Reports: Adam Schiff Not Briefed on Raid on ISIS Leader Al-Baghdadi
Breitbart, Oct 27, 2019

Several news reports indicated Sunday that House Intelligence Committee chair Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) had not been notified in advance about the successful raid on the hideout of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the so-called “Islamic State,” or ISIS.

Al-Baghdadi was killed in the raid; there were no U.S. casualties aside from a wounded K-9 dog.

CNN and MSNBC both reported that Schiff had been left in the dark:

President Donald Trump confirmed in remarks to the press Sunday after his address to the nation that he had deliberately kept some congressional leaders out of the loop, without naming Schiff directly.

“We notified some; others are being notified as I speak,” Trump said.
 
“We were going to notify them last night but we decided not to do that because Washington leaks like I’ve never seen before,” Trump said. “There is no country in the world that leaks like we do and Washington is a leaking machine.”

Trump said that tU.S. forces would have been placed in greater danger due to leaks in Washington tipping off the terrorists.

“A leak could have caused the death of all of them,” Trump said.

Pelosi wasn't told either.

Good call, since these two are consumed only with political advantage. I can see them tipping off ISIS if they felt a failed US raid would be detrimental to the presidents re election chances.

Trump says he kept details of ISIS operation from Pelosi to avoid leaks

President Trump said Sunday morning that he did not tell House Speaker Nancy Pelosi about the U.S. military raid in Syria that resulted in the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi because he was worried about leaks that could have compromised the mission.

Vice President Mike Pence said this was not an indication of a lack of trust.

When asked if he notified Pelosi beforehand, Trump said he did not because he did not want any members of the U.S. forces to die.

Good!

I'm not joking either.  Pelosi and Schiff would have tipped off Baghdadi just to snatch a victory away from Trump.  He was smart to not tell them.

That right there, that was a head shot.

But, Pelosi, just like a zombie, walks still, looking for brains to eat in Washington DC.

She may go hungry.

Let them.  It will hurt them more than it would hurt the President.

@Cyber Liberty
Any chance you see a parallel between your line of reasoning and the rats reasoning that closed door impeachment investigations are required to prevent Presidential witness tampering?

The very idea sounds silly to me.  Yet you don't sound like you're joking either.

Chris Wallace grills Pence on Trump hiding Baghdadi raid from Congress

excerpt:

During an interview on Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace pressed Pence on the decision to withhold that information from House Democrats.

“Does the president not trust the speaker of the House with sensitive national security information?” Wallace asked.

Actually, I'm happy and I think this is a Great Day for America, but if thinking NTs are sad because Bagdaddy is dead helps you smile then have a great day @Cyber Liberty

No, she wasn't. Schiffty and Pelosi have shown themselves unworthy of trust and Trump wasn't going to put US military people at risk. Schiffty's and Pelosi's Star Chamber tactics had consequences, and possibly will in the future, even if the Rs regain the majority in the House.

[PeteS in CA]

My jokes aside, some Progs have already called for this. The "funny" thing is, Schiffty, et al, may be so Trump-Wasted that they might not recognize how stupid that would be.
