    Trump is like, "here no evil, see no evil, know no evil".
    Nothing to see here, moving on....

    And he wonder's why he is thought of as Putin's Puppet.

    More details are coming out, and it's looking like the story is true.
    Senior intel officials are about to brief congress, so we shall see.

    Generally speaking, people in office in the USA have more of their sons
    and daughters in the armed forces than the average Joe American.

    Can't. No time. But I will quote something about Michael Moore, liar extraordinaire,
    Wikipedia on Fehrenheit 9/11
    .
    Someone took Moore to task by citing the statistics on servicemen born to sitting members
    of Congress and State legislatures. It was significantly higher. I have no doubt that's true.



    Children of members of Congress serving in Iraq[edit]
    [​IMG]
    Congressman Mark Kennedy
    Moore says that only one member of Congress had a child serving in Iraq: Army Staff Sergeant Brooks Johnson, the son of Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD).[41] According to Karen Kucher, when Fahrenheit 9/11 was nearing release to the home-video market, two additional Congressmen's children were stationed in Iraq: the son of Congressman Duncan L. Hunter (R-CA), USMC Lieutenant Duncan D. Hunter (who was later elected to Congress himself); and the son of Joe Wilson (R-SC), Army National Guard Captain Alan Wilson.[42]

    Fahrenheit 9/11 also used footage of Moore confronting various members of Congress, encouraging them to enlist their own children to fight in Iraq. Moore approached Congressman Mark Kennedy (R-MN) and showed Kennedy giving Moore a quizzical, confused look. Kennedy expressed displeasure about his portrayal, saying he offered to help Moore and also indicated he had a nephew serving in Afghanistan, but this was edited out of the film.[43]

    Maybe there is no evil. Since you don't know, your opinion is of no value.

    General McCaffrey has worked with both democrat and republican presidedents on national security issues, and I'll take his word over yours.

    "What is the chance that the intelligence agency would be reporting that the GRU would be putting out a bounty on US Soldiers which was widely disseminated-it was the subject of an NSC meeting of the policy group and that the president made ( as far as I can tell ) five phone calls to Putin and nobody came in and said. 'Mr President, this guy's trying to murder your soldiers'?
    Obviously he knew about it, there's no question about it in my mind" ---General McCaffrey



    Sorry.

    I don't watch internet videos but does this general know something the intelligence community doesn't know? What does his word over mine mean? I only said you don't know and you don't.

    The highlighted indicates you didn't even read the quote. That leads me to ask, 'why even bother with you at all?".

    That is why I quoted him, because you won't watch the video. You probably won't even read the quote , and so I'll post it again in the remote chance you will read it.

    "What is the chance that the intelligence agency would be reporting that the GRU would be putting out a bounty on US Soldiers which was widely disseminated-it was the subject of an NSC meeting of the policy group and that the president made ( as far as I can tell ) five phone calls to Putin and nobody came in and said. 'Mr President, this guy's trying to murder your soldiers'?
    Obviously he knew about it, there's no question about it in my mind" ---General McCaffrey

    Based on the above which establishes we do have presumptive evidence, we can say, with reasonable certainty, we are leaning towards the story being true, but await final confirmation.

    That does not equal zero nor does it equal 'worthless'. Your point is, essentially, if it's not 100% it's of no value. No, that's not true. If it's strong enough to warrant further investigation, which it does, indeed, then it's value is precisely that. If it were 'worthless', there would be no point in Congress conducting a preliminary hearing on it, which is not the case.

    For some reason, you are unable to grasp such a simple concept.

    any more crap from you on that point--that my opinion is 'of no value' you will be ignored, because I ignore ignorance and/or inability to grasp simple concepts which rise to unwarranted insults.
