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 Congress—including senior Democrats on the committees involved in the impeachment inquiry—because 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.”
Yea, I saw that regarding Putin after posting. Talk about RUBBING SALT into the Democrat wounds.
“Talk about RUBBING SALT into the Democrat wounds.”
I love when that happens!
