Heaven forbid the Democrats were not given prior knowledge of the Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi so they could leak it as another destroy Trump move...they are so hurt (boo-hoo)
House Intelligence Chair Rep. Adam Schiff says he wasn't informed before al-Baghdadi operation Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., were not informed in advance of the U.S. special operations forces raid in northwestern Syria in which ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi died, Schiff told ABC’s "This Week"
"My understanding [Pelosi] wasn’t [told]. But a couple of things, first of all, good riddance. [Al-Baghdadi] was a bloodthirsty killer to the degree that he retained operational control of ISIS," Schiff said. "This is an operational success, this is a symbolic victory. He had the blood of thousands and thousands of people on his hands, including many Americans and American journalists. So, this a great day, a ruthless killer has been brought to justice."
Schiff appeared on "This Week" moments after President Donald Trump announced the outcome of the raid that took place in northwestern Syria on Saturday.
"Last night the United States brought the world’s number one terrorist leader to justice. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is dead," the president said in remarks Sunday morning from the White House.
Following his statement, Trump was asked by a reporter if he had notified any congressional leaders, including the speaker of the House. He replied, "We’ve 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 (are) like I've never seen before."

I learned about the Democrats during the LBJ times. Democrat's love wars to keep the funding dollars coming in. They can count on the free state army vote too as they always throw a few food scraps from their tables via food stamps. Ask your local Democrats about this and you will hear twist and spin. One might think on a local level with the amount of young male Granite City citizens things might be different but for some reason on election day they are not. One has to consider though the voting block of the Free State Army.
