Analysis: The Russian bounty story crystallizes questions about Trump’s presidency

that the day after Trump’s daily intelligence briefing reportedly included an update on the Russia allegations, he announced a tentative peace deal with the Taliban in Afghanistan. Russia’s activity didn’t exist in a vacuum absent other considerations in the region, of course, and the American effort to end the conflict in Afghanistan might have moderated a potential response from the White House.

According to the Daily Beast report, the Afghanistan conflict itself was the thrust of Trump’s response to the Times report about the bounties, as well. “Why are we still there?” he reportedly asked advisers after the Times reintroduced the complex topic.If Bolton indeed briefed Trump on the subject in March 2019, consider the broader context of the moment: That same month, special counsel Robert S.

Since taking office, Trump's solicitousness toward Putin and Russia has consistently been a source of bemusement for observers.

Bernstein's reporting suggests that Putin is very aware of how Trump puts more significance on his personal interactions with the leader than on the geopolitical relationship of the leaders' two countries.

The intell community already debunked this baseless attack against the president.

Other peoples actions (if it is even true) are not Trumps fault. As an ex front line soldier it is an occupational hazard, had i died in action i would have died doing a job i loved and i did it for the patriots among us and those that shed blood before for a nation its culture.

Actually, it crystallizes questions on journalistic ethics and the industries relation to certain intelligence officials. You could care less about Russia OR our troops.

It really does seem like realDonaldTrump is beholden to Putin -- or is it just my imagination? VoteBlue TrumpRussiaBounty TrumpKnewAndDidNothing

Trump denies being told about Russian bounties to kill U.S. troops in AfghanistanPresident Donald Trump said on Sunday he was never briefed about the reported Russian efforts to pay bounties to Taliban-linked militants to kill U.S. troops in Afghanistan, blasting a New York Times report on the bounties. He denies everything, except wanting to sleep with his own daughter. 🤡🤡 The bigger question now is, “Donald Trump has known since Friday. What action has/is ne going to take in response to this?” That is other than asking for puppet master Putinis input and then doing nothing when Vladimir Putin says that our intelligence community is lying.
