Go do some history on that lot. "You Will Never find A More Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy" You realize they are first on the proverbial chopping block if they cant pull off a marxist coup here in the US like they have in so many other countries. Why do you think that tired play book will work here? Because the masses remain gullible? No. The CIA's Haspel is about as dependable a source as lucifer himself. [/quote] Remind us again: which president nominated Haskell as CIA director? "Only the best people" again, right? Besides, this has been confirmed by multiple sources now and selected members of Congress were briefed on it today. Those congressmen were being briefed while Trump was still maintaining he had never been briefed. You believe him, right? [/quote] Horse shit. American troops used to say that the Russians were lucky that we never went to war with them. Well, we did, actually. On February 7, 2018, at Deir Ezzor, Syria. The Russians sent a 600-man Mobile Detachment Combat Group (MDCG) against 40 American Special Forces. The tank company has ten main battle tanks. [b]We inflicted 100 percent casualties on the Russian. Almost all 600 men were killed or wounded. One entire motorized rifle company of 120 men was killed instantly. They all died. There were no survivors.[/b] The Russians had never fought us, so they were delusional. Now they know what we can do. [b]It's funny that Trump--accused of being a Russian agent--inflicted on the Russians the worst military defeat they'd ever suffered at the hands of Americans. [/b] We covered it up so that Putin could save face. https://social.quodverum.com/@ThomasWic/103293453438299085 [/quote] Ok, Trigger. We have seen you copy and paste that baseless claim before. [/quote] Lol. When you read, "Trigger," you can be sure the thread is run by consensus managers steering consensus. :ah: [/quote]
Original Message
American officials provided a written briefing in late February to President Trump laying out their conclusion that a Russian military intelligence unit offered and paid bounties to Taliban-linked militants to kill U.S. and coalition troops in Afghanistan.
The investigation into the suspected Russian covert operation to incentivize such killings has focused in part on an April 2019 car bombing that killed three Marines as one such potential attack, according to multiple officials familiar with the matter.
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.
A National Security Council spokesman declined to comment on any connection between the Marines’ deaths and the suspected Russian plot. The White House press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, did not answer when pressed by reporters on Monday whether the intelligence was included in the written President’s Daily Brief, and the security council spokesman pointed to her comments when asked later about the February written briefing.
