Everyone be nicer to Ghot in this one.

AP story on Russian bounties being known and briefed to Trump in 2019.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/29/us/politics/russian-bounty-trump.html

The Russian bounties intel was in Trump's PDB in late Feb. of this year.

As I said:

After all this time, it's pretty extraordinary that Trump still has credibility with you guys, lol. This lie will probably be revealed in a matter of days.

What you need is a source where he clearly said he wasn't aware of it, and even if the "lie" is validated he can still say all that was "put under silence" for defense/strategical purpose...

Same people freaking out about this freaked out over the killing of Soleimeni (the man responsible for thousands of American deaths).

The Department of Defense (DOD) said late Monday that it has not validated reported intelligence assessing that Russia offered bounties to incentivize Taliban-linked militants to kill coalition forces, including U.S. troops, in Afghanistan.

"The Department of Defense continues to evaluate intelligence that Russian GRU operatives were engaged in malign activity against United States and coalition forces in Afghanistan. To date, DOD has no corroborating evidence to validate the recent allegations found in open-source reports," chief Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman said in a statement.

The fact that this faded so quick out of the news cycle should be telling, probably that the credibility is suspect.

So far we don’t have a single person named who’s willing to put their name and say Trump knew about this. Even Bolton who wrote a whole fucking book on he said she said has nothing to say about it, if there’s one person that would jump on to implicate Trump it’d be him.

The nature of intelligence is that there's often not a way to completely validate it. There's varying levels of confidence that intelligence agencies assign to the claims they make. So that talking point seems irrelevant and designed to obfuscate.

The claim of no corroborating evidence is a weird one. All of these denials from officials are short and murky, which tells us something. Are they claiming that SF didn't find a bunch of money with Taliban-linked groups, and they didn't obtain information that led them to suspect it came from the Russians?

If I were you cult members, I'd probably start to shift to "nothing matters lol" like you always do, because based on the evidence so far, it looks like the NYT's initial story was probably accurate.

DOD - we have no proof of this to date

Icemage- rejects facts, rebuts with tds


Like is anyone surprised that the village idiot who believed ‘anonymous sources’ for 3 years only to find out it was all bullshit is dumb enough to once again believe uncorroborated rumors once again?
