President Trump weighed in on a number of hot-button topics in a string of tweets Saturday morning, the day after naming a new White House communications director and accepting the resignation of press secretary Sean Spicer.
The president took aim at some familiar targets: the "Amazon Washington Post," leaks, Hillary Clinton, "Special Council" Robert Mueller and others.
But one missive in particular left observers scratching their heads. In a cryptic tweet, Mr. Trump accused "the Failing New York Times" of foiling an attempt to kill Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
The Failing New York Times foiled U.S. attempt to kill the single most wanted terrorist,Al-Baghdadi.Their sick agenda over National Security
-- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 22, 2017
While Mr. Trump did not provide more detail about the accusation, the tweet came about 20 minutes after a segment about leaks aired on Fox News' "Fox and Friends." At one point, the chyron read "NYT FOILS U.S. ATTEMPT TO TAKE OUT AL-BAGHDADI."

To quote the Russian ambassador in DR. STRANGELOVE, “Our source was the NEW YORK TIMES!”
Likely would not be that difficult to move him into the US to hide him for a while...But who would do that???

Not sure if Sessions has any goals in mind as AG. He doesn’t seem to be interested in anything. Even blatant crimes such as this.
Not necessarily in that order ..
Oh, right. I am trying to not be disappointed with a good man, but he has not been displaying any fire in his belly.
He attacks the New York Times, then gives them Exculsive interviews. What the hell is wrong with him?
Journalist went to prison for issues like this during WWII.
“Buckle up, Everyone! A new dispensation with Scaramucci!!!”
Well, it’s easy to understand why they did that...the NYT is on the side of anyone who wants to this country. They are an institution that doubles as an enemy combatant.
...that wants to harm this country...

Didn’t VP Cheney’s Chief of Staff (Scooter Libby) do time in prison for lying or misrepresenting during an FBI investigation of an outed FORMER CIA operative who’d been working in Langley for five plus years (Valerie Plame), while this is about a covert operative who has been in the field up till the publication of this story.
‘That was a very good lead. Unfortunately, it was leaked in a prominent national newspaper about a week later and that lead went dead,’ said Thomas, in an apparent reference to a New York Times report about the raid from June 2015.
Wow. I missed this. Looking forward to the follow up.
Or as old General Sherman said: Journalists - I would shoot them but then there would be despatches from hell by morning.
The CIA needs to identify the individuals responsible and “take them out.” National security is a game you play for keeps. There is a long tradition of killing spies and these guys are worse than spies.
The NY Slimes has been engaged in treason for decades. Didn’t they also foil the Bay of pigs invasion by alerting Castro? Why is this paper still in existence? That’s not freedom of the press, that is hardcore blatant treason - Providing aid to the enemy.

I seriously doubt that the CIA is unbiased in what they report to Trump. The 17 IC agencies all agree thing was total BS.
The Swamp is broad with many deep holes. Sorta like the Oak
