With McEnany saying, “While the White House does not routinely comment on alleged intelligence or internal deliberations, the CIA Director, National Security Adviser, and the Chief of Staff can all confirm that neither the President nor the Vice President were briefed on the alleged Russian bounty intelligence,” and then adding that the White House is flooded with reports that the president is likely not aware of, Savage was asked by host Joy Reid to respond.


“One thing to notice about the statement they’re not denying that there was an intelligence assessment that the Russian government had offered bounties to Afghan militants and criminals to — they’re not denying that and that the white house has not known about this since March and convened in the interagency meeting about it,” Savage began. “Even with the National Security Council in March.”


“So they have not tried to push back on that,” he continued. “They’re saying, ‘well, Trump wasn’t briefed,'” he added. “We don’t know if they’re using the word briefed in a highly specialized way like maybe it was in his Presidential Daily Brief (PDB0 document but he didn’t read it — the guy who comes in every few days to tell him about what’s in the document didn’t mention it that day. We don’t know what to make of that statement.”............................

12. How did she ever

graduate from Harvard Law?

[certainot]

14. she specialized in rationalization and loopholes

[Lonestarblue]

15. Did her parents make a big contribution to get her admitted, a la Kushner?

The ability to lie with a straight face in the Trump administration is far more important than a law degree.

18. One of her former teachers at a private Catholic girl's school

in Florida is none too happy with her. She's called her out publicly on all her lying for Trump.

[usaf-vet]

19. I could guess.

[Vinca]

2. Apparently it means the Muppets weren't brought into the White House to perform a skit informing

Trump of the plot to murder soldiers for cash. They're very specific. Chances are it was all over the PDBs at the very least and, if there's any chance at all Trump didn't know, it's because they figured he'd go nuts (as usual) if they told him. BUT, there's little doubt Trump knew of this according to everyone interviewed with the exception of Kayleigh, who apparently dislodged her lips from Trump's ass long enough to give a response.

4. It means that when the CIA 3 member information team

Presented a 25 page two hour explanation with slides and recordings of intercepts, none of them wore briefs.

5. mcenany seems to be a traitor too

[FakeNoose]

7. Certainly our military leaders have known about the bounty

Chump can deny knowing all he wants to. The Joint Chiefs, the intelligence community leaders, the guys serving in Afghanistan - they ALL KNOW!

How they continue showing allegiance to Chump after this is beyond me. To my way of thinking, this is just further proof that there could never be a military-backed coup to keep Chump in power after he loses in November. Our US fighting forces (and security communities) have no reason to stay loyal to such a total loss and embarrassment.

8. My guess, what it means is drumpf wouldn't accept the briefing, said they were wrong.

PUtin was his friend and wouldn't do that to HIM & threw them out, so therefore he was never fully briefed since he's too stupid, lazy & willfully ignorant to read the briefing in the PDB - especially when it shows the treachery of the man who stole the office for him.

[Cartaphelius]

9. "...hadn't been briefed" only means

that Trump was going "commando" when he was told
about the Russians actions. Probably the result of his full
'nappy'...

[Nevilledog]

10. Wasn't briefed means he didn't look up from his fucking phone while they were telling him.

[Cha]

11. "..we have a source who said that this was briefed at the highest levels of the White House, and we

‘The other thing that’s weird about that statement is that it suggests the way that Kayleigh McEnany described it, ‘well, the U.S. government receives reports, thousands of reports a day,’ as if this was a tip that came in from outside the government when this was an assessment report developed by this government,” he explained. “It’s not just something randomly that showed up on the stoop one day. So having pointed both of those things out, all I’ll say is that is that we have a source who said that this was briefed at the highest levels of the White House, and we have a second source who says it was in the written Presidential Daily Brief document.”

TY, rivers!

13. Kayleigh always looks like a deer caught in headlights.

That poor girl doesn't know if she is coming or going. She needs an intervention, and soon.

[DallasNE]

16. She Left Out "Verbally"

Surely it was included in the PDB and by definition that means he was briefed. So she lied.

[usaf-vet]

17. It's his F***ing job to know! Here's what I know. He golfs, tweets, watches Fox to much....

.... and doesn't go to the oval office until late mornings at best.

He is a lazy SOB who doesn't give a s**t about anyone but himself and his play toy Ivanka.

THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR HIM TO NOT KNOW ABOUT THE BOUNTIES on the heads of US Military personal.

This amounts to plain and simple Tre45on.

20. I'm an atheist.....

but even I expect to see that little gold cross just start smoking one day.

[Aussie105]

21. A blatant disregard for the best interests of the country.

There must be a shorter way to say that. Oh yeah, treason.

Best start making a list of names for the post Trump era cleanup. It's going to be a long one!

[Texin]

22. He/they "weren't 'briefed'." Give me a fucking break.

There is as much chance of that as a flight of angels flying out of Shitler's ass. Fuck all. In the minuscule, pinhead chance that they "weren't 'briefed'" about this, it raises an even more relevant and important question, WHY THE FUCK WOULDN'T THEY HAVE BEEN BRIEFED ABOUT IT? Somebody up there needs to provide an explanation for THAT!

[brush]

23. All lies. Of course he was briefed. The president is going to be briefed...

about bounties being put on our soldiers.

Period. No question.

trump did nothing about it because it was Putin paying the bounties and trump is afraid to cross Putin. Probably because of the kompromat Putin has on him, but also because he's shies away from confrontations with people he can't bully. In other words, he's a...
