1. @MSNBC @KellyO says @WhiteHouse changes #Soleimani cover story. In Toledo & at Fox Trump comes up with "#4Embassies" story. IMO there's a problem with that.

@StateDeptDSS know if they were given warnings. No warning proves Trump lied or @POTUS has #MotherofallBenghazis.

2. Why lie? I took a 3 credit class law school class on US DOJ rules on drone strikes. We are likely watching Trump Pompeo homicide coverup evolve. Pompeo was likely "senior government official" who made final call. I can post the DOJ white paper that

3. focused on drone strikes on US citizens but acknowledges procedures are same.

Failure to change EO 12,333 made the shoot questionable from a US official immunity perspective. Homicide is a usually a crime. If you use power of the State to kill you have to follow the law.

4. After my drone law class I saw film staring Helen Mirren "Eye in the Sky" follow the drone-strike check-list in a few scenes. Plug into that deliberative process a @WhiteHouse only trying to accomplish politically motivated PR stunt with no forethought & add EO12,333 problem.

5. I think three innocent #Iraqis may have died. Who will speak for them?

Coverups burn up our IC who are pressured to lie. Stop it now. @FBIWFO @DOD_IG need to interview @SecPompeo @EsperDoD and Milley. Get the facts.

6. No American will mourn for #Soleimani but what about the three Iraqis? If they were terrorists why aren't they identified?

This was a cl*sterf*ck and has to be properly investigated.. Iran came clean. Now it's our turn.

7. US goal should be peace and protecting us from terrorists. If we have to leave Iraq and Syria this was a strategic defeat for the US likely to bring more war. The @SenateGOP can consider that in whether to remove @POTUS. @SenateDems
