onald Trump Kept Plans for Raid Against Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi From Democrats Involved in Impeachment Hearings
President Trump said he withheld information about the raid that killed ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi from some members of Congressincluding senior Democrats on the committees involved in the impeachment inquirybecause he was worried about leaks. We notified some [and] others are being notified now as I speak, Trump said Sunday morning, approximately 12 hours after he tweeted that something very big has just happened. Those left out of the loop included House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Trump said that telling the Democratic leaders would have put U.S. forces at risk. Washington is a leaking machine, Trump said. The only people that knew were the few people that I dealt with...A leak could have caused the death of all of them.
Personally I don't see why anyone in either political party not directly in the chain of command, which probably eliminates virtually every politician save the Vice President, should have been briefed prior to the action.
When you are engaging in impeachment, all other matters take the backseat.
If the Senate goes to court, those jurors/Senators cannot go on the campaign trail for 2020.
And well he should have otherwise they would have betrayed our country and tipped him off.
Good move, Mr President.
Those under investigation for treason are not allowed to see certain sensitive information!
Democrats never have this countrys best interests at heart. Its about politics with them.
They found out like the rest of us did and theyre full of gloom. Cry me a river.
Think of the American lives that were saved.
Paging Boo Hoo Girl.
Obama and Hillary lied to Congress for weeks about Benghazi so the 9-11-2012 election wouldn’t tank Obama’s re-election in November 2012.
The Daily Bitch wasn’t upset about those LIES or locking up a patsy filmmaker’s who’s youtube video played no role in the attack.
Hell I would have kept the info from a good chunk of republicans in Congress. They are filthy swamp scum too.
This will now be added to the list the Dems claim as another impeachable offense
And well he should have otherwise they would have betrayed our country and tipped him off.
Good move, Mr President.

Amen. The Democrats are the frenemy.
To prove it, President Trump should “inform” Schiffty and Pelosi about an upcoming military operation and see how long it takes for it to get reported by the Fake News Media. You know, kind of like what GHW Bush did before going into Somalia.

Ture story.
I am sure dhimmicrats think think Trump was being spiteful when in reality Trump knew if he included them they would have not been able to get to the media fast enough to sabotage it
Why should he tell them a damn thing..it would have taken Schiff FIVE SECONDS to go leak it to the commie media, or to Al-Baghdadi himself..and he would have either gotten away or US troops would have been killed, which is what the Dems wanted..they are disappointed troops didnt die so they could blame Trump

Sorry folks, I just think that Trump is trolling the Democrats. Even if the GOP ran the House, I would not be briefing the HPSCI on a prospective operation like this one. Where is the need to know?
Good. The DemoRats would have warned him.
The media weekend duty B-teams have settled on a spin which amounts to self-parody. Do any of us really believe that they would have warned al-Baghdadi in order to harm Trump at the expense of their own country. Uh...actually, all of us believe that. Because it’s true.
