Media has gone totally silent on this.Ā 

Ā 

A search for "bounty" or "Russia" on NYT and Washington Post turns up nothing of note.Ā 

Ā 

Politico is running this story

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/07/04/white-house-media-trump-russia-bounty-348643

Dont you think ole Nancy and Chuck would have been screaming at the top if their lungs if there was some substance to the story?

Ā 

It's funny how the author says the White House yells 'Squirrel', but doesn't understand it's the damn media putting out anonymous sourced stories that scream 'Squirrel'!!! And you guys just run with it.

So thenĀ Iā€™m sure you are in favor of a congressional investigationĀ to get to the bottom of what the hell is going on...

That is kind of funny. Whatā€™s even funnier is the fact youā€™re a pansy.Ā

The White House has effectivelyĀ admittedĀ that Trump won't readĀ his daily briefings aboutĀ the nation's current events and issues...and when briefed orally, he only wants to hear the parts in which he has a personal interest.Ā  Ā His people have learned to be selective in what they tell him based onĀ what he does/doesn'tĀ want to hear.Ā  Ā  Ā Trump doesn't get the whole story because he doesn't wantĀ the whole story;Ā  he only wants bullet points that make him look good.Ā  Ā Willful ignorance.

Ā 

It's not unlikeĀ like a 4-year old who refusesĀ to eat his vegetables and goes straight for theĀ dessert.Ā  Ā Unfortunately,Ā we're not talking aboutĀ a 4-year old...this isĀ a grown man leading a world superpower who won'tĀ eat his vegetables onĀ issues of national and international security.Ā  Ā  He doesn't know because he doesn't want to hear it.

Ā 

And apparently we're supposed to be okay with that.

Ā 

Ā 

Exactly. Saying he wasnā€™t briefed means heā€™s too stupid and lazy to read a Daily PresidentialĀ Briefing.Ā 
Ā 

Words and their understanding increasingly have no meaning behind them. This administration has dropped an anvil on the simple idea and understanding of what truth means, how it is widely interpreted, and has evenĀ dugĀ into the very mechanisms of words themselves. Think about how many people said ā€˜heĀ wasnā€™t briefed!ā€™. Yet we know the date it was in his PDB...

Ā 

Being briefed on things does sometimes require small amounts of intelligence, work, and a functional attention span to go withĀ literacy. Yeah, well I guessĀ by those terms he wasnā€™t briefed after all.Ā

So now they go after Duckworth for saying the country needs to have a conversation about how to handle the statue issue, going so far as to say she hates our country...this coming from the sycophant and theĀ retard who wonā€™t even call out Russia for putting bounties on our soldiers. Neither haveĀ even said theyā€™re investigating all possible leads and will deal with Russia if it is found to be true (too late). What despicable individuals, and these are the people the right look up to and consider their leaders. Fucking idiots. Itā€™s disgusting to say a woman who lost her legs in combat and is now a Senator hates her country merely for saying we need a national dialogue.

Trump Pushed CIA to Give Intelligence to Kremlin

July 8, 2020 at 9:43 am EDTĀ ByĀ Taegan GoddardĀ Leave a Comment

Just Security: ā€œWhy would the Russian government think it could get away with paying bounties to the Taliban to kill American soldiers? One answer to that question may be the extraordinary response that Moscow received when the Trump administration learned of a precursor to the bounty operationā€¦ā€

ā€œFirst, President Trump decided not to confront Putin about supplying arms to the terrorist group. Second, during the very times in which U.S. military officials publicly raised concerns about the programā€™s threat to US forces, Trump undercut them. He embraced Putin, overtly and repeatedly, including at the historic summit in Helsinki.ā€

ā€œThird, behind the scenes, Trump directed the CIA to share intelligence information on counterterrorism with the Kremlin despite no discernible reward, former intelligence officials who served in the Trump administration toldĀ Just Security.ā€
