Trump, at Ohio rally, says Democrats would have leaked Soleimani attack plans

I watched (and thought that I had posted) the first half hour of the rally.  The stadium of 8,000 was packed and couldn't find pics or reporting of the thousands waiting outside.  A couple of disruptions in the beginning. 

He hit home a very valid point though -- Congress is corrupt.  People need to keep that in mind next time they vote.

Trump, at Ohio rally, says Democrats would have leaked Soleimani attack plans

Flush with campaign cash and facing down a possible Senate impeachment trial, President Trump headlined his first major rally of the election year Thursday in Ohio -- and almost immediately, the president capitalized on his order to take out Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani after the military leader was said to have orchestrated an attack on the U.S. Embassy in Iraq.

In unequivocal terms, Trump slammed House Democrats' nonbinding War Powers Resolution, which passed earlier in the day in a rebuke to the Soleimani strike. Trump went on to suggest that Democrats, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and "Liddle' pencil-neck" House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., would have tipped off the media about the operation had they known about it.

"They're saying, 'You should get permission from Congress, you should come in and tell us what you want to do -- you should come in and tell us, so that we can call up the fake news that's back there, and we can leak it,'" Trump said. "Lot of corruption back there."

The president added that it would have been impractical to alert Congress, given the "split-second" nature of the decision to kill Soleimani.

Judging by their statements and actions since his death does anyone doubt that is exactly what they would've done?

A constant threat.  An imminent opportunity.   Kudos for the President's "split-second" decision when Soleimani appeared in the cross-hairs.

No doubt whatsoever.  The DEMS were hoping that this was going to be Trump's Benghazi.  He completed his mission and escalated nothing.  Done. Over.

Without a doubt.
