Shithound s trying to have an Obama moment as I type.

[malaise]

5. He just admitted that he broke the law and did not inform Adam Schiff

One more ground for impeachment

[spanone]

6. Claimed they would have leaked it.

[dhol82]

8. To the Russians?

Boggles the mind.

[AncientGeezer]

21. No Law says the trumpanzee has to inform Chairman Shiff..there isn't

[Pachamama]

3. Did the GOP members get informed?

[malaise]

4. Don't know

[Kentonio]

18. Yup

Also Graham, who isn’t even on the intelligence committees.

[SMC22307]

19. I read that it's not required but he did inform Senators Burr (NC) and Graham (SC).

So much info flying around... who knows.

[Takket]

7. What law is that?

Just curious as I honestly don’t know.

[Kaleva]

9. The War Powers Act requires the presdient to inform Congress within 48 hrs after the fact

[Python boot]

10. AUMF?

I had to look up AUMF authority to use military force after 9/11 and according to wiki it is still in effect and the Orange vulgarian is of course trying to make it apply all situations.

[malaise]

11. Sadly Congress ceded way too many powers to the Executive

but even under that Congress has to be informed

[Scarsdale]

12. I wonder if tRump

was only informed AFTER the raid?

[malaise]

13. That would explain the golf time

and theposed picture - no one was watching anything

[Skittles]

22. probable

seriously, who would tip off Trump, who CANNOT just shut the fuck up

[AncientGeezer]

15. They were....but there is NO law that says they have to be ...

informed Prior to the action.

[AncientGeezer]

14. No Law requires that.....just isn't

[Turin_C3PO]

16. But it's custom to inform them.

He’s just an asshole.

[AncientGeezer]

20. Absolutely an a'hole....but no law to inform....anyone.

I wouldn't want President Obama to tell anyone if he thought there may be a leak...I don't think he would. I'm sure he didn't.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

17. raid? every reporter needs to ask, "Can you prove that?"

Can't believe a word Cowardly Donald says.

[Blue_true]

23. Not defending Trump. But did the military have enough confidence that he would not tweet

the raid ahead of time to let him know?

He could have been told after the fact, like our aircraft sneaked up under the russian's noses and killed the terrorist. Then he jumps to take credit and make Russia look like it knew and helped out.

He has already put up a fake Situation Room photo, no level of depravity is past him.

Facts will keep slipping out in time. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the military told Trump a lie to do the raid.
