All things Trump + Russia Part 4

Trump stood in front of West Point graduates while knowing that Russia had bounties out on American soldiers.
 
Whitehouse PressSec says neither Trump nor Pence were briefed on the "alleged Russian bounty intelligence".

This raises the obvious question.
The US had intelligence that Russia was paying militants to kill US & allied troops, and officials decided NOT to tell the president or VP about it?

But then, Fox News has posted a story which matches the New York Times reporting that the president was told months ago that a Russian government paid the Taliban to attack US troops.

Who do we believe?

Remember, the Press Secretary said "I will never lie to you".

Well I hate to tell you I told you so but Most of Infowars early years was funded though Putin, and Bulk Purchases of Alex Jones's products, just like the Bulk Purchases of Right wing books from certain authors who have said they never Colluded with Russia.

You often don't have to tell an Employee what the boss wants.
 
Trump Tweeted

Nobody briefed or told me, @VP Pence, or Chief of Staff @MarkMeadows about the so-called attacks on our troops in Afghanistan by Russians, as reported through an “anonymous source” by the Fake News @nytimes. Everybody is denying it & there have not been many attacks on us.....

...Nobody’s been tougher on Russia than the Trump Administration. With Corrupt Joe Biden & Obama, Russia had a field day, taking over important parts of Ukraine - Where’s Hunter? Probably just another phony Times hit job, just like their failed Russia Hoax. Who is their “source”?

Funny to see Corrupt Joe Biden reading a statement on Russia, which was obviously written by his handlers. Russia ate his and Obama’s lunch during their time in office, so badly that Obama wanted them out of the then G-8. U.S. was weak on everything, but especially Russia!

The fact that he thinks "No one told ME!" is an adequate defense just shows, once again, how useless he is as president. If any earlier President had been kept out of the loop on something this important, heads would have rolled when they found out, which is why the intelligence community would make sure the President was informed.

If it's true that no one bothered to tell Trump about this, that's a stunning indictment of his leadership qualities, or should I say, utter lack thereof.

The guy doesn't realize he's the President. That comes with responsibility.
 
Of course Trump is guilty of treason. If Russia is known by the US Government to be paying to have US citizens killed, they are by any reasonable definition an enemy. There needn't be a declared war or police action against them to make the word "enemy" applicable.

Now that Trump definitely knows -
What is he going to do about it?

What can he do? One of his inner circle probably signed off on it.

I'm not an expert on the technical requirements for treason, but Trump's probably been guilty of something related to treason since long before he was barely elected president.
 
Everyone who has seen Trump break laws and didn't blow the whistle is guilty of breaking their oath of office m
That would apply to everyone in the Administration unless they have evidence to the contrary.

Probably, but this one isn't even a close call. This is reacting to a nation attacking your citizens by calling them friends and advocating for them to get things they want. If the House doesn't start the impeachment process again, they're traitors too.

I don't think there's the time, inclination or political capital to get any kind of ball rolling. It would only serve as a distraction for Trump to say outrageous things about and draw media attention away from the thousands of people dying as a direct result of his policy.

That said, I think it was a mistake to ever shut the impeachment process down. At some point the Trump administration is going to start burning all the evidence they can reach, and right now it's not being protected or even watched.
