Pure bullshit.

2. Yep, a nothing statement. A weak cover for dotard and a lame attempt to intimidate

the press.

3. Deplorable liar.

I trust no one in this cabal to ever tell the truth.

6. But if you read that pile of codswallop you can see the problem is really the people who ...

... leaked the story not that Russia has been paying the Taliban to kill Americans.

And yes you are 100% right on not trusting anything "they" say.

4. #1 talking point being floated is: "this is nothing new so the POTUS wasn't briefed"

...except no one believes this is "nothing new".

This is an egregious act of war against the US by Russia and should be met with, at a minimum, hard and broad sanctions.

5. Thanks. Image? Perhaps i missed it.

7. The three-paragraph statement is in a photo, not plain text in the tweet.

8. But his claim that the leakers endanger national security

corroborates the legitimacy of the leaks.

Not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

We also know that there are multiple reports that Trump was briefed going back to 2019.
The UK corroborated the allegations.Apparently, Obama was briefed on it (as past Presidents are).

Now, one might debate how true these allegations are.
With so many reports and sources, they have to be taken seriously.

The President should err on the side of caution and protect the troops.
The President should not reward the guy alleged to be paying the bounty.
But that's not what Trump did.
All he's done is pretend to not know when it was his duty to know.
