Obama White House photographer says photo of Trump watching deadly strike on ISIS leader Baghdadi was STAGED because time stamp suggests it was taken two hours later
Pete Souza expressed suspicion about the photo of Trump in the Situation Room in a tweet on Sunday
He noted that the timestamp indicated it was taken at 17.05pm on Saturday - over 90 minutes after the 3.30pm raid reportedly took place
Many people shared support for Souza's speculation that the photo was posed
The chief official White House photographer for former Presidents Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama has suggested that a snap of President Donald Trump watching the deadly strike on ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was staged.
Pete Souza, an outspoken critic of Trump, tweeted the photo, which shows the president stone-faced alongside US military top brass, and noted that the timestamp indicated it was taken at 17.05pm on Saturday - over 90 minutes after the 3.30pm raid reportedly took place.
In doing so, Souza appeared to charge that Trump was not actually monitoring the situation when the photo was taken. Several users cited media reports that Trump returned to the White House at 3.33pm after spending his morning on the golf course Others came to Trump's defense and asserted that the raid could have continued through the time the photo was taken Souza acknowledged that possibility, tweeting: 'Before drawing definite conclusions about the photo, reporters need to nail down the actual timeline' Souza has been critical of Trump on many occasions in the past He served as chief official White House photographer for former Presidents Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama

looks like the libs are getting all wee-weed up
If Trump was asked what his favorite color was, somebody in the press would fight fault with it.
Yo, Souza, where are the pics you took of Soetoro monitoring the situation and his military response to the attack on our consulate in Benghazi?
So what? It is called “posing.” Taking photos during a classified operation would be stupid. One never knows what the camera will catch.
Barack Obama was absent from work while our ambassador was raped and murdered.
Barack has refused to say where he was or what he was doing leading people to suspect he was high as a kite on cocaine and having sex with a man.
Sooooo.....timelines are important for Trump photos but unimportant when it comes to aid for the Ukraine.
Got it. Liberal “logic”.
Hey Obama White House Photographer... Where is the picture you took of Obama during the Bengazi attack where our Ambassador was murdered?
Is this parody?
These people...
shame?
Well if it is staged after the fact that is an impeachable offense.
Like Obama’s wasn’t.
Well, that right there is grounds for impeachment.

The latest reporting from the NYT: the helicopters left Iraq at 5PM (Washington time), and they reported it was about a 70-minute flight to Syria. So actual raid had to happen some time after 6:10PM.

Staged? Since they are all looking directly into the camera, I assumed it was a just a shot of the group before they got down to business.
By having the President finish his round of golf, leakers could not tip anyone off on his rushing back to the situation room.
See my post #34 just above yours.
