https://www.axios.com/trump-russia-...all-4a0f6110-ab58-41c0-96fc-57b507462af1.html President Trump has never confronted Vladimir Putin with intelligence indicating Russia paid the Taliban to kill U.S. troops, he told “Axios on HBO” in an interview on Tuesday. Why it matters: Democrats have seized on the issue, and Trump's reluctance to discuss it, as evidence he’s unwilling to challenge Putin even when American lives are at stake. Trump spoke with Putin on Thursday, and subsequently deflected a question about whether he’d raised the alleged bounty scheme, saying on Monday: “We don't talk about what we discussed, but we had plenty of discussion.” In Tuesday’s interview, he was definitive: “I have never discussed it with him.” Pressed on why he didn’t raise the matter in Thursday’s call, he said: “That was a phone call to discuss other things, and frankly that’s an issue that many people said was fake news.” Trump has spoken to Putin at least eight times since intelligence about the alleged Russian bounties was reportedly includedin the President's Daily Brief — his written intelligence briefing — in late February. Trump’s team says he was not verbally briefed on the matter before a June 26 report from the New York Times brought the controversy out into the open. https://twitter.com/rgoodlaw/status/1288462843 Send this terrorist to gitmo and let him meet big bob
The backstory: The New York Times reported in June that U.S. intelligence had concluded “months ago” that an infamous Russian military intelligence unit had offered payments for each U.S. or allied soldier killed. Those payments were funneled through middlemen and could run as high as $100,000, according to the Times. The White House claimed that Trump had not been briefed on the matter because the intelligence was inconclusive. Multiple outlets subsequently reported that the intelligence was included in the PDB, but that Trump may not have read it. Trump insisted in the interview that he does read the PDB — “they like to say I don’t read, I read a lot” — but stood by the claim that the matter “never reached my desk” because U.S. intelligence “didn’t think it was real.”
here, let me help interpret for you seeing as how you are reading challenged, trump is a fucking moron that is a Putin enabler. Hope that clarifies it for you.
lmao! Did you even watch your linked video? He clearly states at the end he was not successful in closing it. Wanting to close and closing are not the same. Nice try though, but beware of troll bait. It tastes like crow.
I wonder what the Covid infection rate is at Gitmo. Maybe it's the safest place on earth....other than New Zealand
If you have any questions why Trump orders 13K troops out of Germany leaving NATO exposed to Russian threat - you should not.
Apparently you are in the minority on this. I've seen reports by the New York Times, USA Today and NPR that say it's highly likely and that American and Afghan military intelligence sure thinks so.
But reports are not evidence. They are hyptheticals. Assumptions. A report may CONTAIN evidence, but reports are NOT evidence. Otherwise I can report that I flew to the moon last week and there is my evidence that i'm a moonwalker. Cause I had a photo taken holding a space suit helmet once, I can include that in my report as evidence.
Head in the sand is a poor way to go through life johnny boy. Should it just be ignored, brushed off and not do anything? or should there be further investigation? You make the call johnny boy.
