Trump Told Mar-a-Lago Pals to Expect ‘Big’ Iran Action ‘Soon’:
In the five days prior to launching a strike that killed Iran’s most important military leader, Donald Trump roamed the halls of Mar-a-Lago, his private resort in Florida, and started dropping hints to close associates and club-goers that something huge was coming.
According to three people who’ve been at the president’s Palm Beach club over the past several days, Trump began telling friends and allies hanging at his perennial vacation getaway that he was working on a “big” response to the Iranian regime that they would be hearing or reading about very “soon.” His comments went beyond the New Year’s Eve tweet he sent out warning of the “big price” Iran would pay for damage to U.S. facilities. Two of these sources tell The Daily Beast that the president specifically mentioned he’d been in close contact with his top national security and military advisers on gaming out options for an aggressive action that could quickly materialize.
“He kept saying, ‘You’ll see,’” one of the sources recalled, describing a conversation with Trump days before Thursday’s strike.
You're a complete lunatic. You're just asserting that the top congresspeople who have been getting classified briefings for years, would randomly just go out and break the law by leaking a key state secret. And basic on nothing except your own lack of braincells.

In fact, the Constitution gives the President of the United States the authority to use military action without informing Congress and without formally declaring war. Just because the Democrats call it "an act of war" because one of their terrorist buddies was taken out doesn't make it so.

As for "top congresspeople" releasing classified information... One of the leading Democrats in the Senate, Patrick Leahy, has long been known as "Leaky Leahy" because of his habit of doing just that. In 1987 he leaked the Reagan administration's operational plans to topple Muammar Gaddafi to the MSM which forced the cancelling of the operation. His leaking got so bad that eventually he was forced to step down from the Senate Intelligence Committee where he was the top Democrat.
And then of course there is Adam Schiff who regularly released information deemed classified in his attempt to get Trump.
Further, it isn't always the elected official but someone on their staff. Sort of like what we saw during the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings which resulted in two Democrat Senate staffers being convicted of leaking information with one, Jackson Cosko[1], being sentenced to four years behind bars.
1. Not sure exactly who he was working for at the time but he's been a senior staffer for Senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer as well as Sheila Jackson Lee, a member of the House Judiciary Committee.

Also Starlight: “You can totally trust a brutal, authoritarian government, that murdered thousands of their own people, protesting their government, lied about it, and attempted to cover it up that millions attended a dead terrorist funeral!”
