Trump defends keeping ‘leaker’ Schiff, Pelosi out of the loop on al-Baghdadi raid

President Trump on Monday defended his decision not to give Democratic congressional leaders advance notice of the raid that resulted in the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, saying once again that he was concerned the details would leak out.

When Trump first announced al-Baghdadi's death Sunday morning, he said he decided not to tell officials, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, because he was afraid leaks could compromise the mission. Speaking to reporters Monday morning, he singled out House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., as the focus of those concerns.

"The only thing is they were talking about why didn't I give the information to Adam Schiff and his committee, and the answer is because I think Adam Schiff is the biggest leaker in Washington," Trump said. "You know that, I know that, we all know that. I've watched Adam Schiff leak. He's a corrupt politician. He's a leaker like nobody has ever seen before."

Trump, meanwhile, also indicated Monday that he may release some video footage of the raid, which he described in great detail a day earlier.

"We’re thinking about it. … We may take certain parts of it and release it, yes," Trump said.

Trump went on to blast Schiff for his handling of the impeachment investigation, including when he recited an embellished version of Trump's July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, which Schiff later described as "parody."...

So..

Real question. I wonder what raid Trump DID tell them about?

Leak testing is a thing you know. The reaction hints that something was shared, and that Pelosi and hoard “took action”.

“...deserve strong, smart and strategic leadership...”

Well, that rules out about 99.99% of the democrat party, right there....

Especially the “smart” part...

They would have sabotaged it just to make the President look bad. They could care less about the military.

He knows it.

Pelosi and Schitt can embrace the suck.

Schiff and pelosi both hate Trump more than they love America. That said, there is NO WAY the president should share operational details because they WILL leak it to derail the mission to make Trump look “bad.”

Don’t DEFEND... ATTACK instead. They had no right to know this or anything else. There was a time when the dems would have been horse whipped for what they have been doing to this nation!!

There was a time when the adults of this nation worked hard all day with no time for leisure or coffee shop. The “gym” was not fashionable... working 18 hr days was. The only time/day for resting, was on Sunday.. the rest of the week after the 18 hrs of work is done, ya can’t sit and watch TV.. ya fall asleep! Sleep came easy and welcome.. morning came before the sun was up.

Today, give a young person that schedule and he’d wonder “is he my boss... do I have to do all that?.. i’m too busy and can’t do it.”
