A piece from the NY Times accuses Russians of placing bounties on the heads of American soldiers. The White House denies knowing anything about it. Rep. Liz Cheney wants more information proving they didn’t know. Can they prove a negative/
The New York Times reported Friday that U.S. intelligence officials concluded earlier this year that a Russian military unit covertly tried to offer rewards to Taliban-linked militants for killing coalition forces in Afghanistan. That allegedly included U.S. troops.
The U.S. intelligence apparatus has known for months about the alleged efforts of the Russian military intelligence unit. That’s according to the Times. They cited anonymous officials briefed on the matter. The report also noted that intel officials briefed Trump during an interagency meeting in March. A number of responses were discussed. However, they claimed, the White House has not authorized any, according to the Times.
One must wonder if this is one of John Bolton’s delusions.
The White House and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence pushed back on the Times report in separate statements on Saturday. In a tweet shared Sunday, Trump also fiercely denied receiving an intelligence briefing on Russian bounties.
The President called the NY Times “fake news,” and it often is as we have reported here. He questioned whether the person even exists.
The Fake News @ nytimes must reveal its “anonymous” source. Bet they can’t do it, this “person” probably does not even exist! https://t.co/pdg4AjybOG

‘FAKE NEWS?’
He has been tough on Russia and noted it, comparing himself to the weakness of Obama and Biden. He could have also mentioned Biden’s complete subservience to China. President Trump said, “It’s probably just another phony Times hit job, just like their failed Russia hoax.” The President would like to know “their source.”
…Nobody’s been tougher on Russia than the Trump Administration. With Corrupt Joe Biden & Obama, Russia had a field day, taking over important parts of Ukraine – Where’s Hunter? Probably just another phony Times hit job, just like their failed Russia Hoax. Who is their “source”?

He didn’t let up on Biden:
Funny to see Corrupt Joe Biden reading a statement on Russia, which was obviously written by his handlers. Russia ate his and Obama’s lunch during their time in office, so badly that Obama wanted them out of the then G-8. U.S. was weak on everything, but especially Russia!

Corrupt Joe Biden has confirmed that he “would give UNLIMITED Healthcare to Illegal Immigrants”. This would break our system and bring millions of people to the USA. @foxandfriends

Trump’s supporters also didn’t let up and made note of Joe using the “n” word in derogatory fashion years ago:
Corrupt Joe is also a racist https://t.co/OpI975FRg5

This is an obvious disinformation leak by the defense/intelligence people in support of the coup. They want Russia to be the fake enemy to overshadow the real enemy China.
What do you want to bet that it came from a certain “General”. I wouldn’t bother to read the article but since an excerpt was posted I see it references “March”. Why wasn’t that article written back in March, or even April. Did Cheney or Crenshaw bother to read the article, and if so, why wouldn’t THEY have pointed this out. People need to realize there are Many More leftists in the military than one would assume. Just look how many recent candidates have been veterans.
Here we go again, another G.Damn Republican that’s blind as a bat and just as ignorant. I can only guess she STILL believes Trump is some kind of Russian asset. What is it with these politicians. They either run to the door, or keep their mouths shut, but when they DO open their mouths it’s a subtle rebuke to POTUS or full on attack. And You people Want My Damn Vote. They better start realizing that fewer and fewer people are voting for the (R) out of some misplaced loyalty. People learned a great deal about Republicans with the Obamacare “repeal and replace” nonsense. Many of us found out the Republicans can be big liars the same as Democrats. We saw what was SO important to them during the Impeachment process, passing a bill to restrict any action against Iran. But,,,but,,,but, “it’s principles”. So, if Republicans have NO loyalty why should I.
Good point the reference about John ‘Benedict’ Bolton. The timing is curious.
ANYTHING or ANYONE coming from ANY MEMBER of BERRY SOTORO’S ADMINISTRATION is UTTERLY UNTRUSTWORTHY, & either a LIAR or a CONN ARTIST, or a thief, or a sexual weirdo!!!
BEWARE! BE AWARE! BIDEN is not to be trusted!!!
