Vice President Mike Pence on Sunday refused to say why President Donald Trump broke tradition by not notifying select congressional leaders — known as the Gang of Eight — about a raid that allegedly killed ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

During a Sunday interview with Pence, Wallace noted that Trump admitted that he had not told Democratic congressional leaders about the raid.

“The implication seeming to be that he was worried that Pelosi or members of Congress would leak this,” Wallace explained. “Does the president not trust the Speaker of the House with sensitive national security information?”

“I don’t think that was the implication at all,” Pence said. “I think from the time that we got actionable intelligence, the president’s total focus here was on a successful mission and the safety of American troops.”

“Why didn’t he tell Nancy Pelosi?” Wallace pressed.

1. "The president's total focus was on the 16th hole."

I wonder when he was even informed that the raid was happening-- when he got done with his golf round?

2. His total focus was on finding a distraction and changing the subject

from impeachment.

3. Yet Fat Donnie notified Lindsay Graham, who is on the judiciary committee.

WTF?
