Adam Schiff says he still hasn't gotten an 'adequate answer' about why Trump authorized the Soleimani strike now

House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) says he's still waiting on a satisfying answer about why President Trump determined now was the right time to authorize a drone strike killing Iranian General Qassem Soleimani.

After receiving a briefing Friday, Schiff told CNN's Manu Raju there is one thing he is "not yet satisfied on": why the Trump administration chose to act against Soleimani now.

"Soleimani has been a risk to the United States for a long time. Soleimani has been engaged in deadly and malevolent action throughout the region for a long time. The question is why the administration chose this moment ... when other administrations, both parties, decided that would escalate the risks, not reduce them. I've yet to get an adequate answer to that question."

The answer is that it’s on a need to know basis and you don’t need to know Schiff for brains.
Now go back to the basement and continue sucking on your thumb as you have wet impeachment dreams scumbag.

You have to be adequate to get an adequate answer. That leaves you out, Schiff. Go blank yourself.

Apparently, he was taken off the list in the "soetoro/kerry/jarret nuclear deal.

But wait....PDJT flushed that unconstitutional load of shiite along with a healthy bowel movement a while ago.

ALL GOOD!

I doubt that Schifthead has the security clearance to get the answers he wants.

The real reason was to show America what is possible when Mr. Leaker (Schiff) is removed from the Intel loop.

So then Schiff admits that the US has let live a terrorist that has killed Americans because taking him out would be inconvenient?

Yeah - because GWB and BHO proved to be such masters of foreign policy. When people of Iran AND Iraq both celebrate the POTUS decision I’ll ignore little Schiffy.

Because, Adam I am Madam, Trump is rebuilding our military (I’ll bet you voted for that, right?) and is not afraid to take the proper action against this monster.

Hey, that was pretty tough to figure out, huh?

The question is why the administration chose this moment

Obviously, Soleimani was about to reveal the REAL transcript of the phone conversation with Ukraine.

Schiff, if I were you, I'd keep a sharp eye out for drones.

“Soleimani has been a risk to the United States for a long time. Soleimani has been engaged in deadly and malevolent action throughout the region for a long time. .............................. Schitt said that? WTF? The answer is simple, your Critter in Chief had 8 years and knew all and did nothing while you sat on your butts and ignored it. The Democrats always have the loudest mouths when it comes to blaming other’s for their own failures.
