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."

A whistleblower called in the airstrike. Treat that accordingly.

Where is Schiffhead’s authority to challenge this?

Better yet he could completely invent a fake conversation in the war room with him mocking everyone about how they are laughing how they have no strategy at all.

I've yet to get an adequate answer to that question. That might be a problem, if you mattered.

It was an act that massively destabilized the region.
The real question is, Was this a good thing for American interests or not?
Still to early to tell.

I'd be pleased to "explain" it to ADumb Schitt with a set of brass knuckles.
Repeatedly.

Sort of creates some problems for Shifty’s assertion that Trump is Putin’s puppet.

Trump probably thought of going to Pelosi and Schiff and saying “Can you two keep a secret?” Then he thought better of it.
He should have told both “We have called off chasing that guy Soleimani. Not worth it. Keep this top secret.”
Then after finishing his phone call from Schiff, Soleimani would be leaning back in a lounge chair, his hands behind his head, content his American allies have told him he’s safe.
