RussiaGate 2 will fail too.

I believe you, Donald. You didn't know about the Russians putting bounties on the heads of American troops, just like you didn't know about Cohen paying Stormy Daniels; just like every other time you've lied.
70+ years old and still can't tell the truth. What a sad husk of a man.

Can you prove Trump lied about this stuff?
Strangerland
Who cares whether he lied - why hasn’t he denounced it yet? And why is he silent to Putin.

Trump supporters have long claimed zero trust in what 'western' intelligence agencies have reported, citing Bush 43 and his neocons using a report Saddam had WMD as an example why they can't be trusted.
Trump supporters still believe the Kremlin's reports little old agrarian Russia didn't and doesn't meddle in US politics, and even say so what if they did.
But now both Trump's intelligence agency appointees and Russia say this story isn't true, I assume Trump backers will believe 'Trump didn't know'.
However, I think the majority of Americans who care about truth and who know Trump is the most dishonest president in US history will probably say Trump had been informed. Why is he defending Russia this time?

Yes, it's been well documented. https://www.google.com/amp/s/mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKCN1UD18D
Telling how you immediately jump to, "RussiaGate 2 will fail too.." Do you not find the accusations concerning?

Trump is the most dishonest president in US history
You're confusing Trump with Barack "If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor" Obama.

That's one demerit for President Obama repeatedly used by the global alt right, though it's somewhat understandable when put in context.
However:

Ok, so he wasn't briefed. But he's outraged and will take action.
Right?

Can you prove that he did know? If not, please don't re-spew liberal talking points.
That's different, that was he private life and it's no one else's business what the man did as a private citizen.
But you don't know that.
takeda.shingen.1991@gmail.com
Each and every day you spew your canned right wing talking points. Are liberals not allowed to do the same?
Lol Nope, despite the affair happening years before, the hush money was paid months before an election. It was an illegal campaign contribution, one of the reasons Cohen is in jail. At any rate, you missed the point entirely: He lied about knowing about the payment. Donald lies about a stuff all the time, there's no reason to assume he's telling the truth now.
lol I do. I already explained how I know. Donald lies all the time, he doesn't deserve to get the benefit of the doubt.

What talking right talking points? Liberals are the ones hurling accusations at the President again. Once again the liberal so called media is on another failed Jihad to say the President failed to safeguard Americans when it's liberals and the establishment that want to keep our troops in these perpetual wars.
But Trump wasn't President and this happened before he toke the oath, so it was a private matter even if these women came out and came forward with these accusations. Now Clinton on the other hand while President....
No, you don't, but if you have access to the White House records and can prove it, I'll owe you a heartfelt apology.
takeda.shingen.1991@gmail.com
lolol So, let's say, for just a second, that Donald didn't know about the bounties Putin placed on service members; What has Donald done about it? Anything? Donald's got time to retweet white power videos, but hasn't said a peep about this. I wonder where his priorities are, our troops or white supremacists?
lol No, its still an illegal campaign contribution. It still shows he's a liar. Are you seriously suggesting that Donald stopped lying when he took the oath? Laughable.
Goodlucktoyou
There is no proof the bounty story is true. It comes from unnamed sources and without evidence.
meanwhile America constantly puts bounties on foreigners all across the world.
weather trump was told or not is just election bull, the real story is why reputable US media publish fake stories from the CIA?
Zaphod
A NYT story based on anonymous sources. Yeah right, just the thing we should take as fact. We really have a gullability problem.
Zaphod
Good luck to you
"reputable"?? Remember how the NYT pushed the fake pee-pee document, the fake Covington Kids story, shall I go on? I thought any reputation for this rag had gone away long ago.

He's been trying to get the troops out of the Mideast since he took office, but the establishment and the Pentagon don't want it. So the man tried and is still trying against a resistant political class.
Biden has time to lecture people if you don't vote for him, "you ain't black!"
Biden's is for a fact not with blacks. Why would he support predators?
Sorry, he wasn't President, Clinton was, lied in his deposition, thankfully he lost his law license, but he was a sitting President, Trump was at the time a civilian, this is why it went nowhere with the Democrats. Nope, can't get him on that.
As if Democrats never, ever told a lie. ROFL, don't give me that, if you don't lie, you can't be a politician, something liberals seem to forget.
takeda.shingen.1991@gmail.com
Irrelevant. Since he found out about the bounties, what has he done?
This isn't about Biden. Or Democrats. Or anything else. It's about Donald cowering to Vladimir Putin. Donald has time to tweet white power videos, but is too scared to confront Putin.

Yep, the Russians had put bounties on the heads of our troops in Afghanistan - and Trump has known about it for months - and has done nothing. Putin encourages the Taliban to murder our troops - and Trump doesn't say or do a thing.
Quite the opposite, he cheers Putin and tries to convince our allies to let Russia back in to the G7.
Is there any more evidence needed to show Dancing Donald is nothing but Putin's Puppet?
One thing that was confirmed this week - when Trump calls Bolton a "wacko and liar", and when he calls Biden a "traitor", he's merely looking in the mirror...
takeda.shingen.1991@gmail.com
I don't know if he's a "puppet," but I'm willing to bet Donald hasn't given up on the Moscow Tower project
stormcrow
Who's surprised? These are the same people who murder its citizens with radioactive poisons in foreign countries.
The really sad part is that Trump has probably been aware that his bosom buddy, Putin, has been doing this, yet chose to look the other way and ignore it. That is truly sad.
November can't come soon enough.
bass4funk
I just outlined them for you, I really don't like repeating myself.
Yeah, it is, because they're the ones that claim they can re-institute law and order. What a joke that is on its face.
He didn't, but again, if you have proof or know something the Senate doesn't, please share it with us, we can keep a secret.
And Biden thinks he's black that's why he scolds them, hoping they don't remember how many people he sent up the river.
Oh, here we go again. Lol

...and you "know" all this because the New York Times claims an unidentified person told them to.
Are you in the market for a bridge in Brooklyn?

That's OK! Mr.Putin is everyone's friend! He wont do such thing to friends!
