""Pelosi Lashes Out at Trump Admin For Delivering “Classified” War Powers Act Notification to Congress, ‘Americans Are Being Left in the Dark’"" House Speaker Nancy Pelosi lashed out at President Trump on Saturday after a formal notification of the drone strike was delivered to Capitol Hill. The White House informed Congress of the drone strike that killed General Qassim Soleimani, a top commander of Iran’s al-Quds Force at Baghdad’s International Airport.

The White House delivered a formal, entirely classified notification to Congress on Saturday informing lawmakers of the airstrike that took out several Iranian military officials, fulfilling its duties under the War Powers Act, the NY Times and WaPo reported.

Pelosi was furious that the Trump admin classified the notification and accused Trump of deliberately keeping Congress and Americans in the dark.

If she gets any angrier, because unlike other republican presidents Trump actually fights back, she might soon swallow her dentures.

I believe they can’t use tlhis info in any
charges of impeachment unless our president
declassifies.

The Trump Admin has conducted strikes in Iraq targeting high-level Iranian military officials and killing Iranian Quds Force Commander Qasem Soleimani without an AUMF against Iran. Further, this action was taken without the consultation of the Congress.

Again, Trump follows the law - not the way Democrats want, which they throw a hissy fit over, but to the letter of the law.
Way too many people don’t know the letter of the law.
If you don’t know the rules, you can’t win the game.

“if anyone leaks they should be hunted down and stood up against a wall.”

I imagine that’s part of the point. Trump has played many games vs leakers - now he has escalated it to a Most Dangerous Game: you leak, you die.

Delivering any document or information to democrats in congress is pretty much the same as declassifying it.

Americans Are Being Left in the Dark

They will be, literally, if the Dems are successful with their war on coal and fossil fuels.

We already know it was a Reaper drone that fired the Hellfire missile.

Trump shows excellent comprehension about how to make use of the tools he has. Good for him.

If the President were to take out an entire division of dangerous enemies and did not say anything about it until after the deed was down, I would not be angry, Nancy.

I would be ecstatic! What a poor, evil soul you have Nancy.

Sorry to disappoint you but she's Catholic and Catholics like all religions only need to confess their sins to be forgiven.

There are some sins that cannot be forgiven, namely those known as the Ten Commandments. SF Nan has broken all of them multiple times I would imagine.

Even Catholics must repent in their hearts of the sins they have committed and effort to cease the sinful behavior. What are the odds Nanzi falls short of this standard?

...the Administration’s decision to engage in hostilities against Iran.

Nothing in Iran was attacked. A terrorist, who just happened to be an Iranian, was attacked and killed IN IRAQ.
