In The News Today...

Quote: RonC

Are you saying that, in spite of the fairly routine mistakes in leaks from "a source inside...", that we should judge the whole thing by the NY Times article?

Why don't we let Congress get briefed, listen to what both sides say coming out of that and then assume that the truth is somewhere in the middle? That is at least slightly more probable of a barometer of what happened than the focused attack media...

I already said /if it was true in my first response. And I'm talking about the Trump's whole presidency of various unethical behavior.

Except they’re only briefing House Republicans.

Gotta get their story straight before too many more facts come out!

"White House chief of staff Mark Meadows called House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) Sunday to try to schedule a briefing for Democrats but its unclear why that has yet to happen or if it will."

Perhaps Hoyer was insisting on Speaker Pelosi's demand that all House members be briefed and they could not come to an agreement.

The last thing we need with any sensitive intelligence is a whole bunch of people who can't keep their mouths shut running around giving their opinions and spilling secret information.

No, it is best to keep the groups small to start with and move on from there.

Highly doubtful.

Highly doubtful.

Hoyer and some Dems will apparently get briefed tomorrow morning at 8 AM.

In the meantime, let’s see if any of the GOP members who got the briefing today show up on Fox News tonight to try to set the narrative.

Logical sequence:

1. Donny gets intel that Russia has put a bounty on our troops in Afghanistan



2. Donny does nothing about it

3. Donny still kisses Putin's ass, says Russia should be let back into the G8

TRAITOR

Trump denies briefing about reported bounties on US troops

Lets for a moment think that it is possible your president has information that you don't. Let us also assume that the bounty information came from an imbedded informant that would be exposed if the information he received was made public. Your president likely made the choice to protect the life of the source and didn't release the information to the public. Some of us who have ethics might think saving lives is a good thing. Others might feel that it is more important to get rid of your president regardless of cost or ethics, WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON?

lmao

Anybody with "ethics" wouldn't be supporting this man as POTUS. But after stating the obvious...

It's this simple. If Trump wasn't briefed on this, he shouldn't be president. If he was briefed on this, he shouldn't be president.

THERE IS NO ACCEPTABLE REASON FOR HIM NOT TO HAVE BEEN BRIEFED ON THIS.

Sure there is. If the intel was not credible he would not have been briefed.

This is just another pee-tape fantasy for liberals to go goo-goo over for a few weeks.

The problem with your expert analysis is that the administration is not disputing the intelligence. The only denials coming out of them is that they didn't know about it.

You traded your country for a red hat.

Nope. I wore a red hat to save my country.

You are waiting for another pee tape.

No one is more obsessed with the pee tape than Duffman. He brings it up all the time these days.

As he should. Only a complete sucker devoid of all rational thought would believe something so obviously slanted and ridiculous. Shame on anyone who pushed that nonsense.
