Several news reports indicated Sunday that House Intelligence Committee chair Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) had not been notified in advance about the successful raid on the hideout of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the so-called “Islamic State,” or ISIS.
Al-Baghdadi was killed in the raid; there were no U.S. casualties aside from a wounded K-9 dog.
CNN and MSNBC bother reported that Schiff had been left in the dark.
President Trump confirmed in remarks to the press Sunday after his address to the nation that he had deliberately kept some congressional leaders out of the loop, without naming Schiff directly.
“We notified some; others are being notified as I speak,” Trump said.
“We were going to notify them last night but we decided not to do that because Washington leaks like I’ve never seen before,” Trump said. “There is no country in the world that leaks like we do and Washington is a leaking machine.”
Trump said that U.S. forces would have been placed in greater danger due to leaks in Washington tipping off the terrorists.

That is what happens when you are a traitor to your own country
Good, schiff is a traitor to the United States
Agree...
Our President did the right thing.
Why does Schiff still have any type of security clearance. He has proven he is not reliable.
He should get an award for the goofiest looking of 'em all!
Shifty and crew would have warned Al-Baghdadi that the raid was coming. Just like they do in sanctuary cities.
That guy leaks more than the oil pan on my truck!
Shift briefed? Best joke of the day. Never, ever would that ever happen.
he looks like a bobble head doll!
YUP
HEY Trump send the FBI to arrest him at 3 am ?
Agree with 10:47. He is definitely one goofy looking S.O.B.
He's going to jail as well. Soooo many people are going to roll over on this POS.
