After Trump revoked the use of military aircraft to travel to Afghanistan, the delegation was prepared to fly commercially.

Deputy CoS to @SpeakerPelosi: "This morning, we learned that the [Trump] Administration had leaked the commercial travel plans as well."

After Trump grounded Pelosi's military transport to meet with troops on the front lines in Afghanistan & divulged her itinerary, White House officials leaked her commercial travel plans as well. So the trip is now off.

State Dept’s Diplomatic Security Service raised its threat assessment for the trip saying that Trump's letter divulging Pelosi's travel plans “significantly increased the danger to the delegation, troops, security, & officials supporting the trip.”

WaPo confirms that the White House leaked Pelosi's travel plans. "A person close to the White House called The Washington Post on Friday morning to alert a reporter to @SpeakerPelosi’s [commercial] travel plans."

The pack of reprehensible, racist boys in MAGA hats mocking an elder at Friday's #IndigenousPeoplesMarch on the National Mall are from Covington Catholic High School [859-491-2247] in KY [@senatemajldr]. Superintendent @supmikeclines was in DC with them.
Disgusting and heartbreaking.

Trump DID know about the counterintelligence investigation because Pompeo – who had taken a special interest in CIA's counterintel unit – told him, after which, Trump directed senior aides to launch a smear campaign on McCabe, Baker, etc...

MAY 2017: The FBI, so concerned about Trump's behavior, launched a counterintelligence investigation into whether he was knowingly working on Russia's behalf against the US.
Jun 2017: Trump ordered senior aides to launch a smear campaign directed at against FBI officials who could provide damning testimony against him in the Mueller probe: McCabe, Baker, Rybicki, Strzok, Page – who have all now left the FBI.

SCCOP: Trump directed Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about the Moscow Tower Project. Trump knew Cohen was speaking to Kremlin officials about the deal and even told Cohen to plan a Russia trip during the campaign so Trump could meet with Putin.

SCOOP: Cohen told Mueller that after the election, Trump PERSONALLY instructed him to lie to Congress by claiming the Moscow Tower negotiations ended months earlier than they actually did to obscure Trump’s involvement.

The United States Congress is a co-equal branch of government in our system of checks and balances. The Congress has a constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight in the war zone where our men and women in uniform are risking their lives every day.
After President Trump revoked the use of military aircraft to travel to Afghanistan, the delegation was prepared to fly commercially to proceed with this vital trip to meet with our commanders and troops on the front lines.
In the middle of the night, State Dept's Diplomatic Security Service provided an updated threat assessment detailing that the President announcing this sensitive travel had significantly increased danger to the delegation & to troops, security, & other officials supporting trip.

Judicial Watch exposed this 9 years ago -- Pelosi pushes for military transport as spouses travel for free.
@cspanwj Judicial Watch uncovers Pelosi's repeated request for Military Transport. She has repeatedly abused the system and resources.

@TomFitton scores again.
Thank you @JudicialWatch
@cspanwj @TomFitton @JudicialWatch @cspanwj #QAnon #MockingbirdMedia #PatriotsFight

Pelosi and members of her family and staff took 85 tax-paid trips on military aircraft between March 2, 2009, and June 7, 2010, according to new documents uncovered by Judicial Watch.

Trump cancels Nancy Pelosi's foreign trip citing shutdown by denying the use of military aircraft to Pelosi and her delegation. bbc.com/news/world-us-…
"I am sorry to inform you that your trip to Brussels has been postponed. We will reschedule this 7 day excursion when shutdown is over. In light of 800,000 great American workers not receiving pay. I'm sure you agree postponing this public relations event is totally appropriate"
"I also feel that it would be better if you were here in Washington negotiating with me. Obviously if you would like to make your journey by flying commercial, that would be entirely your prerogative"

POTUS tells ⁦@SpeakerPelosi⁩ he is canceling her trip to Belgium, Egypt and Afghanistan because of the shutdown
More precisely the president is not allowing @SpeakerPelosi and the congressional delegation to use US military aircraft to fly to Belgium (to meet with @NATO leaders) and to Afghanistan (to meet with servicemembers).
3/ A White House official told CNN that Pelosi and the delegation are welcome to fly *commercial* to Afghanistan. Which is a remarkable statement given that the WH just announced this trip to the world, a violation of all security protocols.

BREAKING: The White House has said that US President #Trump is canceling his upcoming South America trip to remain in the US "to oversee the American response to Syria." - @NBCNews
This sounds like the US is planning to strike #Syria and Trump will remain in the US to closely monitor responses by #Russia. This is terrible.
BREAKING - British forces are now mobilizing at their bases in #Cyprus for strikes against #Syria. It appears very likely that the US, France and U.K. will strike Syria in the next 24 hours. This is dreadful.
