He called Russia in advance about Baghdadi but NOT Pelosi or House Intel Committee Chairman Schiff

What kind of American President thanks Russia before he thanks his own Special Forces?

Trump also noted that he had called Russia in advance to let them know U.S. forces were coming in to do something “they would like.”



Trump didn’t give Pelosi advance word, indicating he didn’t trust her to keep intel secrets

Pelosi was ranking Dem on Intel Committee. no evidence in her record raising doubts her handling of sensitive information

Trump gave top Russian officials classified info in Oval Office


In response, Russian defence ministry says it doubts whether the operation to kill al-Baghdadi even took place, there were no such strikes in Idlib "de-escalation zone" yesterday and it knows nothing about Russia cooperating with an American fly-over...

A lot of emphasis on Russia’s role through out Trump’s description of the al-Baghdadi mission. Trump thanked Russia first. Went on to say “Russia was great, Russia let us fly through space. Russia hates ISIS as much as us.”

There are simply too many unbelievable bits.... probably outright Trump lies. Like coordinating with Russians when the Russians deny knowing anything about it. Or the fact that there's no way Baghdadi could have run into a cave - he's crippled. What else is Trump lying about?
