There is apparently a strong suspicion that the recent joint US-Yemen operation may have been telegraphed to All Qaeda in advance.
They were waiting in position for the task force.

Within days Muslim brothers working in the State Dept with access to the intelligence were removed and their whereabouts are unknown.
These people were appointees during Obama's term.

I will post the link when I am at the computer later.

"here’s a recap of the timeline of events:
◦Jan 20 – Trump takes office, and DoD officials are expecting him to be more willing to approve dangerous missions
◦Jan 26 – Rex Tillerson visits State Department headquarters prior to his confirmation, and either terminates or forces the resignation of many existing State Department personnel
◦Jan 29 – The botched Yemen raid is executed, resulting in the death of Navy SEAL Owens
◦Feb 1 – Rex Tillerson is confirmed by President Trump as Secretary of State
◦Feb 2 – The Awan brothers are terminated on suspicion that they accessed congressional computers without permission

As Mad World News previously stated,

“…it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to connect the dots.  The firing of the Awan brothers is linked to the Yemen raid where al-Qaeda knew we were coming, and it tragically ended with Navy SEAL Owens being killed in action.”

'..................Jan 20 – Trump takes office

................Jan 29 – The botched Yemen raid is executed..........'

Hard to see Trump organising a SEAL operation and launching it in 9 days

He had other things to do ..........

No it was already organised but not yet authorised, as I read it.
But from the accounts reported here to have been given by the troops there is no doubt the enemy knew exactly where & when they were coming and their response had been well-rehearsed.

Quote:

In an ironic twist, it appears it may not have been ‘The Russians’ that hacked America’s political system last year. As The Daily Caller reports, three brothers (Abid, Imran, and Jamal Awan) who managed office IT for members of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and other lawmakers were abruptly relieved of their duties on suspicion that they accessed congressional computer networks without permission. As Luke Rosiak reports, the brothers were barred from computer networks at the House of Representatives Thursday, The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group has learned. Three members of the intelligence panel and five members of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs were among the dozens of members who employed the suspects on a shared basis. The two committees deal with many of the nation’s most sensitive issues, information and documents, including those related to the war on terrorism. The brothers are suspected of serious violations, including accessing members’ computer networks without their knowledge and stealing equipment from Congress. The three men are “shared employees,” meaning they are hired by multiple offices, which split their salaries and use them as needed for IT services. It is up to each member to fire them from working… Jamal handled IT for Rep. Joaquin Castro, a Texas Democrat who serves on both the intelligence and foreign affairs panels. “As of 2/2, his employment with our office has been terminated,” Castro spokeswoman Erin Hatch told TheDCNF Friday. Jamal also worked for Louisiana Democrat Rep. Cedric Richmond, who is on the Committee on Homeland Security. Imran worked for Reps. Andre Carson, an Indiana Democrat, and Jackie Speier, a California Democrat. Carson and Speier are members of the intelligence committee. Spokesmen for Carson and Speier did not respond to TheDCNF’s requests for comments. Imran also worked for the House office of Wasserman-Schultz. Then-Rep. Tammy Duckworth, an Illinois Democrat, employed Abid for IT work in 2016. She was a member of House committees dealing with the armed services, oversight, and Benghazi. Duckworth was elected to the Senate in November, 2016. Abid has a prior criminal record and a bankruptcy. Abid also worked for Rep. Lois Frankel, a Florida Democrat who is member of the foreign affairs committee. Also among those whose computer systems may have been compromised is Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the Florida Democrat who was previously the target of a disastrous email hack when she served as chairman of the Democratic National Committee during the 2016 campaign. A criminal investigation into five unnamed people began late last year related to serious and potentially illegal violations of House IT policies, Politico reported Thursday. Chiefs of staff for the members were briefed Thursday by the Sergeant-at-Arms. Buzzfeed reported Friday that one of the affected members claimed: “they said it was some sort of procurement scam, but now I’m concerned that they may have stolen data from us, emails, who knows.” While treading carefully here, and not wanting to hurt anyone’s feelings, is it just us or is the irony too perfect that having blamed ‘Russians’ for allegedly hacking their systems and manipulating the election, it was three IT staff they hired (with immigrant-sounding names – yes we said it) that in fact broke into the systems of various politicians and aides

Sprint, it must be hard for the left to come to terms with this kind of thing.
They've spent years cosying up to the world of Islam and to even suspect it would come back to bite them on the bum would be harder to take than . . .than . . .Donald Trump being President.

How does the right survive without the left?

They elect Donald Trump and watch him getting on with the business of reviving the American economy. That distracts from pewking up about the actions of the left.
