It was a measure of the strained atmosphere in Washington that two top Democrats — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Adam Schiff, who heads the House intelligence committee — didn’t get a heads-up from Trump about the operation.That, of course, is bullshit. Trump wanted to poke a finger in their eyes and he did.
Trump didn’t trust them to keep it secret.
“Washington is a leaking machine,” Trump said. In this case, he said, “there were no leaks, no nothing. The only people that knew were the few people that I dealt with.”
As far as I know, common procedure, if not the law, requires a president to inform the leadership of the Congress before military action takes place. Trump informed his masters in Moscow and he let his Senatorial Ass-Kisser, Lindsey Graham, know. That is an abuse of power, so let's add that to the many reasons why Trump should be removed from office (and disqualified).
Trump himself couldn't keep it secret, tweeting out a hint that something had happened.
Trump is a petty, vindictive, wannabee tyrant. That was on full display on Sunday morning, as he made the operation to kill al-Baghdadi all about Trump.
Al-Baghdadi was many things, all of them evil. But it is rather interesting that a man who did his utmost to avoid combat when he was of age has the gall to call anyone else a coward.

He is trying to defend the indefensible. Nearly everything he does goes against law. And if not the law, then at least against procedure or protocol. I hope he got the message loud and clear at the World Series game on Sunday. He was booed loudly (very different from his touring circle jerks) and the spontaneous chant of "Lock him up" when his picture went on the scoreboard had to have angered him.
