President Donald Trump and his team were in contact with top congressional Republicans before his strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, but top Democrats were not told of his plans until after the bombs had dropped, according to multiple people familiar with the plans.

The top two Republicans in Congress, House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, were both notified of the US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities ahead of time, according to multiple GOP sources.


But Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries received notifications shortly before the public announcement — and after the attack itself, people familiar with the notifications said. Sen. Mark Warner and Rep. Jim Himes, the top Democrats on the Senate and House intelligence committees, were similarly not told until after the strikes had occurred, sources said.

For the life of me, I can't imagine why Trump didn't tell the Dem leaders before the strike. It's almost like he doesn't trust them to put their country ahead of betraying it for cheap political gain. Weird, huh?...

They were put all back of the bus.

The remarkable thing about this entire operation is that there were no leaks. By not informing the Democrats they ensured that the opeation would remain classified and leak free.

Democrats would have leaked it to the media.

For sure. The Democrats and the media are on the side of the Islamic Terror Regime.

AOC, furious Dems call for Trump to be impeached over Iran strikes​

Progressive Squad Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and a chorus of Democrats called on President Trump to be impeached after he decided to bomb top nuclear facilities of Iran — blasting the move as “unconstitutional.”

“The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers,” Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) declared not long after Trump announced the attack.

“He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

Democrats have earned the distrust they receive. Their willingness to take sides with our enemies is unprecedented by a minority party. They need to be kept in the dark to prevent the damage they are perfectly willing to do to our country.

The top Democrats don't have security clearances, and couldn't be expected not to share the details with their Iranian friends and benefactors.

Sad to say their election gives them security clearances but POTUS does not have to let them in on anything.....Sorta like Truman did not know of the Manhattan Project till FDR died.

Yes. ITs a 'need to know' issue and clearly, if we need to keep operational secrets, the Democrats have no need to know.

Trump administration briefed top Republicans before Iran strikes, but not Democrats​

And what do you know -- nothing about the attack was leaked.

Mission accomplished.

 

[Mac-7]

For the life of me, I can't imagine why Trump didn't tell the Dem leaders before the strike.

So that they could not warn Iran

 

[1srelluc]

And Trump fed them "dis-information" to boot!

"2 weeks", LOL, they must have thought that they were in the covid era. Talk about a bunch of rubes.

Read Article II, toots.
The President does not need to get permission from Congress for a mostly peaceful flyover.
