Oh I'm calling absolute bullshit on this one......no way in hell they did not know.

[Takket]

1. "never heard of it!" that's the direction they are going in? LOL

wow they must REALLY have been caught with their pants down on this one

[mwb970]

23. This will be a BIG one.

trump's remaining support from military members will crumble.

2. Axis Sally lies as frequently as her boss does.

This is no exception.

[NightWatcher]

3. Here's the prob, Kayleigh, you lie about everything and no one believes you now.

[onecaliberal]

4. Bobble head bimbo said what?

[littlemissmartypants]

24. Ha!Ha! nt

[pwb]

5. Trump was golfing and pence was praying so they couldn't

be bothered.

[struggle4progress]

6. "He doesn't read all that stuff, because Putin will tell him everything he needs to know"

[Kid Berwyn]

43. !!!

Been that way for a while.

[MagickMuffin]

7. And . . . What does the Intelligence community say about this?

I'm sure someone will express they were both informed.

[Solly Mack]

8. Horse shit

[PTWB]

9. Well what else was she going to say?

Her options were admit treason or admit incompetence. Of course she chose incompetence.

The truth will come out in the Biden administration. One more charge to levy...

[RockRaven]

10. Either a) that's a flat out lie or b) Trump/Pence are negligent in their duties.

Pick your poison, Trumpers.

[Nevilledog]

19. Or c) he can't be trusted with the intelligence reports cuz he's a Russian asset.

[Mme. Defarge]

11. Under oath would be nice.

[BComplex]

16. This!

[lastlib]

28. oaths mean nothing to this douchenozzle.

He'll lie under one just as naturally as he would lie on top of one.

[eppur_se_muova]

12. If they did not know, that is inexcusable. In any other position it would lead to dismissal. nt

[LiberalFighter]

13. It calls into question his leadership if he didn't know.

[qazplm135]

14. they decided that looking like they are less in the know

than the NYT on intelligence matters was the better route than knowing and doing nothing.

Which, if I am being honest, is probably true.

18. LIARS! President Obama or President Clinton would have

been told as USA Presidents and actually done something about it!

[Sogo]

20. So, why the H didn't he know????

Lame-ass excuse for a CIC....

[grantcart]

21. Lol For 3 years I have been telling friends that the FBI and CIA will defend

their agencies against a dictator by leaking facts.

Get used to it Donnie, this is only the beginning

[mwb970]

22. If they weren't briefed, then the administration is incompetent.

If they were, it's evil.

I know which I believe.

[smirkymonkey]

27. +1000

[IndianaDave]

25. Even if we accepted that neither of them knew (which I don't!) --

now that he (supposedly) has suddenly learned about it, what meaningful action / retaliation has he proposed or taken? Still nothing? More BS -- piles and piles of it!

[littlemissmartypants]

26. What? No one's screaming "Fake News" and that's how we Know they're lying.

Try again dipshits. President Bodybags definitely owns this.

[gab13by13]

40. The Trumpers on my local right wing web site are crying fake news.

I posted a dozen blistering posts before the cult banned together and attacked me. There is absolutely no critical thinking in the Trump cult.

[lastlib]

29. Then they pretty damn stoopid to be prezdunt, dontchathink?

[Takket]

30. ABC News literally spent 15 seconds on this during their national broadcast tonight........

said the russians denied it and the white house said the president was never briefed. then they went on to the next story.

apparently this is a nothing-burger to the media that the president allegedly ignored a bounty program to kill American soldiers.

[orleans]

34. i watched abc also and noticed that too

i'm also getting pretty sick & tired of their happy ending of "AMERICA STRONG" --

day after day, week by week, i turn the channel when that happy ending comes on. i guess i'm just not viewing "america strong" these days. i think america is is pretty fucked up and sick and contagious.

maybe they'd have more time to report on the white house traitor if they pulled the plug on this happy slappy crap until we get our shit straightened out in this country.

[Traildogbob]

31. Maybe she is not lying

Maybe it was Jared and Ivanka that were briefed. They seem to be in charge. Daddy just tweets and watches Fox. When not in make up and hair.

[raging moderate]

32. No words.

[Volaris]

33. That means that by Friday, documentary evidence will be produced that says both were briefed.

[niyad]

35. STFU, Komrade Kkupcake

[uponit7771]

36. Hmmmm, they're not saying the story is false either saying they weren't briefed which is ..

... like saying Trump didn't swallow all of it this time.

[BittyJenkins]

37. Nothing but lies

[Ponietz]

38. I expected the stupid cover story to be 'deep state'

and the maligning, forthwith, of several ‘liberal’ CIA agents.

[Mr.Bill]

39. If no journalist in the room asked her who did know about it and when,

then that's what our problem is.

[pecosbob]

41. If they were not briefed, then laws were broken

Who will they offer up as a sacrificial lamb...doubt that any of the Joint Chiefs or IC heads are willing to fall on their sword for this a**hole. Paging Ollie North...

44. BULLSHIT. You know how much value I put in anything the PressSec says/lies about?

Even less than any infinitesimal amount you could imagine.
