With the Sec Def’s concession that he didn’t see any specific evidence of an imminent threat that made killing Soleimani an act of self-defense, it’s increasingly looking like summary execution without trial just to keep this president in office. Another gross abuse of power.
Yet that's not all. The SD also said that no evidence came to him (and he gets the daily intel briefing) that four embassies were being targeted. He added, "But I trust President Trump".
So whatever went on, Trump lied about it all. Who'd have thought he would do such a thing as lie.
Likewise, in the briefing the WH gave to Congress...
Quote:When Tapper asked [Republican Sen. Mike} Lee whether Trump’s claim that there was a threat against four U.S. embassies was brought up during last week’s briefing, Lee said he “didn’t hear anything about that” and that “several of my colleagues have said the same.”
