To date, DOD has no corroborating evidence to validate the recent allegations found in open-source reports. Regardless, we always take the safety and security of our forces in Afghanistan—and around the world—most seriously and therefore continuously adopt measures to prevent harm from potential threats,” Jonathan Hoffman, the chief Pentagon spokesman, said in a statement.



Pelosi can go frick herself...

Just the lunatic left still dreaming of Russian collusion! Now if there was a bounty list with Pelosi and Schumer’s name on it- that would be news!!

"To date..." is some arse-covering bullshite, it either exists or it doesn't, this isnt Noahs Ark we're talking about it, its an intelligence report from a few months ago. If they can't keep track of those they're even more inept than I imagined.

Meanwhile the AP gives a very specific date of February 27th for it being in President Trumps daily briefing, AND claims Bolton talked about it with him personally.

Between this and the Supreme Court, today feels pivotal for Trumps presidency. Say a prayer for the good guys.

Have Fox and Friends on the tube as I get ready for work. Overheard: New information as more security officials have come forward to confirm they informed POTUS in writing (in Pres. Daily Briefing).

Add: House Dems will receive intelligence briefing to further explain. Is it dems only? If so who will be able to demonstrate dem spin on comments taken out of context.

Add: Doucy asking McCarthy question beginning: "If true"...

Glad to be off to work and the chance to deal with real world problems. Have a good day y'all.

The dems lie with impunity and then there are no MSM corrections so the orignal lie is the narrative. You will never convince dems that Russia do not put a bounty on our troops or that Trump did not know about. They are still walking around thinking hands up don't shoot was real.

You're right. If the CIA says they have reports of WMDs in Iraq, by god we should believe them.

Could be some truth to this... was this a CIA troll to make Biden/dims look like fools?

Biden went all in on his faux outrage. TBH- wouldn't mind it at all if Trump started dousing the MSM/dims some of his own "fake news" secret sauces from now until November. A little payback is long overdue.

Bolton was fired Sept 10, 2019.

I really doubt Trump was talking with him about things on Feb 27th, 2020.

Seems like this will be easily provable. From NY Times:
quote:

The new information emerged as the White House tried on Monday to play down the intelligence assessment that Russia sought to encourage and reward killings — including reiterating a claim that Mr. Trump was never briefed about the matter and portraying the conclusion as disputed and dubious.

But that stance clashed with the disclosure by two officials that the intelligence was included months ago in Mr. Trump’s President’s Daily Brief document — a compilation of the government’s latest secrets and best insights about foreign policy and national security that is prepared for him to read. One of the officials said the item appeared in Mr. Trump’s brief in late February; the other cited Feb. 27, specifically.

Moreover, a description of the intelligence assessment that the Russian unit had carried out the bounties plot was also seen as serious and solid enough to disseminate more broadly across the intelligence community in a May 4 article in the C.I.A.’s World Intelligence Review, a classified compendium commonly referred to as The Wire, two officials said.

Of course there isn't. It was released to hurt Trump and now the damage has been done.

Donald Trump is the most dangerous thing to happen to Democrat’s election chances in recent history. Their greatest fear is of him starting a movement and striking a balance between republican and moderate. They are motivated by fear and self preservation.

They should be unmasked and exposed for their agenda based crimes.
