Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) exited the Briefing by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and CIA Director John Ratcliff with an unusually serious, perhaps even stern, look on his face.
Then, to everyone's shock, Schumer said only "This is serious, and the Administration has to make its case to the American people." then walked away. In front of TV News cameras, he's never this short and sweet/quiet.
Rubio and Ratcliff briefed "the Gang of Eight" on the Iran situation. "Gang of eight" is a euphemism for the top leadership of the US House of Representatives, and the US Senate. By law, they are the ones who get briefed on matters of serious national security issues - and potential military action.
Because such information is Classified, none of them can even HINT at what they were told.
President Trump will address a Joint Session of Congress in the US Capital, tonight at 9:00 PM eastern time. The address will air live on mass-media outlets.
For most folks, tuning in to the Hal Turner Radio Show which also begins at that time, will be far more informative.
