AP sources: White House aware of Russian bounties in 2019 https://apnews.com/425e43fa0ffdd6e126c5171653ec47d1?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=AP&utm_campaign=SocialFlow Top officials in the White House were aware in early 2019 of classified intelligence indicating Russia was secretly offering bounties to the Taliban for the deaths of Americans, a full year earlier than has been previously reported, according to U.S. officials with direct knowledge of the intelligence. The assessment was included in at least one of President Donald Trump’s written daily intelligence briefings at the time, according to the officials. Then-national security adviser John Bolton also told colleagues he briefed Trump on the intelligence assessment in March 2019. The White House did not respond to questions about Trump or other officials’ awareness of Russia’s provocations in 2019. The White House has said Trump was not — and still has not been — briefed on the intelligence assessments because they have not been fully verified. However, it is rare for intelligence to be confirmed without a shadow of a doubt before it is presented to top officials. Bolton declined to comment Monday when asked by the AP if he had briefed Trump about the matter in 2019. On Sunday, he suggested to NBC’s “Meet the Press” that Trump was claiming ignorance of Russia’s provocations to justify his administration’s lack of a response. Trump Got Written Briefing in February on Possible Russian Bounties, Officials Say https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/29/us/politics/russian-bounty-trump.html Trump was provided a written briefing in February laying out intelligence that Russia offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants to kill US troops in Afghanistan. 1 Like |

donjazet: You talk about pragmatism and you expect any Democratic candidate to condemn black lives matter or those protesting the murder of George Floyd, when 90% of African-Americans support the Democratic party? The Democratic party was even kneeling while wearing Ghanaian kenke scarf to show support for blacks (very stupid). Both sides are playing politics with the issue, while blacks are caught in the middle. That doesn't remove from the racism and discrimination against blacks still prevalent in the US. Jews passed through their own discrimination and suppression, but they did not pass through their 400 years of slavery. 4 Likes 1 Share |

garetz:Are you the spokesperson for DNI? Why not give us links to DNI denial. Here is Trump's own twist to the story;
According to Trump, it was reported to him, but later unreported again, because they did not find the info credible. If the house decides to investigate now, Trump would ban government officials from testifying and you guys would should Russia and Afghanistan hoax. 4 Likes 1 Share |

garetz: So how do you reconcile the 2 different statements from president Trump and Director Ratcliffe? Intel just reported to me that they did not find this info credible, and therefore did not report it to me or @VP. - president Trump 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 - Director Ratcliffe Maybe the intel that reported that Trump was not DNI or that Ratcliffe was not aware that Trump was briefed. Or, simply one of them is lying. 2 Likes |

American officials intercepted electronic data showing large financial transfers from a bank account controlled by Russia’s military intelligence agency to a Taliban-linked account, which was among the evidence that supported their conclusion that Russia covertly offered bounties for killing U.S. and coalition troops in Afghanistan, according to three officials familiar with the intelligence. A statement by Senators who have attended the intelligence briefing at the WH: [b]Democrats and Senate Republicans [/b]were also separately briefed at the White House on Tuesday morning. Democrats emerged saying that the issue was clearly not, as Mr. Trump has suggested, a “hoax.” They demanded to hear directly from intelligence officials, rather than from Mr. Trump’s political appointees, but conceded they had not secured a commitment for such a briefing. Based on the intelligence they saw, the lawmakers said they were deeply troubled by Mr. Trump’s insistence he did not know about the plot and his subsequent obfuscation when it became public. 1 Like |

Trump was expected to speak on his endorsement of his former attorney general Jeff Sessions’ opponent (Coach Tommy Tuberville) ahead of their tight Senate primary race.

garetz: White House says Trump has now been briefed on Russian bounty intel https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/505293-white-house-says-trump-has-now-been-briefed-on-russian-bounty-intel President Trump has now been briefed on intelligence regarding Russian bounties on coalition forces in Afghanistan, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Tuesday. McEnany confirmed that Trump had been briefed on the matter during a press briefing Tuesday afternoon, but emphasized that there is still not a “consensus” in the intelligence community regarding the information. “The president has been briefed on what is unfortunately in the public domain because of the New York Times,” McEnany told reporters. “But that does not change the fact that there is no consensus on this intelligence that still has yet to be verified.” McEnany vociferously criticized the Times, which first reported on the intelligence on Friday, for publishing what she described as unverified information, saying it damages the U.S. government’s ability to collect intelligence. The Times first reported Friday that Russia covertly offered payments to Taliban-linked militants for successful attacks against coalition forces in Afghanistan. The White House denied that Trump or Vice President Mike Pence were personally briefed on the matter prior to reports about the intelligence. Subsequent reports have said the information was included in the President’s Daily Brief (PPB), a written classified document summarizing intelligence given to Trump daily. McEnany has declined to say whether the information was in the PDB. Trump is known not to read the written briefs and prefers to receive oral briefings a handful of times a week. |

As in the intelligence agencies are just telling him about it now and they are saying they didn't brief either him or the VP before now because they didn't find the info credible when they (the Intel agencies) got it.

feedthenation:He has just been briefed about it. The New York times lied that he knew about it before now. Intel agencies don't go briefing the president on any gossip they hear. They have to find it credible before they brief the president. They didn't find this info credible so they didn't tell the president about it until the New Times went to town with their lies. The press secretary just told you it is an "unverified intelligence", the Intel agencies don't go telling the president things until they have verified it. Of course after the NYT lies, the intel agencies had no option than to brief Trump because he asked them what the hell the NYT are talking about. 4 Likes |

Do you know the amount of information and even death threats to the president the Intel agencies get everyday? It's their job to weed out the unverified ones and pass on only what is credible. The intelligence agencies themselves have come out to say they didn't brief Trump or Vice President Pence because the info was unverified and not credible, The white house confirmed Trump wasn't briefed and you are still sticking to the story of faceless and nameless nobody from the new york times that has been caught lying times without number. 4 Likes |
