President Donald Trump's chief of staff, Mark Meadows, vowed that people would "go to jail" over reports that Russia offered the Taliban bounties for U.S. soldiers, during an interview with Trump supporter and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani released Friday.

"We know a crime was perpetrated," Meadows told Giuliani of The New York Times' bombshell report. "Whoever leaked this — they didn't even leak the whole story."

Meadows, the top aide to the president and a close confidant, said he expects a criminal investigation and prosecution.

"We're determined to get to the bottom of it," he said. "They're serious about the investigation."

Once again, Republicans will say that the real problem is not that Russia put bounties on U.S. soldiers and that Trump was fine with it. Rather, Republicans will say the real crime is that this information was leaked and not kept secret from U.S. soldiers and the American people.

1. But Not The Traitors Helping Putin Kill Our Troops Right?

They swore and oath.

Protect and defend the constitution, not the Putin owned criminal Trump.

[C_U_L8R]

2. Apparently it's a crime to embarrass Trump the thinskinned

He's still doing nothing to protect our troops.

[sinkingfeeling]

3. But the actual bounties are A-okay with the Trump/Russian administration.

[cstanleytech]

25. Bingo!! nt

[no_hypocrisy]

30. Which concedes the "rumors" are true.

[VMA131Marine]

4. If it's a hoax ...

Why is it a crime?

And if it’s true, why the fuck would Mark Meadows confirm it. The correct answer, regarding classified information is “ no comment.”

[scarletwoman]

9. Exactly right - well put!

If it's a hoax ...

Why is it a crime?

And if it’s true, why the fuck would Mark Meadows confirm it.

[gab13by13]

31. If true the leaker is a whistleblower.

[Thekaspervote]

5. Oh bullshit!!

[Solly Mack]

6. SMH

I am so sick of the bullshit.

[Cha]

7. So.. they're Fucking Scared Shitless they Got Caught! The Fuckers

in the WH will Go to Jail.. how's that for a headline!

[Ferrets are Cool]

8. Evil fuckers

[sop]

10. They wanted to do the same thing to the Ukraine whistleblower. And they fired everyone in the

administration who testified during the Impeachment Hearings in the House. It's like the mafia took over the White House.

[Lock him up.]

17. Hint: The Russian mob DID take over the White House.

That's the only rationale that makes sense, all protected by the Republican compromised accomplices.

[Wellstone ruled]

11. You all know,

most of the info in the press was available from European Sources. Apparently the CIA as well as the NSA informed their counter parts in Nato as soon as this info popped.

[2naSalit]

12. Yes, you and several others. ...nt

[weissmam]

13. if all you have is go after the leakers

You have already lost the argument and the messaging,
hey Mark you not fooling anyone , go sit down and shut up

[NBachers]

14. I suggest you start at the top, and work your way down, Markie.

[Nitram]

15. Perfect! Boldly attempting a cover-up in full view of the public. What genius!

[patphil]

16. What happens next? Bounties on whistleblowers?

[paleotn]

18. The IC....

from where the leaks most likely occurred, will circle the wagons and nothing will come of this threatened investigation. They're done with him and this leak is just the beginning.

[Duppers]

19. They should've been be done with him...

Some time ago.

Hope they keep leaking.

[subterranean]

20. "...they didn't even leak the whole story." Wait, you mean there's more?

Is it even worse than we heard? We want details, Mark!

[bringthePaine]

21. Dems should speak calmly about bringing justice & redress as the foundation of renewed Democracy

[dflprincess]

22. This is all you need to know about Trump and his minions.

Jail time for leaking anything that makes Trump look bad, but not for putting a bounty on troops.

Of course, when he tries to cop an diminished capacity plea, the fact he worried about leaks may be used as consciousness of guilt.

[jorgevlorgan]

23. I do too. Not least of which will be the president dumpster fire himself.

[cstanleytech]

24. Hey I agree I want people to go to jail..............for betraying the troops by choosing to do

nothing to stop Russia for doing this.

[ancianita]

26. It's gonna be messaging whack-a-mole from here until next January.

Us whacking them for whacking at scapegoats for all their incompetence and dereliction of duty.

[ck4829]

27. Ah, the REAL problem...

[pecosbob]

28. One hundred and eighty days

[pfitz59]

29. Kill the messenger

Trump's go to action

[llashram]

33. the GOP

is the political muscle of their political mafia don(s) king donald, queen ivanka and counsellor jared.

[yellowcanine]

34. "Whoever leaked this -- they didn't even leak the whole story." Well Alrighty then.

And Meadows thinks saying this is helpful to Trump?

[Brainfodder]

36. I shared in the laughter at that as well!

[Chrisdutch]

35. I'm rubber you're glue....

Okay, Mark, how about you and your boss go first....

[bdamomma]
