A high-level Gang of Eight meeting just hours before the State of the Union.

Gang of Eight, for the uninitiated, is leadership and top lawmakers on intel.

Speaker Mike Johnson
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries
Senate Majority Leader John Thune
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
Rep. Rick Crawford (R-Ark.)
Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.)
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.)
Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.)


Interesting timing. Iran coming very soon or could it be something he intends to address during his speech?

Something tells me anything these 8 people are told will be the exact opposite of what is to come.

Was thinking earlier, I wonder if the initial strike takes place during the speech... No way Iran would be expecting that.

"And while I am here addressing our nation, the proud members of our military are strategically striking Iranian targets"

Them holding a briefing like this before a SOTU is rare according to Grok. It would seem to indicate something is imminent. I was wondering if they might launch their attack immediately following the address while the Democrats are trying to give their rebuttal.

If it's something he intends to disclose during his speech that is considered a matter of national security he is required by law to notify these people. If the information is classified.

Those worthless turds should all be given unique, traceable copies of the SOTU to see which of them leaks it first.

He isn't going to tell those frick Sticks anything tactical in the operation.

He will tell them the fricking league minimum that's required is true point.

Right. But I do believe he would be required by law to notify these people that an attack is about to happen. Not necessarily any details of it.

I wonder if any word will trickle out between now and then. It'll be interesting to keep an eye on.

I remember when there were read in press people back in the 80s.

The Reagan admin read them in and swore them to secrecy on a military operation

It was a fake and nearly everyone of the security clearances frickers leaked the operation.

These fricks on the gang if stupid are no better.

I'm sure that was probably the last time that shite ever happened.

It certainly wouldn't happen today.

Yes it would be.
