff Not Briefed (Not Trusted) on Raid on ISIS Leader Al-Baghdadi”
Read me a Nursery Rhyme please, Adam ............

The president took control of the language. He said something the the effect “canines, I call them dogs” and subsequently used the word dogs
My husband reports that in his home, Schiff has a secret room, where he donss a magic cape. This cape makes him feel like a super hero, and has special padding that covers his neck, to the chin, giving the impression that he actually has a normal neck. It also gives an unfortunate illusion that his head sits on a swivel. Ah, well, win some, lose some, Schiffy.
Obviously, there are still some good guys left, or it would have leaked, and or been unsuccessful.
Why brief someone who has demonstrated he is a traitor?
