Well now, this is interesting.

Gang of Eight (intelligence)

The Gang of Eight is a colloquial term for a set of eight leaders within the United States Congress who are briefed on classified intelligence matters by the executive branch. Specifically, the Gang of Eight includes the leaders of each of the two parties from both the Senate and House of Representatives, and the chairs and ranking minority members of both the Senate Committee and House Committee for intelligence as set forth by 50 U.S.C. § 3093(c)(2).

Under normal conditions, the President of the United States is required by Title 50 U.S.C. § 3091(a)(1) to "ensure that the congressional intelligence committees are kept fully and currently informed of the intelligence activities of the United States, including any significant anticipated intelligence activity as required by [the] title." However, under "extraordinary circumstances", when the President thinks "it is essential to limit access" to information about a covert action, 50 U.S.C. § 3093(c)(2) allows the President to limit reporting to the Gang of Eight.

The individuals are sworn to secrecy and there is no vote process.[not verified in body] For a possible origin of the term "Gang of Eight" see Gang of Four.

So, since we know there are some leakers in the gang of eight (cough shitty schiff cough), I find this part, "…However, under "extraordinary circumstances", when the President thinks "it is essential to limit access" to information about a covert action, 50 U.S.C. § 3093(c)(2) allows the President to limit reporting to the Gang of Eight" interesting.

Then we have this:

White House Notifies Congress of Soleimani Strike Under War Powers Act

Lawmakers expected the document to publicly lay out the White House’s legal justification for the strike on Soleimani, Iran’s top security commander, who officials have said has been behind hundreds of American deaths over the years. But the notification first sent to Congress late Saturday afternoon contained only classified information, according to a senior congressional aide, likely detailing the intelligence that led to the action. It is unclear whether the White House will send a separate, unclassified document.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a statement Saturday evening that the notification “raises more questions than it answers,” including “serious and urgent questions about the timing, manner and justification of the administration’s decision to engage in hostilities against Iran.”

“The highly unusual decision to classify this document in its entirety compounds our many concerns, and suggests that the Congress and the American people are being left in the dark about our national security,” Pelosi said.

So I suspect Nancy Pelecanosi, cryin' Chucky and their cohorts are pissed that they didn't get information that they could use to warn the Iranian target.

The reason I think this is significant is because the swamp is being drained, the cabals ability to see and gather intel is being severely curtailed. They are being blinded because assets long in place have been, and are still being removed, as well as their comms being extremely limited these days. Pelosi is screaming because they probably were counting on certain members of the gang of eight to keep them informed as to what the president is up to and were caught flatfooted on this one.
