Amid GOP pushback, Pence says sharing intel with Congress could 'compromise' sources

Vice President Mike Pence responded Thursday to lawmakers, including Republicans, who lamented the lack of information shared by the Trump administration during classified congressional briefings on the killing of top Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani, saying the intelligence was too sensitive to share.

Speaking with NBC's "TODAY," Pence told Savannah Guthrie that they could not share with Congress some of the "most compelling" intelligence behind the administration's decision to kill Soleimani because doing so "could compromise sources and methods."

Pence added that "those of us" who were made aware of the intelligence "in real time know President Trump made the right decision." He added that Soleimani "was planning imminent attacks against American forces."

In killing Soleimani, leader of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the Trump administration said it launched the attack because of intelligence that showed Soleimani was planning "imminent" attacks on U.S. personnel. But the administration has yet to make public the evidence behind that assertion and, according to Democratic and two Republican senators, did not detail that intelligence within a classified setting on Wednesday.

"Besides how are we going to hurry the rapture along if we have Congress meddling?" Mike Pence.

3. "Trust us" says the administration of more than 15,000 documented lies

How did we all get so mistrustful of Donald J. Trump? It's sad, that's what it is, eh Mike?

4. Or compromise the fact of a LACK of sources.

Since the whole justification was pulled out of someone's ass, there really are no sources.
