At the House briefing on the US drone strike in Iraq that killed Iran's Qasem Soleimani, Democrats got into a back-and-forth with the Trump administration over the legal authorities for attacking Iran and the imminent nature of Soleimani’s threat to the US, per sources present

Rep. Adam Smith, chairman of the House Armed Services, pressed the officials about the legal authorities, and the administration officials defended using the 2002 AUMF for military action against Iran, per multiple sources

@mkraju
Rep. Adam Schiff, chairman of House Intelligence, disputed the notion that it was an imminent threat, even noting that the Ayotallah Khamenei had not signed off on the planned attacks that Soleimani had been plotting, per sources present. (Schiff’s spokesman declined to comment.)

Admin gave general timeframe of when Soleimani’s attacks against US interests in Iraq and in region had been planned, per multiple sources in both parties. GOP argued it made sense to take out a top general now with the attack planned underway - rather than when it was too late.

@mkraju
Gina Haspel, at the briefing, detailed Soleimani's long history of violence against US interests.
Yet Democrats said the killing escalated the threat - and the administration failed to show that an imminent threat existed to justify the killing.

There was a story that claimed Trump has been a speed addict for a long time. I wonder if what happened last night scared him so much that he had to snort a mountain of crushed speed all morning.

This guys seems to know a lot about the Trumps. He says he worked with them on Celebrity Apprentice. He's been pretty accurate on a lot of things.

He was slurring some words. I was praying for a massive stroke to hit him right there.

I hope he keeps eating fast food.

Im waiting for his Teefers to fall out his dome first

That's the point. Iran is showing the U.S it has the capability to hit U.S bases accurately. They don't want War but showing us they can hit where they want.

from what I understand ballistic missiles are initially aimed and guided, but fall via gravity. So they are subject to atmospheric conditions on the way down and not pinpoint accurate. Also saw someone say that base is so large it has a bus system.

When you think about those two factors it puts this attack into more context

@ABC
NEW: Sen. Chuck Schumer after Trump administration's congressional briefing on Iranian actions: "There were so many important questions that they did not answer...As the questions began to get tough, they walked out." Iran fired between 20 and 24 missiles at US targets in Iraq: What we know about the attack
