Geee Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 American Thinker The other day, the New York Times was subtly and not so subltely promoting the claim that President Trump was standing callously by and coddling Russia's Vladimir Putin even as Putin was busily offering the Taliban bounties for the bodies of dead U.S. servicemen. It was the old 'Trump is a Russian agent' canard whipped out in a new form. Fortunatelly, there was CBS's Catherine Herridge, who batted back at the press at its own game - and found some pretty exculpatory backing for the Trump administration's statements: DEVELOPING: A senior intel official tells @CBSNews the GRU/Taliban bounty allegations were not contained in the President's Daily Brief (PDB) which is the highly classified, daily summary of national security issues delivered to the President, key cabinet secretaries + advisers.. 21.2K 2:56 PM - Jun 28, 2020 ✔ · 16h Replying to @CBS_Herridge The official confirmed the NSC has been doing “due diligence,” and going back through their files since the story broke Friday, and they have not found the “intelligence assessment” described in media reporting. The official said the review is ongoing, but given current... ✔ talks with the Taliban, intel about a GRU operation involving the Taliban, targeting US forces would have risen to the level of inclusion in the PDB. @CBSNews 10.2K 2:56 PM - Jun 28, 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
