Trump just tweeted to claim "intel" told him bounty story not credible so they didn't brief him

[highplainsdem]

Bullshit.

And note he doesn't give any names for the "intel" person or persons who supposedly told him this.

Link to tweet

Intel just reported to me that they did not find this info credible, and therefore did not report it to me or @VP. Possibly another fabricated Russia Hoax, maybe by the Fake News @nytimesbooks, wanting to make Republicans look bad!!!

1. It's also possible they didn't trust him to not tell Putin.

4. The Hoarse Whisperer: "You're fucked. Intel leaked it because they knew it to be credible;

knew it was traitorous to do nothing; and knew you’d lie once it was revealed.

They’re smarter than you. And now they will bury you with corroboration."

Dear @realDonaldTrump: Your story conflicts with the story the DNI Director at the time @RichardGrenell
told. He said he “never heard” of the Russian bounty info, not that he found it not credible enough to tell you.

Also, UK confirmed the bounty info.

13. this is a great response.

this regime can't even tell a consistent story about its lies.

8. Bill Kristol: Will Haspel, Esper and Milley confirm they told Trump that?

Link to tweet

Note that Trump's not saying here he differs from or doesn't believe the intelligence community, as at Helsinki. He's claiming the intelligence community told him a certain report was judged not credible. Is that true? Will Haspel, Esper and Milley confirm they told Trump that?

9. Samantha Power: Trump has no clue even how to fake being a capable Commander in Chief.

Link to tweet

Trump has no clue even how to fake being a capable Commander in Chief. After 10:30 PM on Sunday night, he tweets he has “just” looked into this life-and-death report. What could possibly have been more urgent over the last 48 hours than alleged Russian bounties on US soldiers???

21. Give the guy a break,

he had to wait until he got back from the golf course didn't he??

[Cha]

32. Retweeted!

[tishaLA]

11. Now he pretends to believe the "deep state"

It's almost funny to see his own rhetoric catch up to his fat ass.

[tblue37]

22. He needed those 2 days for golf. nt

[captain queeg]

16. Wait for more revisions to his story tomorrow.

And the day after that...

[Midnight Writer]

18. Now we know what Lindsey and Donald talked about on the golf course.

19. That's at least the second or third time his story has changed.

The claim is fake. Nobody told me about it. They told me it wasn't credible. I ran out of gas! I got a flat tire! I didn’t have change for cab fare! I lost my tux at the cleaners! I locked my keys in the car! An old friend came in from out of town! Someone stole my car! There was an earthquake! A terrible flood! Locusts! IT WASN’T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!

Trump can't even lie convincingly. Pathetic.

23. Evan McMullin: Trump is, once again, covering for Moscow

Link to tweet

Russia is paying terrorists to kill our troops and Trump is, once again, covering for Moscow. It’s a previously unimaginable display of treachery and yet most elected Republicans are turning a blind eye to it. Theirs is a terrible betrayal of our troops and our country.

[Skittles]

25. he really, really thinks everyone is as stupid as his fucked-up supporters

[Chemisse]

26. Why do people and news agencies even entertain his weak-ass excuses? They are all LIES!

"Well they probably didn't brief him because" - NO! He WAS briefed! He just didn't care.

"It wasn't really funny saying if you don't get tested, there won't be Covid" - He was NOT joking! He really means it!

"Odd, because the guy yelling 'white power' was pretty clear to me" - He DID hear it! That's what he liked about it!

Always remember, when Trump talks all that comes out of his mouth is lying SHIT! He does not deserve the benefit of the doubt - ever.

28. McCaffrey: Trump & his team are the most incompetent liars in the history of American politics.

Trump and team are the most incompetent liars in the history of American politics. There will be a paper trail on all of this. We need to hear who else in government knew? What were the options discussed in the March NSC? Why was ZERO ACTION taken?
