You know the system. Ambassador, military and intelligence officers in Kabul would know. Allies would know. Secretary of State would know. National Security Advisor would know. Intelligence would immediately be sent to the NSC and all relevant officials. This is BS.

lets see how long before he acknowledges it and lets see what he does.

He's got no excuse now.

Let them explain WHY Trump was not briefed or if he is lying and was in fact briefed.

And if Trump blocks them from testifying, I want impeachment articles by the next morning. Make the GOP defend this.

But, what I want doesn't happen very often anymore.
