I hope journalists will refuse to repeat these lies. You don't stop a war by assassinating a top official. NO ONE believes that this was authorized under the AUMF. The WH refuses to disclose the so-called imminent threat. Trump is a pathological liar. These claims are absurd. https://t.co/rGuwbvHPfr— Tommy Vietor (@TVietor08) January 3, 2020
