DailyWire: The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), the White House, and President Donald Trump are all pushing back on a New York Times report that claimed that Trump was briefed about an alleged Russian military unit that secretly offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants for killing coalition forces in Afghanistan.
“The intelligence finding was briefed to President Trump, and the White House’s National Security Council discussed the problem at an interagency meeting in late March, the officials said,” The New York Times reported. “Officials developed a menu of potential options — starting with making a diplomatic complaint to Moscow and a demand that it stop, along with an escalating series of sanctions and other possible responses, but the White House has yet to authorize any step, the officials said.”
The Russian military unit that was alleged to be behind the attack was Unit 29155, an arm of Russia’s military intelligence agency, which the report said has been linked to assassination attempts and secret operations to destabilize the West. Tactics that the unit reportedly uses in its covert war against the West include cyber-attacks, the dissemination of disinformation online, and secret military missions that Moscow is able to deny.
Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe responded to the report by saying in a statement: “I have confirmed that neither the President nor the Vice President were ever briefed on any intelligence alleged by the New York Times in its reporting yesterday.”
“The White House statement addressing this issue earlier today, which denied such a briefing occurred, was accurate,” Ratcliffe added. “The New York Times reporting, and all other subsequent news reports about such an alleged briefing are inaccurate.” more here
Who cares if Trump found out about it in March, he knows about it now, so; is it true and what is he going to do about it?
Welcome to the democrats ‘Operation: Hurl Silly Hoaxes and Insufferable Tall Tales’. Aka OHSHITT.
Expect at least one of these stories every day between now and November, as leftists realize their hatred has caused themselves to overreach with their engineered insansity and the chaos they put in motion is a force that now attacks them.
This was predicted in the Bible, just by the way. I can’t quote it but it was about raising children without discipline or respect for their elders.
Civil war here – a shared oligarchy/communism/islamism is the goal.
Our demise is another goal. Get ready.
If Trump doesn’t do something about it: he’s abandoning our troops.
If Trump does something about it: he trying to start World War III.
NYT. All the print shit that’s fit for the bottom of the bird cage.
