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."

Sniveling Little Schitt should sit down and read the Constitution one of these days. The powers,and limitations,of each of the three branches of government are clearly spelled out.

I would respectfully request that we assist him in joining the terrorist group for a first-hand look at the situation. If he isn’t willing to do this then he can go pound sand.

I suppose the Chairman of the House Intelligence Commitee has NO idea how the attack on the US Embassy in Baghdad and Suleimanis presence in Baghdad have ANY connection

Because it needed to be done long ago, ...
....and in this instance DJT couldn’t afford telling any Ds for fear or a treasonous leak.
Nothing personal, Adam....just business, you asshole. I’m sure you understand leaks, and all that....

this POS can go #### himself.
I’m really getting sick of him and his anti American sentiments and quite frankly the garbage that elected him.
They are enemies of the state, all.

He misses not being part of the news, doesn’t he?
Why did President Trump get two scoops of ice cream when no one else did?
You sad sack doofus - go away - give it a rest!
To: Libloather
I doubt seriously that Trump would give Schiff the time of day.
Schiff could write a new article of impeachment.
- Article 1: Used the Office of the President to investigate corruption, Democrat corruption.
- Aricle 2: Obstructed the Democrat's witch hunt by claiming Executive Privilege that would have made Democrats make their case in court.
- Article 3: Killed the top terrorist in the world, making Trump look even better and thus interfering in the 2020 election.

Soleimani was a bit careless. He thought himself bulletproof, but following the embassy trouble...big mistake. And weren’t those other lieutenants with him ?
Aloha, Qa’seem....we won’t miss you much.

Gee, Adam. Did your black messiah give you an ‘adequate answer’ as to why he allowed and funded the Iranian takeover of Iraq and Syria? Inquiring minds want to know.

Schiff should be out of the loop. Notwithstanding his position, he simply cannot be trusted.

What part doesn’t Schiff get? Our Embassy was attacked and we had to evacuate our staff and ambassador. 2 days of protests at our embassy.
He really is a special kind of stupid.
