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.

Just another reason to LOVE Pres Trump as he knows who the potential leakers might be and by not telling them he keep OUR military safe during this military action!
What looks like either-net cables galore!
No Shifty SCIF wireless leakage.
I’m not sure about that.
If you want to realistically photo shop Obama, you need a line of cocaine on the table and Obama staring up at Reggie Love.
Bin Laden was a CIA very useful tool and asset before he got loose from the pen. I would venture to say with confidence so was Al-Baghdadi.
Oh boy, that’s almost as good as stopping their bus on the way to the airport.
Why is John Lithgow there?
Why is John Lithgow there?
he would never tell them before hand. It’s afterwards that the media will cry about.
Trump wanted to make the announcement of the successful raid not let the democrats steal it.
Al-Schiff would have given the dude a heads up to deprive Trump of a win.
Good.

Dear Mr. al Baghdadi,
It was a pleasure to meet with you and your staff today. We are confident that with your help, security arrangements can be made to advance the construction of the discussed natural gas pipeline through Northern Syria. I have briefed Senators Graham and Schumer as well as the President on this plan, and they have promised the full support of the US military and intelligence agencies in arranging the establishment of your caliphate and helping you and your men to pacify these dangerous lands.
Payment from the government of Qatar has been transferred to your Swiss bank account, as previously discussed.
Please coordinate with representatives of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt to arrange delivery of your new weapons. The stocks that have just arrived from Libya are of very high quality, though not the US military issue you asked for.
Best regards,
Senator John McCain

If they did know we have a problem in military keeping their mouths shut. The spook community has bigger mouths than Ethel Merman’s.
And?
