    The President is fully in on the story and its gotten worse. WSJ, NYTimes, US News World report... also have covered this. You could have been better informed. Fox didn't let you know?

    That's bullshit. You think Presidents don't get briefed until it's been reported in the MSM? Many intelligence officials have said that the excuse is BS. The whole reason for briefings is to let the POTUS know about potential threats like this and to form a response.


    Also, it's worse than we thought. The traitor knew about the bounties for over a year.
    TRUMP’S EXPLANATION FOR IGNORING RUSSIA INTEL IS LOOKING WORSE AND WORSE
    The White House reportedly had been told that Russia put bounties on U.S. troops in Afghanistan a year earlier than previously known—and even Republicans are demanding more information.
    BY CHARLOTTE KLEIN

    JUNE 30, 2020

    The White House has apparently known of possible Russian bounties on Americans in Afghanistan since early 2019, pushing the timeline back a full year earlier than when the administration was initially thought to have learned of the intelligence. The shocking findings that a Russian military intelligence agency offered rewards to Taliban-linked militants for attacks on U.S. and coalition forces is something that President Donald Trump was previously reported to have known and done nothing about since late March, despite claiming on Sunday that no one told him about such information.

    But the Associated Press reported on Tuesday that Trump was briefed at least twice on the matter in 2019, in his written daily intelligence briefings as well as by then-national security adviser John Bolton, who reportedly told colleagues in March 2019 that he had briefed the president on the intelligence assessment. Bolton declined to comment on this when asked by the outlet on Monday, but did suggest that Trump has a tendency to feign ignorance when trying to skirt accountability. “He can disown everything if nobody told him about it,” Bolton said on Sunday’s Meet the Press.

    The AP previously reported that Trump was again made aware of the Russian bounty allegations at least two more times this year, in another written presidential daily briefing as well as in a discussion with national security adviser Robert O’Brien. O’Brien has denied discussing the intelligence with Trump and on Monday said the assessments “have not been verified,” an argument put forth by the White House to explain why the president was not, and has yet to be, briefed on the matter. But it is “rare for intelligence to be confirmed without a shadow of a doubt before it is presented to top officials,” notes the AP’s James LaPorta. “The administration’s earlier awareness of the Russian efforts raises additional questions about why Trump did not take any punitive action against Moscow for efforts that put the lives of Americans service members at risk.” (Russia has denied the bounty allegations).

    The president has yet to authorize a response despite reports of potential options developed by career government officials, raising questions of government inaction and Trump’s kid gloves approach to Russia—and leaving Republicans scrambling to figure out how to address.
    How hard is it for Trump to say "IF this is true, then he would do everything in his power to punish Russia and avenge/defend our troops"? He has no problem threatening our allies, but when it comes to Putin, he's a limp dicked nut hugger.

    You're a despicable human. If Trump flexed any muscle on Russia, you'd be calling him a war criminal before the week was over.


    This is another attempt at smearing Trump. Anonymous leaks, unknown whistleblowers, and so on and so forth. This is another ploy at negative press against Trump up until the election.


    There is a reason why people like DonDadda, andgar, and MaxFly no longer post here you know.

    “He’ll never get past the primaries bc of what he said on the hot mic!”

    “He’ll surely not win the general after this stormy daniels scandal!”

    “He colluded with Russia and Mueller gonna bring him DOWN!!!”

    “This impeachment trial will finally have Trump packing his bags!!!!!!!”



    Lets face it. People like OP and Jtotheizzo and ItsMilerTime are legitimately unhinged lunatics. Theyve cried wolf way too many times and their credibility is in the negatives. They dont live in the real world. Theyre broken, mentally unstable men who have developed Trump schizophrenia.

    Nobody cares about these drummed up controveries anymore except them.

    Chewing is responding to this thread.

    Why aren't the ones arguing against him posting in the Michael Flynn thread?

    They come up randomly every time there's some big "controversy" then disappear into the abyss. Every time.

    Dude, I'm pretty sure you don't recall me or seen me call out Trump before. So what wolf are you talking about? And the real world? I predicted the riots.

    Nobody cares about these drummed up controveries anymore except them.
    Name me a news outfit that hasn't covered it? You were given four options in the OP.

    Was this fake news? Several posters predicted your response and those of your ilk. Do note that the President himself hasn't taken this position. He first said he wasn't told which is very alarming. He is now saying that it wasn't clear enough for him to make a move on it. So this means that you guys got it wrong at the very least which is amazing being that the President has taken two contradicting positions and I knew you guys couldn't fathom the fourth option.

    Trump heard it and chose to ignore it? Yes this is one of the President's positions

    Trump never heard about it? Yes this is one of the President's positions

    Trump hears it now and will exact damage on Russia? I was clowned for having this as an option by two of the smarter posters around. Think about how telling it is that not one of his fans even could think that this was an option. Am I crazy or is this one of the most appropriate stances?

    So how is it that we don't live in the real world when we could predict you would pick the only wrong answer? There was a reason why I put that one first and the most appropriate last. And that you and a couple of others still don't know that Trump eliminated the fake news story as an option.
