An ex intelligence chief was talking on one of the MSM shows Monday and put it as clear as it gets...Trump may have a short attention span and need his P**********l Daily Briefs condensed down to a simple page or two, and prefer the important things be relayed verbally...but it is his responsibility to read and understand what intelligence is distilling for him. He doesn't get to say that technically he wasn't told about this thing that Putin is paying the Taliban to k**l US soldiers, paying a bounty.

Make no mistake, he knew this, he simply won't take the proper moves against Putin...his failure to know the material issues and facts is as bad as knowing and doing nothing, if not worse.

This country can't afford to have a president that is this ignorant, and we sure as hell can't have one that allows Putin to pay terrorist groups to k**l Americans.

A couple things may have been distorted to bring us this particular lie.. If he does not remember it, he will insist he was never told.

This from a longer article

1.) It has been reported that the fact that Russia was offering bounties on the heads of US service members in Afganistan to the Taliban was published in President Trump’s Daily security briefing, which he is notorious for not reading, in February. The idea that he would not have been specifically told about this by his National Security Advisor and that it would not have been discussed in multiple National Security briefings is just not plausible. The most likely scenario is that Trump did not read the briefing, was informed by his National Security Advisor and did nothing about it. It has been 4 months. Multiple servicemembers have died in Afganistan, and multiple bounties have been paid since that time.

2.) Trump does not read his Daily Security briefings, that is common knowledge, but it is possible that no one told him. The question that brings up is why would a competent president not be told about information of this magnitude? The only possible conclusion here is that the president is not considered competent enough to deal with the information in the briefing, so was not properly briefed.

3.) The National Intelligence Team did not trust that Trump would not immediately call Putin with the information he was given and reveal the means by which it was achieved. Frankly, this is more believable, but also more troubling than possibility 2.

To add;

The Associated Press, The most non-partisan and credible news organization on the planet has published a report that this information was made available to the Trump Administration in March of 2019. This debate is over. Donald Trump is a t*****r.

===============
The is a total H**X. This Afghanistan events are unproven. Neither the National Intelligence knew about it. Someone had lied to the NYT in order to continue the destruction of president Trump. But this must be verified who leaked this unproven h**x.

The president could not act unless he has been briefed of any event going on. But certainly this is again ONE OF THE GREATEST H**X, since the huge made up Obama h**x of the Russia collusion.

This again needs digging up. The massive crimes of the socialist democrats for almost 4 years have cost the American taxpayers billions of dollars for the servicing democrat interests. The whole objective is taking over power by force.

They are so desperate to removing our duly elected president. So much are at stake for them if president Trump is reelected, which I am certain he will be reelected.

The democrats are so worried they'll loose another SC justice. Now if that happens they even planned to increase the SC Justice to Ten. So, they could take back their own. They planned to make the DC a state, when in fact it is unconstitutional. They planned to use Mail in V****g when in fact it has been proven over and over that it has been fraudulent. They want the Census that all i******s are counted, but not the citizens identified.

How screwed up they have become? It is the opposite of all the right things. Now the socialist Dems want tor change our system of government. Their goal is Totalitarian, as they now mostly practice. Their desire to be like China that Biden loves.

These bounties have been in place for 20 years now.

You all are outraged now...why?

I think it's more likely the factor that those briefing him, especially his appointed advisers, tell intelligence people to stay away from anything negative about Putin, that it will flip him out and send him into a tantrum of denials...

and yes, possibly an element of filtering anything they don't want going straight back to Putin.

My God, give up the whole Putin ownes Trump charade already. It was stupid to begin with, and has been proven completely false years ago.
