Reporter Asks Trump if he's Notified Congressional Leaders About al-Baghdadi Raid; ‘We Decided Not to Because Washington Leaks Like I've Never Seen Before'
 [Red State] After notifying the American people that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was dead, he was asked by a reporter if he has "notified the congressional leaders about this? Pelosi, Schiff, Mitch McConnell?"President Trump replied: We notified some. Others are being notified now as I speak. We were going to notify them last night but we decided not to do that because Washington leaks like I've never seen before. There's no country in the world that leaks like we do. And Washington is a leaking machine. And I told my people we will not notify them until our great people are out, not just in, but out. I don't want to have them greeted with firepower like you wouldn't believe. So, we were able to get in. It was top secret... President Trump was right not to notify them ahead of time. They can't be trusted. This is a group of people who have a vested interest in preventing Donald Trump from getting a win, especially a foreign policy win. They can't be trusted. Treasonous POS's Democrats are notorious leakers. They impose strict secrecy rules around their impeachment inquiry meetings, then they strategically leak just the right sound bites, usually taken out of context. And, coming on the heels of the sharp rebuke Trump has faced over his decision to withdraw troops from Northern Syria, this moment is all the sweeter. Would you trust Adam Schiff or Nancy Pelosi to put country before politics? I wouldn't. Given the choice between the deaths of 50 anonymous U.S. soldiers or watching Trump take a victory lap, I believe they would choose the former. And then Pelosi would appear on cable and ask Americans to pray for our fallen soldiers and their families. Posted by: Frank G 2019-10-27 |
