Even though this is a major win for America, Schiff still hates it…
Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff is whining because Democrat House leaders were not informed of the raid on Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
He appeared on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday, after President Donald Trump made the announcement about the raid.
“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,” he said.
NEW: House Intel Chair Adam Schiff says Gang of Eight was not notified of U.S. raid in Syria.
“The reason to notify the Gang of Eight is frankly more important when things go wrong…But let’s not lose sight of the fact it was a success.” https://t.co/362XDBRqsO pic.twitter.com/E2jPGhQSPV

“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,” he said to the host of the show Martha Raddatz.
“It’s not the end of ISIS by any means and we’ve had some recent setbacks with the release of over 100 ISIS fighters.
“That struggle is going to have to go on, made more difficult by the fact that we have betrayed the kurds and withdrawn our forces from parts of Syria but nonetheless an important victory against this brutal killer.
“In terms of notifying the gang of eight, that wasn’t done. Look, the reason to notify the gang of eight is frankly more important when things go wrong.
“If — the president said it was dangerous flying in. The Russians could have shot down American planes,” he said.
“The gang of eight was told about the bin Laden raid?” Raddatz said.
“I wasn’t part of the gang of eight at the time but that’s my understanding. Had this escalated, had something gone wrong, had we gotten into a fire fight with the Russians, the administration has to be able to say, we informed Congress we were going in, they were aware of the risks,” he said.
“We at least gave them the chance to provide feedback. That wasn’t done here. I think that’s a mistake but let’s not lose sight of the fact that it was a success and a ruthless killer has been taken off the battlefield,” he said.
“Still concerned about the troops coming out?” Raddatz said.
“Absolutely. I think it’s a disastrous mistake to betray the Kurds this way. I think it improves the Russian position in the Middle East, something they desperately want.
“I vehemently disagree with what the president said that the Russians love having us there,” he said.
If Rep. Schiff wants to be informed of highly sensitive information as previous representatives have been then he should stop the leaks.
President Trump should not be blamed for not trusting sensitive information about a dangerous mission to people who leak to the press.
It was the correct decision by President Trump, and the Democrats should stop whining about it and celebrate the victory.

Schiff is a low life mother F—-r! He doesn’t need to know diddly squat!
If the information about the raid was given to Nasti….. then you would be sure that she would tell Schiffhead and the first message out of his office would have ended up in Syria…. Ha not that he would send it or so he would claim…
Al Baghdadi was Obama’s puppet – Susan Rice was extremely upset that Obama wasn’t told. It looks like Obama’s people have been removed from at least this operation.
Yes, because it was successful….
In my opinion Adam Schiff is nothing more that a first class village idiot. I am glad that our beloved President DID NOT advise him or Pelosi before the raid as I am sure it would have been leaked.
Thank you
So you want our government run by a no nothing corrupt president?
No. That’s why I don’t want a low life democrat getting near the Whitehouse. The dems are nothing but corrupt, leaving scumbags. MAGA 2020!
Supposedly Obozo made the statement that he thought Baghdadi was a great and kind man and a true friend. This guy had no problem having people killed. He had no problem in showing these people’s executions filmed and put on the internet. What kind of person is Obozo?
It’s a real good thing that SCHIFF was not notified of the raid, because he and his groups are the “LEAKERS IN CHIEF” , especially since they have the FAKE NEWS MEDIA to help them “give leaks everywhere and anywhere”….they are about as trustworthy as the Target of this raid!
Stop with the whining and criticizing of OUR PRESIDENT.. HE AND THE MILITARY ACCOMPLISHED A GOAL.. it is justice served.. all the other noise being generated by the dems.. is just BS.
Schiff is a disgrace to America! He lies and the media protects him. If he had been told of the raid the enemy would surely have been told by this worthless piece of dung!
The Party of leakers and Whistleblowers wants to be informed when matters of National Security are involved. Gee, what could possibly go wrong. Especially if Obama found out. Remember he and Hillary created ISIS in the first place. He spent millions of dollars dropping bombs on nothing so he could appear to be doing something while they grew stronger.
Schiff for Brains was told. Just after the fact. He’s just upset because he wasn’t able to rush to a microphone and camera and announce the plans in hopes of thwarting the operation to hurt Trump.
Schiff would have wanted the terriorists’ phone number along with the alert.
How’s it feel, Scumbag, to know what the American citizens think of your stupid azz…ALL you Democrat azzes?
“…Yes…You have pictures of the President in the nude? We’ll be in contact to get further information…”
Give us a break, Schiffty Schiff
Did you ever manage to get those photos of our President from those two SCHIFFTY Russians?
You’ve GOT to be the laughing stock of America!
Telling scumbags like the gang of eight would be like telling the enemy we are comming and at what time ! Gang of eight = Leakers Incorporated !
Oh, shut up!
How’s it feel craphead, having things done in secret…You deserve NOT to be told crap. You’re one big fool.
Just be glad that I didn’t have in my mind to say but I’ll be the bigger man here. Just sffice it to say that I don’t think much of your lying azz.
The ONLY way something could have gone wrong is if your lying azz had something to do with it…
IDIOT
their just pi$$ed because they didn’t have time to worn baghdadi , like oboma use to do , and trump was right pelosi and shummer and shiff just can’t keep their mouths shut , it would have bin on every news station and the mission would have failed
You folks lose sight of the fact that Schiff’s statement was not whining but a firm compliment to Trump(your idiot) for doing something right and commenting that as a fail safe Trump wouldn’t have suffered for telling congress
Learn to quit lying and leaking and maybe then you will be let in on what is going on in government. Wait oh no you won’t. You burned your bridges.
Keep whining low life bastard you deserve that and more for been a dirty liying dog.
Our President Donald Trump deserves two Noble Peace Prices, one for defeating the Democrats at every corner and the other for all the world peace he is causing along with making America respected again in the world. Just think about what he could have accomplished had the Democrats been Americans and worked with him.
Conan the dog needs to be presented the Silver Star and a promotion to Sgt. Then he can help train the other “younger” dogs on what to do. After a few more years and another promotion to “Top” he can retire and have a whole litter of little pups he can share his story with. These pups will grow up and continue to do Dads’ work by getting the bad guy and saving their human companions life.
I could say that along the way those pups may even get a chance to chew up a few Dems but I would not want to wish that on a great dog for they would probably NEVER get the awful disgusting taste out of their mouths and that would be really bad.
What we have now is the Nation almost being run by two tax happy California kooks , Pelosi & Schiff, To the mix , you can add two disgusting New York Jews , Schumer & Nadler. What will we end up with ? read Das Kapitals.
Thank GOD they used common sense and did not inform leakers. Keep up the good work. I know Trump will.
Why the hell would POTUS tell those aholes anythingg. Schiff or Pelosi would have leaked it before they left his office. Are those left wing Socialistb scumbags notifiying the Conservatives about their double dare ya secret meeting to impeach POTUS? Screw the left all of them. Trump let the SELS loose and they did their job as usual.. God bless POTUS , the SEALS and thatpoor dg that got injured.
Of all people shifty pencil head & nervous nancy should be trusted ???? give me a break we’ll send you a crying towel.
