1, There is a major misconception about the nature of the US force in Syria. @hardball Chris Mathews just had guest on who are clueless. The force there are about 2,000 combined special operations forces with a few @USMC M7777 crews. There are logistics and training forces.

2. By my estimate #SDF have lost over 5,000 dead in the war against ISIS. I recall one or two @USSOCOM operators killed in a what I believe was a Turkish MIT infiltrator attack south of Manbij. We feel for the loss but 5,000 to 2? @Trump thinks we should surrender for 2 letters.

3. This is a commercial driven deal by the @Trump family to protect their dirty Istanbul tower cash cow. It is an act of betrayal that Mattis could no longer stomach but it was also likely bribery. @FBIWFO and @NewYorkStateAG should obtain all Trump bank records. Look for

4. a diverted payment on a Trump loan that is held off shore. This boy is very dirty and very experienced but like Madoff he can only trust a small group and things will get messy as they all flip. There is very little chance that this fight in Syria will not now get hot.

5. I want to remind every @USSOCOM family that @Trump has no immunity for the corrupt Istanbul deal & under 18 USC 2333 you can sue him and his kids if anything happens to your loved ones and get treble damages and attorneys fees. Make the treasonous @realDonaldTrump family howl.

6. These are the Trump family business partners. They the Enemy & will kill Americans, then dance on the graves. @Trump is on their side not our side. Mattis couldn't take it and resigned. We have a 100 days to get the proof on Trump and his corrupt family and lock them all up.
