Shouldn't he be firing the people responsible for not notifying him? Oh that's right, they told him and he's a liar

A republican representative just said what might be the republican excuse for this:  everyone knows President Trump does not read, so the blame is on people who gave the President an intelligence report that would require reading. 

Really turns around the expression The Writing Is On The Wall when it comes to Trump and his reelection doesn't it?

The expression in Trump terms is It Isn’t A Picture? Fuck You. Have You Heard I’m Really Important?

American officials intercepted electronic data showing large financial transfers from a bank account controlled by Russia’s military intelligence agency to a Taliban-linked account, which was among the evidence that supported their conclusion that Russia covertly offered bounties for killing U.S. and coalition troops in Afghanistan, according to three officials familiar with the intelligence

 

The administration officials did not mention anything in the House Republican briefing about intercepted data tracking financial transfers, both of the people familiar with it said.

The white house claims the evidence wasn't actionable then they brief congressional republicans and neglect to mention the money transfers.

OMFG you seriously believe Trump didn't know?? Jesus, you'll believe anything. Holy shit!

Yes. What info do you have that says he did? OMFG, some anonymous source? DOD officials came out and said the info was not verified so they did not bring it to the President. 

 

Seems like you dumb shits fall for the same shit over and over. Anonymous source about Russia.  NYT reports. Must be true.

His National Security Advisor briefed him on it and it was also in a PDB!

The assessment was included in at least one of President Donald Trump’s written daily intelligence briefings at the time, according to the officials. Then-national security adviser John Bolton also told colleagues he briefed Trump on the intelligence assessment in March 2019.

 

So much for an "anonymous source."

Even your story says that it was unverified. What was exactly in the daily assessment? Do you have it?

Very little intelligence is fully verified. Here's the full quote, since you're cherry-picking:

 

The White House did not respond to questions about Trump or other officials’ awareness of Russia’s provocations in 2019. The White House has said Trump was not — and still has not been — briefed on the intelligence assessments because they have not been fully verified. However, it is rare for intelligence to be confirmed without a shadow of a doubt before it is presented to top officials.

 

Guess what else wasn't fully verified?
