    It definitely underscores the reporting that the intelligence was contained in his daily brief.

    Don't you wish he would just read those things?

    no i don’t wish we could read classified daily briefings.

    what’s being reported and backed by the white house is that it was never included because it was unverified rumors

    Ok, here is more.

    https://thehill.com/policy/defense/...ised-suspicious-about-russian-bounties-report
    The transfers reportedly quelled disagreements among intelligence officials on whether the initial intelligence about Russian bounties was credible.

    What kind os POTUS do we have when USA intelligence services hold back info, in one phrase, a Manchurian Candidate !!!!!

    So - if the story is true and he was briefed (in a daily written briefing) about this bounty - do you think the appropriate response was to try to get Putin back into the G 7/8? Or do you think trump should have reacted some way to save American lives?

    If the story proves true, I'll deal with it then. Still, won't be half as bad as Obama bending down to Putin, promising him to be more flexible after the election.

    But you seemed not minding that at all.

    Obama wasn’t speaking to Putin. And saying he could be more flexible later is saying he wasn’t willing to be flexible at the time. It was an empty promise, so typical diplomacy.

    I wanted to follow up with a link regarding the information withheld by the trump administration from the briefing to congress.

    Trump administration 'stupefyingly stupid' for withholding information on Russian bounties, Harvard professor says

    Yes, they definitely do.

    It is the utmost absurdity to pretend that intelligence officials refrain from reporting information in their briefing unless they obtain 100% consensus. It is virtually impossible to get 100% consensus that tomorrow is Thursday.

    You don't wish that he would read his daily briefings?

    And no, what is being reported is that he was told in those daily briefings about this intelligence and the white house is trying to avoid answering whether it was included by saying that he was not personally briefed.

    Oh good grief do you want Trump making decisions on Russia based on unverified intelligence. He certainly has shown when he gets good intelligence, See Iranian General that the left cried foul about. Bottom line Trump likes intelligence reports done in person so he can discuss, everything doesn't rise to the level of alarm because it's not verified. I guarantee you if there's a bounty on soldiers Trump will punish Russia severely. If you honestly haven't know that Russia/Iran have been backing forces fighting Afghans and us when involved then you haven't been paying attention. We certainly do it and let it be known. This whole article is a HOAX just to make Trump look bad, the intelligence is sketchy and he wasn't briefed because it's unverified, rightfully so.

    haha that’s laughable. he was speaking gab to the president of russia and told him to give the message to putin. the message was for putin to go easy on him during the 2012 election in exchange he’d be more flexible if he won. which he was
