I see this as some democrats being unhappy with the imminence. I've seen one democrat say the briefing left them unable to determine if it was imminent. Perhaps you could point out the others.






FYI, I didnt say the gop said there was no imminent danger. I said from Republicans (plural, meaning more than one) it sounds like there wasnt a current threat. As in, more than one Republican has indicated by the information provided that there was not an immediate threat.


Which matters in this time of hyper partisanship. If Republicans (individuals, not the party as whole) are questioning the action, then maybe it's... Not entirely a partisan issue. Maybe a couple guys are doing their job. 


I did not say the gop (as in the party) said there was no immediate danger.


You can fake news all day. You've still got a minority of Trump's party and a majority of not Trump's party unsatisfied with the legitimacy of the action. Which just leads to more questions on whether there was any imminent threat or if this was an abuse of authority.
