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

[FOXNEWS] President Trump said Sunday morning that he did not tell House Speaker Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi
Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments...

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.
Riiiiiiggghht
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.

"No, I didn’t. I didn’t do that. I wanted to make sure this kept secret," Trump said. "I don’t want to have people lost."
He knows they'd have thrown the troops' safety to the wind if it scored some cheap news and political points *spit*
Pelosi issued a statement after al-Baghdadi's death was announced, criticizing Trump for not informing leaders in Congress beforehand.

"The House must be briefed on this raid, which the Russians but not top Congressional Leadership were notified of in advance, and on the Administration’s overall strategy in the region," Pelosi said. "Our military and allies deserve strong, smart and strategic leadership from Washington."

Trump said that he did notify Russia beforehand that the U.S. would be active in the region, because Russia currently has a presence there. The president said he did not reveal the purpose of the mission.

Pence downplayed Trump’s decision to keep Pelosi in the dark in an appearance on "Fox News Sunday" immediately following Trump’s address. The vice president claimed that Trump did not mean to say he did not trust the House Speaker.

#1 Are the Democratic House leaders secure, probably... but why risk it? Are their aides reliable... doubtful. Is the IT network that those charming Pakistani IT engineers worked on secure, doubtful ... why risk it?

#2 Congress can't be trusted. As a group, they are a very poor risk. Loose lips sink ships still applies. A briefing to a congressman in world war 2 had him blabbing about Japanese depth charges set to go off too shallow had the Japanese resetting the depth charge settings deeper.

Object Lesson: Rep. Andrew May

10 subs and 800 sailors lost because of his big mouth. That's why, Nancy.

#3 This is surely a joke.

The Democratic Party + their administrative Deep State friends aren't leakers; they're a SIEVE.

Info they get passes directly to their pals - spouses, mistresses, f-buddies in some cases - at NYT WaPo CNN-MSNBC-ABC-CBS-NBC-Politico-Buzzfeed.

This isn't opinion or spin; this is fact.
Glenn Simpson said it all: "hack that I am."

Stop whining, bitches. Just admit it: you declared war on this president. Leaking is what you do by default. It's not even "leaking," as you see it; it's more like pissing. You e been pissing on this POTUS from before Day One of his presidency.

But now you're pissing into the wind. Suck it up.

#4 This congress is all but one thing. A great big giant piece of shit.

Pearls to swine is out as an option with the dirty, nasty, filthy, democrats.

If you were not such leaches and shitty human beings, you could be part of the plan instead of the destructor of ANY plan.

So Fuck off Pelosi, you worthless government grifter from hell, and all your flying monkeys too., You have nothing at all to do with the survival of this Nation or it's preservation.

#5 After the Ukraine thing, I'd be surprised if he let them know if an alien invasion was coming. The House is clearly a separate, parallel govt for now; functioning through proxies trying to usurp elected executive power. A kangaroo council.

#6 After the Ukraine thing, I'd be surprised if he let them know if an alien invasion was coming.

Sometimes, I look at the World and I wonder - could it be that we're already ruled by aliens?

#10 These are people who think nothing of sending and storing classified info using private, unsecured email servers.
People whose spouses use those exact same servers to send naked photos of themselves to strangers -- to children, as well as to honeypot / entrapping women.
People who commission and pay Ukrainian and other foreign agents for outlandish lies and nonsense under the guise of "opposition research" about their rivals.

And you morons want us to trust you with details of special ops against terrorists?

AYFKM?

#11 Makes me laugh that the Dems are complaining of how its unprecedented not to inform the gang of 8 (or whatever they are called) on this type of thing while simultaneously carrying out an unprecedented behind closed doors/not vote impeachment.

Act like a traitor don't be surprised when you are treated like a traitor. I just wish we treated modern traitors the way we once did, then i wouldn't be seeing Jane Fonda in the news these days.
