Unelected federal officials have been lying to Trump/people about US troop levels in Syria
(From The Washington Examiner)
Nameless bureaucrats who disagreed with Trump’s directive decided simply to undermine it, according to outgoing Ambassador Jim Jeffrey, the U.S. special envoy for Syria. First, they convinced the president to leave behind a residual force. Then, they mislead “senior officials” about the actual number of U.S. troops left in the region, avoiding a widescale withdrawal simply by playing around with the data.
“What Syria withdrawal?” Jeffery told Defense One. “There was never a Syria withdrawal.”
