President Donald Trump has since strongly denied that he was told of this intelligence, and has attacked its credibility, characterizing the existence of Russian bounty payments as fake. Two are actively involved with the Taliban, and one is now a refugee in Greece who came in 2016. All stressed that they personally had not undertaken Russian bounty operations, and disparaged the practice in general.The refugee spoke anonymously to Insider for fear of retaliation, though his identity is known to Insider. He used to be a commander with the Taliban in the Logar Province of Afghanistan.
But he was skeptical that accepting such payments would advance the Taliban's cause in the long term. "These people will not just leave," he said. "They did not spend the money because we are friends. They spent it to kill their American enemies."Moulani Baghdadi, a current Taliban commander from Ghazni Province, provided Insider a statement via a family member.
A third Taliban official discussed the situation with Insider via Facebook from Pakistan. The official, whom Insider reached via a trusted intermediary, did not give a name.
Seeing this reminds me of tedcruz lobbying for another man to “wrestle” someone he had issues with on Twitter. Cowards get other people to fight their battles.
The same sources that led to the Iraq war? Doubt that ...
Oh, so now we're supposed to trust the Taliban more than the National Security Agency? 🤷🏻♂️
Never-ending hilarious stories about Russia.
Well we did the same thing to them in the 80’s sooooo...
poor usa :{ forgot who sent gun for talibian during soviet - afghan war? 'The CIA supplied nearly 500 Stingers (some sources claim 1,500–2,000) to the Mujahideen in Afghanistan' source wiki
So you now believed the so called Taliban sources than the Pentagon and US intelligence agencies? You guys are a piece of joke.
Why is everyone shocked. War by proxy is one of the oldest games in town, one in which everyone has and continues to play.
An eye for an eye is the summary of the relationship between US and Russia.
One would think if Trump weren't a Russian agent, he would try to find out if this were real and credible instead of denying it.
Lmfao “according to 3 separate Taliban sources”
TALIBAN sources? Are you guys fucking kidding?
Russia once again....wasn't me 😂

Rep. Sherrill: Trump needs to ‘commit to getting to the bottom’ of Russian bounty intelRegarding US intel that Russians purportedly offered bounties to Taliban fighters to kill Americans, Rep. Sherrill says Pres. Trump needs to 'commit to getting to the bottom of this and if this is credible, that there are repercussions for the Russians.' It's funny how Democrats all believed the dossier, yet it wasn't deemed credible enough to be used in January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment... Hitler realizing his regime is soon over,asked Nazis to sabotage Germany because in his narcissistic mind Germans were weak and didn’t deserve him. Expect these few months left of Trump’s presidency whether loses or drops out to be full of narcissistic rage,sabotage, and blaming. Americans are taught to fight for our RIGHTS. For 'liberty' for 'freedom' (from the government). What about civic DUTIES? Sacrificing for the good of others? No wonder we elected a buffoon. No wonder we're dying from ignorance. No wonder we're the laughingstock of the world.

NSA Differed From CIA, Others on Russia Bounty IntelligenceThe National Security Agency strongly dissented from other intelligence agencies’ assessment that Russia paid bounties for the killing of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan, according to people familiar with the matter. Give it up! It is another left fabrication. Besides, Taliban do not do well trying to shoot us troops - even after 20 years these is so serious: CIA says one thing. NSA says the opposite. 😬😬😬 AND who are citizens suppose to believe.. 😬😬 — WHY can’t intelligence agencies agree for once...😬😬😬 All life matter on killing judgement
