It also is crazy to think that several years ago when he was at the same dinner just hours before he executed Seal Team 6 to bin laden and acted totally cool and normal;though he was probably shitting bricks the whole time.
I am not sure if anyone saw the documentary on the History Channel awhile back about the day/night leading up to the operation. George Stephanopoulos almost blew the operation by making a very off-the-cuff statement about the White House closing tours the next day and how something big must be going on. Way to go George
Another part which was fascinating was that they had to order only a couple of pizza's from multiple pizza shops throughout the city. Apparently, when a large amounts of pizza's are ordered from one place the media is tipped off that something big may be going down.

He was fantastic. I also thought Cecily Strong was awesome. "I solemly swear not to talk about Hillary Clinton's appearance because that is not real journalism."

It was so interesting to me.
For some reason this is cracking me up. Like, in DC a large pizza order means super secret spy business? Never just a kids birthday party, or school fundraiser? Always super secret White House planning meeting. LOL.
I am assuming due to the delivery address and it was on a Sunday which I assume must be rare? I don't know. But, I agree. It was just so interesting to me. Also, every person privy to that meeting had to lie to their spouse, lover, roommate and came in different entrances at different times so again, the media or other personnel outside of the 'known' wouldn't have a clue.
And, I forget who George Stephanopoulos was sitting with when he made that comment, someone involved and very high-up, but after George made that comment the person stated that he had no clue what to say and was so stunned. He stated that a pipe had burst, flooding several rooms thus closing tours. George apparently turned and said, huh, that is interesting or something to the effect. George was also on the interview and stated he really didn't think anything of the pipe bursting though the senior official he was sitting with was freaking the fuck out.
It was such an amazing documentary into the events leading up to, during the operation and after. If you haven't seen it I recommend.

Sorry, just re-read, but ordering multiple pizzas ( apparently there were some 50 pizzas delivered to get everyone through the day, night) to the White House tips off the media through the pizza places. So, in turn, they ordered only 3-4 pizzas from each place to be delivered at different areas and times. Again, it is stupid, but when I sat back and thought that this was such a high-level military affair that it had to be planned down to the amount of pizza's delivered.
