#EO12333 is going to be all over the interwebs, and #Twidiots will be talking about @realdonaldtrump violated this #federallaw and should be #impeached for doing so.

Let's start at the finish:

You are wrong. Shut up. Sit down. Take notes. Learn.
Here is #EO12333, paragraph 2.11. You can see that, by its terms, it plainly prohibits engaging in or conspiring to engage in assassination.
A 1998 Legal Memorandum explains two circumstances in which targeted killings ARE NOT assassinations:
See the language?

It explains, "the clandestine, low visibility or overt use of military force against legitimate targets in time of war, or against similar targets in time of peace where such individuals or groups ...
... pose an immediate threat to United States citizens or the national security of the United States, as determined by competent authority, does not constitute assassination or conspiracy to
engage in assassination"
And, as it turns out, #QassemSuleimani, it is alleged by the Government of the United States, #posedanimmediatethreat to #UnitedStatescitizens or the #nationalsecurityoftheUnitedStates.
@Reuters knows this to be true.

Here's their report on what #QS was up to in #Iraq: reuters.com/article/us-ira…
