Russian bounty - our $ paid them too + did they not trust Trump to brief him?

[underpants]

Two things I tried to squeeze into the subject line.

If Trump wasn’t briefed (someone surely was) could it be because intel didn’t trust him with the information?

Also - don’t forget that US contractors paid the Taliban not to hit their employees. That’s our money. The contractors funded Taliban operations to some degree.

1. Trump was briefed. He just didn't listen.

I remember the briefers said they have to use pictures and have his name mentioned frequently to get him to pay any attention at all.

3. Trump was briefed, the last time he met Putin to take his orders.

6. it is impressive how he remembers every order Putin gives him--

And snaps to it right away.

The Covid crisis, however, he ignores.

2. Everyone who touched the PDB knew

Trump has to confess to either incompetence or treason.
He's not even asking why he wasn't informed (he was).

4. Yeah he's in a corner

or at best against a wall.

We should have a giant issue for the rest of the election process. We’ll see if the media stays on it because this could put one horse down. Joe or his people need to keep this front and center.

Trump is in a world of hurt.

5. Wasn't there an intelligence inspector general fired around that time?

7. The point is Trump & Pence know about the Russian bounties now

What, if anything, will they do about it?

8. Lie, try tocover it up...

Even though everyone has taken note of this stinking pile pf poo.

9. The usual...

Someone should investigate “friendly fire” incidents involving Afghan soldiers being trained by Americans. Let’s hope the press holds their feet to the fire.

10. Those were the attacks that instantly came to mind

when I first read about this.
