White House sends Congress formal notification of Soleimani strike
By Rachel Frazin - 01/04/20 06:29 PM EST

The White House has formally notified Congress of the U.S. strike that killed Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, according to a Saturday statement from Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) office.

The 1973 War Powers Act requires the president to notify Congress of the "circumstances necessitating the introduction of United States Armed Forces" within 48 hours.

The Speaker reacted to the notification saying that the entirety of the of the information conveyed was classified and that she believes it "raises more questions than it answers."

He has to notify Congress within 48 hr. Congress has been notified.  Pelosi is throwing a hissy fit as she usually does.  I'm waiting for them to catch her on camera, mumbling, stuttering and not quite making sense while she chatters on with her loose false teeth.

That this is classified tells me that Congress is being given the FULL truth.

I can wait until tomorrow for the NYT to lead me out of the dark.

It may be that Trump is setting her up knowing she wants desperately to take the information and beat Trump about the head and shoulders with it but now she cannot because it is classified.He is just waiting for her to start broadcasting classified information..... pretty smart....

I am just so sick of all the lies from her and the rest of her cronies.  If they gave a damn about this country, they'd be backing him right now instead of trying to tear him down.

Actually, I'll bet it isn't.  The Administration rightly doesn't trust Pelosi, and won't give her the chance to expose classified materials that could hurt U.S. intelligence efforts and/or assets.  So they were likely provided with some rather general confidential or secret level info, but not the juiciest stuff.

Ok. Thanks for the correction.

@EdinVA

The funny part is the left is still confused and think they are winning,and all this is some sort of cosmic mistake that will correct itself. Right now they are SOOOOOO freaking mad that a mere President has the GALL to stand up to them that they are blind to what is really happening.

And I am loving the HELL out of it. Couldn't happen to a more  deserving AND despicable group of people.

Right. When the leaks come out, hopefully someone will be up on charges.

Trump needs to be setting leak-traps for Congressional Dems as a matter of course. Give them partial information, as you suggested, or innocuous stuff such as privately giving a Trump itinerary with one false stop so as to expose a leaker when protesters show up at the false stop. Make Congressional Dems fear that every communication from Trump has snares to catch/expose leakers. IOW, turn the Dems' leaking game against them.

Maybe an additional part of the plan is to ascertain where the leaks spring from...?
