Trump faces bipartisan calls for answers on Russian-offered bounties
By Rebecca Kheel and Olivia Beavers - 06/29/20 05:33 PM EDT

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are demanding answers after a flurry of reports revealed the intelligence community concluded months ago that Russia offered bounties to incentivize Taliban-linked militants to kill U.S. and coalition troops in Afghanistan.

The uproar includes a chorus of Republicans who are typically reticent to confront President Trump, who has sought to deflect blame and responsibility by arguing he was not briefed on the intelligence that he claims is not credible.

But congressional Republicans and Democrats — calling the reported Russian operation “egregious” and “disturbing” — say Trump’s explanations only raise more questions that the administration must answer immediately.

Hi @mystery-ak

I am wondering how you think they are going to find the facts if this isn't investigated?  Don't you think people deserve to get the truth about whether Russia was paying terrorists to kill our troops?  Because Trump would have just been happy saying he never received a breifing.  There are so many different versions going around its pretty obvious that the truth does not abound.

Take this report from Hot Air:

AP sources: Yes, Trump was briefed on Russia putting bounties on U.S. troops earlier this year

I didn't excerpt because the whole thing needs to be read.  It goes from this report to that source on and on.

I was taught that one lie leads to another.  I have said that if this is false reporting they need to be taken to court and held accountable.  Freedom of press is not without limits.  Someone or many are lying and trying to cover up. 

Its my opinion that every Congress person should demand explanations.  And if some official made a determination they need to explain why.




AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

OK

Katherine Herridge said so because she talked to...……

I had already read that.  So no need to read it again.  And the question is also if he wasn't briefed why not?

Not AP, OK  How about Military.com?

Just saying that Americans deserve to know what happened.

AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."
