The Department of Justice released the unredacted transcript of
President Trump's phone conversation with Ukranian President Volodymyr
Zelenksy back in September,
after Democrats on Capitol Hill announced an impeachment inquiry into
the matter.
The transcript does not show that President Trump made a
quid pro quo to the Ukrainian president as a whistleblower complaint has
alleged.
President Trump has apparently grown frustrated with
the media and House Democrats who refuse to accept the transcript's
version of what took place during Trump's phone call with President
Zelensky. In an interview with the Washington Examiner, Trump said he plans on reading the transcript directly to the American people.

Craig
Andresen and Diane Sori discuss their Special Report: The Takedown of al-Baghdadi, including 'Dead By Rightful Design' and 'He Died Like a Dog'; along with important news of the
day.
Everything Trump's defenders feared about the whistleblower is true. According to a report from RealClear Investigations, the whistleblower is 33-year-old Eric Ciaramella.
Ciaramella
is a holdover from the Obama administration and a registered Democrat.
He's been accused of leaking like crazy. He worked with Joe Biden, he's a
vocal critic of President Trump, and he invited a DNC operative inside
the White House to attend meetings. He also helped instigate the
investigation into Russia collusion. So, of course, Democrats would
believe his second-hand complaint about President Trump's phone
conversation with Ukranian President Zelensky over the actual transcript of the call itself.

"Last night was a
great night for the United States and for the world. A brutal killer,
one who has caused so much hardship and death, has violently been
eliminated.”
- President Donald Trump
on the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
There were no U.S.
casualties during the compound raid, with but a military working dog
named Conan sustaining minor injuries when Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, also known as
Caliph Ibrahim, blew himself and his three young children
up...children he had been using as human shields...in a true act of
cowardliness after realizing his fate had been sealed...sealed thanks
to President Trump.
It was an operation
five months in the making...an operation involving joint ground intel
as well as ongoing monitoring which culminated in a daring, two-hour
nighttime raid on al-Baghdadi's compound. Located in Idlib province's
Barisha hamlet, this particular hamlet and compound had been under
our surveillance for some time due to its being in what was left of
ISIS held territory in northern Syria.
And so the actual
lead-up to al-Baghdidi's death started around 5p.m. EST last Saturday
evening when after having finished rehearsing the raid in Erbil,
Iraq, eight helicopters carrying teams of elite U.S. troops included
Delta Force commandos, launched from al-Assad airbase in Anbar province Iraq and flew over what President Trump called
"very, very dangerous territory" towards
the compound where“al-Baghdadi
spent his last moments in utter fear, in total panic and dread,
terrified of the American forces bearing down on him.”Finally meeting his demise in what was a dead end tunnel...Abu Bakr al-Baghadadi detonated
his suicide vest and blew himself and his three children straight
into hell.
And know that al-Baghdidi
is indeed dead contrary to what the naysayers are now saying as DNA
tests done about 15 minutes after his “very messy demise” positively confirmed that that the dead man indeed was ISIS founder
and Iraqi national Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. In fact, U.S. teams on the
ground as per President Trump, "brought body parts back"
so there could be no questions as to who was killed, unlike Barack
HUSSEIN Obama who had our military, “respectfully” dump
Osama bin Laden's body into the sea. More like destroying the
evidence I'd say.
And while our president's critics are now chiming in with condemnation regarding his actions
taken...you can read about that in my RIGHT SIDE PATRIOTS partner
Craig Andresen's article, He Died Like a Dog...also know that President
Trump tentatively approved the final mission about a week before it commenced.
Rightfully keeping the mission a secret, Trump
knew that to do otherwise would see a number of Democrats “letting
slip” certain key bits of
information, thus jeopardizing not only the mission to take out the
world's most wanted man, but would also put those involved in said mission in serious
danger.
In fact, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo agreed with
President Trump's decision to keep the mission for the most part mum
saying that “there were only a handful of us that were dialed
into this operation, myself and a handful of others, and then those,
of course, who were executing the mission, in the run-up to this.”
Also according to Pompeo those involved in the operation had two
priorities, ensuring information security and executing the
mission...and I believe this is exactly how all critical operations
should be handled...as in the less who know the better.
“We’ve been tracking this guy for a long time,
we wanted to take no risk that anyone would ever compromise the
operation, so we were very focused on information security...and we
wanted to make sure we were doing it right, and so we were focused on
delivering the outcome that we got,” were Mike Pompeo exact
words.
And so successful was our president and those few who
knew in keeping this operation a secret that only now has it become
known that two or three previously planned missions were scrapped
until every last detail for success was locked into place.
But while it was our U.S. forces alone who
actually went in and accomplished what they were tasked with
doing... a task that also saw at least nine members of ISIS killed in
addition to al-Baghdadi with many of them being his family
members...the mission itself was still a joint operation of sorts...a
chain of both information and cooperation...with trusted Iraqi
officials, Vladimir Putin, as well as the Kurds living in
Syria's northeast quadrant...being given a heads-up as to what was
going to take place. Even Turkey was given a cursory heads-up no matter that they deem the
YPG Kurds to be terrorists, for it was those very YPG Kurds who also saw
the danger ISIS posed not only to the region in general, but to their all important quest for
an autonomous state, thus solidifying their cooperation.
In fact, it was the commander-in-chief of the
Kurdish forces in Syria, one Mazloum Abdi, who admitted in a tweet
after the operation was completed that the intelligence gathering
that led to al-Baghdai's death had indeed began in earnest about five
months ago...thus proving to Trump's critics that this was no
impulsive move on our president's part. And Commander Abdi also
announced within hours of al-Baghdadi's death that U.S. backed
anti-ISIS forces remaining in northern Syria had also taken out Abu
Hassan al-Muhajir, a close associate of al-Baghdadi, and that they
did so courtesy of SDF intel shared with our military.
And then just this past Monday, Commander Abdi told NBC News that another of his SDF informants actually helped lead the Americans
to al-Baghdadi’s compound. Adding that the still unnamed informant had gained al-Baghdadi's trust to such a degree that he was a "facilitator and logistics aide" involved in helping
al-Baghdadi move from numerous safe houses in Idlib province before settling into the compound where he met his end, and also that the informant provided personal details about al-Baghdadi, including the fact that he always wore a suicide vest when traveling so that he could blow himself up if cornered.
And as I write this neither the Pentagon nor the White House has
officially commented on a "high-level mole" being part of the
mission to kill or capture al-Baghdadi. And yet that is not out of the whelm of possibilities as "moles" have at times been an integral part of such types of operations.
But to me what is most critical to this mission's success was
the fact that Russia..who controls the much needed airspace over
Idlib province...made no attempt to stop said mission as
Putin...remember he had been informed of the mission and his country
is part of the U.S. led coalition against terror...knew that not only
is ISIS a destabilizing force in the region, but that they are an
enemy of all civilized men.
And so at around 3:30am Syrian time after the mission
was successfully completed... including our gathering up of ISIS intel and documents laying out their future plans...U.S. choppers took off for the return
journey to Erbil, Iraq, flying unchallenged over the so-called
“badlands of Syria,” briefly crossing into Turkey, then
into northeastern Syria, continuing on to the Kurdish held north of
Iraq, the very place where the long hunt for Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi had
really begun. After all it was in Camp Bucca where al-Baghdadi was
reportedly held back as late as 2009, only to be “unconditionally” released to the Iraqi's who in time let him go...and so began al-Baghdadi's unrelenting killing spree.
And so the seedlings of what became ISIS...seedlings
that were actually planted in Iraq back in 2009...grew to where on
June 29, 2014, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi proclaimed that a "caliphate"
was now straddling both Syria and Iraq and that it was under ISIS
control.
But the question still remaining is what exactly allowed what became “Operation Kayla Mueller”...named in
honor of the young American aid worker who was kidnapped, tortured, and
then killed on al-Baghdadi's orders...to go forward? The fact is
that up until a little over a month ago we still had little if any serious
leads as to al-Baghdadi's current whereabouts. But a much needed
break finally came in September courtesy of Iraqi National
Intelligence Service officials who were able to identify a Syrian man
who had recently moved his own family from Iraq to Syria as being the
same man who had smuggled into Syria's Idlib province through Turkey
the wives of two of al-Baghdadi’s brothers. In fact, it was also
learned that this very same smuggler had previously helped smuggle
al-Baghdadi’s children from Iraq into Syria, again through Turkey.
And luckily these same Iraqi officials were then able to “bribe,”
if you will, the smuggler and his wife, along with one of
al-Baghdadi’s own nephews, into providing information about the
route al-Baghdadi had used along with the final destination of those
traveling with him.
And in early October, the Iraqi's turned over
their now confirmed intel to the C.I.A. who then in turn were able
to locate al-Baghdadi, with the Iraqis continuing to provide updated
real-time information to President Trump once al-Baghdadi had settled
into the Barisha compound. And so the man who was always on the move
out of fear for his own safety was now back in Syria where he had
been very many times before.
And here I'll include as a side note that
back in 2013, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was indeed in Syria masquerading as one
of the “supposed” Syrian rebels, and it was here in Aleppo
that it appears he met with Sen. John McCain as can be witnessed by these
photos. It would have been interesting to know exactly what, if
anything, transpired between these two men or if McCain had any idea
of who Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi really was or of what evils he soon would
become capable of.
But with that being but an interesting yet mute
point, the fact remains that once the Iraqi's shared said intel with
President Trump...who had made taking down al-Baghdadi one of his top
priorities...he was then able to order military commanders to begin
drawing up specific plans for al-Baghdadi's take-down. And while the
actual decision to move forward...to begin “Operation Kayla
Mueller”...was not officially finalized until Saturday morning
after his having received “actionable intelligence” that
al-Baghdadi was indeed in the Barisha compound, did members of the
Joint Special Operations Command Delta Force Team carry out the
high-level and still then secret operation.
"Something very big has just happened!" was President Trump's tweet after
Saturday night's successful completion of “Operation Kayla
Mueller” had taken place.
And so the annals of history will now show that
America once again stood strong and proud under the leadership of
President Donald J. Trump as we were the ones who took out one of the
baddest of all bad guys. And while this one chapter regarding ISIS is
now closed, the ISIS book in regards to Syria itself still has for us
at least two chapters remaining open. One chapter concerns our troops
still being stationed in eastern Syria to not only protect the oil
fields that are under our control, but to keep the oil out of
the hands of a possible and highly likely ISIS tried resurgence...an
expected resurgence to avenge al-Baghdadi's death.
And while neither
Syrian nor Russian forces have to date challenged our control of
those oil fields, it should be noted that another still open chapter
sees us keeping a small number of troops at the Tanf garrison near
the Syria-Iraq border what with American commandos housed at Tanf
still being tasked with training an anti-ISIS force separate from the
joint SDF mission.
“The death of
Baghdadi is an important moment in our fight against terror but the
battle against the evil of Daesh [Isis] is not yet over.”
- British Prime Minister
Boris Johnson on hearing of al-Baghdadi's death.
So while ISIS in Syria might seem to be no longer a threat, all parties
involved should still be wary for ISIS has well prepared for such an
occasion as their founder and leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's death. Remember, the deadly
rattlesnake can bite even after its head has been cut off, and know
that ISIS can too even without its titular head.
