White House Learned Of Russian Bounty Intelligence In Early 2019 | NBC Nightly News
Trump was too busy golfing in February to read a briefing…
He’s too busy tweeting ! The laziest and dumbest President ever !!!
Just like Bush was too busy chilling in some classroom when planes were hitting Twin Towers.
@Cannabis Farmer at least bush was reading…. something our current president doesn’t know how to do… 😬🤪
He did 10 rallies through out Jan and Feb and golfed 6 times. So he ignored this and the virus or tried to.
@Arthur Schnapka We were to busy supporting the KKK democratic Crime bill abortions heroes of America our Brothers the Democratic honest brothers. My bad I forgot my name Mr Biden.
If the PDB didn’t have pictures he most likely have not read it. And Biden is right, it’s a dereliction of duty and as President whose main responsibility is to protect Americans, he should be held accountable.
I saw a report a few months ago that writers included Trump’s name as much as possible in briefings because he looked for his name and it would keep his attention to read more. Trump knows now but still hasn’t come out to condemn the idea of a foreign country putting a bounty on US soldiers.
Trump received a written brief. Trump’s failure to do anything is proof of his incompetence.
@Nadal Alexandre did you really have to say it?
@manny2fs ?
@Nadal Alexandre smh nevermind
@Avon Danielle I would if it was a threat on US soldiers that possibly lead to some deaths. The bigger issue is his failure to act. He still hasn’t condemned the idea of Russia (or any country) putting a bounty on soldiers
@Avon Danielle lolololol what? i’d remember if i read that there was a bounty on americans heads
They’re going to name a High School after Trump: Adderall High .
COVID High
was it in crayon
Probably Orange.. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
If it was true….how come there were not many deaths of american troops dying in afganistan since 2019?
@Kenneth Wright when they were killed…were they in patrol or off duty?
Chito Juinio you’re always on duty in a war zone
@Kenneth Wright if that’s the case…in a war….casualties are always expected.
@Chito Juinio I don’t trust anyone in our government…. really
@Paula Witmer You know what….it should be the fake media that you should not trust.
Another Russia troll hoax… When you play hoax again and again only idiots believe it

They do know that P. Chump can not read, correct? I would think they would give him his daily briefings using the Audible App. But even with that, his attention span is shorter than a fifth-graders hopped up on sugar.
Put this piece of s*** in Handcuffs right now
Trump must be taken out one way or another..
Pence just as complicit. Don’t let him get off scot free either.
If you want to know the truth listen to the full press conference and more reliable
news sources. This news source has a narrative they wish to
influence people’s perceptions based on political agendas.
Just because they report what you don’t want to hear doesn’t mean it’s not news. We should all watch as many different news briefings as possible. There is an election coming up and a pandemic killing people. Duh
Knowledge is power.
@Shellie Wolske Yeah even Fox News is talking about it. From what I heard they also attacked Republicans. 😅
Lies , Lies & More Lies.
Biden finally taking a leadership role. His last two speeches shows me he’s on the right track and could be the man to get America through covid and the economy crisis. Ya know it always takes a Democratic President to clean up a Republican Presidents economic messes.
Every single time. And republican voters are stupid enough to let a republican ride the wave of a democrat and then “right on queue” fuq the entire country up. And the cycle repeats itself.
@Run Ronaldo Run #THEBESTINTHEWORLD but Biden is not a compulsive liar, nor a major national security threat to this nation. Trump is!!
@Tourus Stanley Yeah Republicans are gonna blow it and they know it too. Are you also tried of them breaking the economy?.
To bad you can’t understand the first 3 seconds of what he said !
#BIDEN🇺🇸
SUSAN GORDON former National Security Deputy did not resign until August ’19. Her job to bried or try to brief The Don. She has couple interesting interviews. Given her background and level of professionalism you can be sure she told tRump.
I am speechless.
Again
and again and again and again and……………………………………..
@elaine denardis ugh
Can Trump even read?
Only at a 5th grade level….
Wow trump is now a marine killer, just pathetic
I did not vote for Trump but comments like yours and this ridiculous “story” is insult on free thinkers, and us is milions..
@Ivan 123 what?
they keep a lot of secrets, nothing new
The Russians, the Russians! I see Russians everywhere!😂
Trump was too busy golfing in February
I guess Trump saw that NASCAR was doing bounties for the Truck Series and thought about giving a Bounty to his Russian friends. 😅😅
Biden reminds me of Forest Gump movie, “his back is crooked as a politician!” Lol

holy troll
He was too busy tweeting: Lock her up
Welp, RIP Republicans. I never count my eggs before they hatch. But you just lost the military, and a lot of old white guys. I would say im sorry… But you were warned. You were warned so many times, from so many people, in so many different ways. You destroyed your party for a generation, for what… A couple of feet of crappy wall in the desert, Supreme Court judges that actually end up upholding the constitution… Which isn’t in your favor. The court’s keep telling this administration, that what they are asking for is either unconstitutional, or has no legal basis. You’d think you people would catch a hint. What You’re asking for is wrong. You’re wrong. The Gop has been wrong on too many issues to be a viable party. You aren’t even making educated guesses anymore. You’re just doing what one man says. No matter what. Even if it kills you. Apparently Trump supporters are ok with that arithmetic…
You better cheat this November. History will not be kind to you. Your only chance of not being remembered for the feckless lemmings you so happily became, is to spin your own historical tale.
One day understanding how the Gop imploded before the eyes of the nation, during unprecedented times will be required reading. You failed all of 🇺🇸
Republicans are gonna blow it and know it as well. Lots of examples of that.
True words from an American Patriot!
@Run Ronaldo Run #THEBESTINTHEWORLD At this point it seems like they’re trying to lose. Here’s to better times…
The People demand the immediate Resignation of Donald Trump!
“He now has been”?
Just like his failure to act soon enough on the Pandemic, he stays incompetently consistent with these bounties on American soldiers.
And his failure now to lead with covid surging in more than half of the states. smh
More proof that Trump is unable to read.
If Trump announced the United States was going to be become part of Russia, his supporters would be 100% behind him. So no, they will never see the light nor is there any line crossed to far. Stop thinking his base will wake up!!!! Also stop making excuses that Donald Trump doesn’t know exactly what he is doing, with everything. Just freaking STOP!!!!
What else do we need to hear.What else do we need for him not to respond too.This is extremely dangerous. WHAT’S NEXT A MISTAKEN MISSLE ON ITS WAY TO AMERICA.
Trump: “Launch retaliatory missiles!”
Guy at switch: “He’s joking, right? Like the bleach thing?”
We all know by now not to believe anything Trump says…he has lied to many times people just dont trust and believe him and his administration
If Biden read briefings given to Obama then Mike Pence should have received the same information. That makes Pence as complicit as Trump. Liz Caney is scolding Russia, but not Trump. Republicans are standing by their man. We have seen this movie. Next scene Fox Conspircy News will feature Kayleigh McEnany. Even Hannity can’t top her lies.
TRE45ON
The president is a treacherous, cowardly, psychopathic, con man.
No Russian ever said I have white privilege.
No one has privilege in Russia except Putin and his cohorts
President says he didn’t know.
“I will never lie to you”
D J Trump
SO WHAT THE ARMY CHIEF OF STAFF..THE AHOLE GENERAL DID…GO ST JOHNS CHURCH FOR A PHOTO OP….GENERAL PLEASE COMMIT HARAKIRI
Russia and China on our heels they are waiting for the right moment if we don’t watch out we will be in hot because of trump
To be fair a lot has happened since February
SPEAK BOLTON OR JUST SAY NOTHING I WOULD NOT BUY HIS BOOK IT WILL BE ALL OVER THE NET FOR FREE DONT SUPPORT BOLTON AND HIS BEHAVIOR
To TOO MANY LIES
Lock him up!,
If you want to know the reliable numbers of covid infections, death and recovery rates
Most reliable sources ‘worldometer US’
Youtube lifestream ‘roylab’
NUMBERS FROM TODAY 1 of July IN THE United States
2727000 confirmed cases
130165 deaths
1140000 recovered
The buck stops with this President. For once can’t he take responsibility?
We killed 15,000 Russian in the 70s and 80s in Afghanistan
There was something called the “Cold War” going on at that time. But don’t tell anybody… it’s a secret.
The same people mujahideen that we were supporting in the seventies and eighties now are the taliban what goes around come back around
The corporate democrats are shameless didn’t we learned from previous investigation psycho trump’s popularity went up Stop this nonsense
From reliable sources right????
Is it important Trump know or not know? If this intelligence is true, then declare war against Russia. If no evidence, US can just say it is true.
There is no excuse for this, period.
This is dereliction of duty. Pure and simple.
Anyone surprised? Russia’s been running things behind the scene for awhile. Their greatest feat was installing a puppet inside the White House.
Members of Congress and the CIA knows about this but they keep lying to the American people Trump is not the only traitor here. tell the people. They know what Putin has on Trump but they refuse to tell the people what they know
Trump was never able to successfully conclude any real estate deals in Russia. However, 63 individuals with Russian passports or addresses have bought at least $98.4 million worth of property in seven Trump-branded luxury towers in southern Florida.
Russian intelligence agents reportedly went to Ireland to inspect undersea cables, and it’s reigniting fears they could cut them and take entire countries offline.-Feb 18, 2020
Putin sends military plane to U.S. with supplies to fight coronavirus after talking with Trump -APRIL 1, 2020
France, England and Russia fought together against Germany.
Iran and Russia are strategic allies and form an axis in the Caucasus alongside Armenia. Moscow and Tehran are also military allies in the conflicts in Syria and Iraq and partners in Afghanistan and post-Soviet Central Asia.
Last month, Russia had sent nearly 1,000 coronavirus testing kits to ex-Soviet states and countries including Iran and North Korea.
The New Realignment Between Russia and the Philippines
For the first time in its history, Manila is seeking Russian assistance to upgrade its defensive capabilities and, potentially, even develop its energy resources in the South China Sea.
China began massive dredging operations to build artificial islands around seven reefs that they claimed as their territory. The artificial islands have been transformed into significant military facilities including three runways that have been used for the deployment of Chinese fighter jets.
Russia and China appear to be increasing their economic, political and military ties amid poor relations with the West.
The Ukrainian military reported intensive movement of troops and equipment from Russia into the separatist-controlled parts of eastern Ukraine
Russian exports to Mexico include: chemical based products, metals, helicopters and ammunition. Mexico is Russia’s third biggest trading partner in Latin America.
Mexico has long-standing military ties with Russia and the Mexican armed forces use an extensive fleet of Russian-made helicopters.
A hypocrite is more dangerous than a dishonest man. A dishonest man deceives and cheats, and a hypocrite betrays and swindles.
“The ignorance of one voter in a democracy
impairs the security of all”
Commander Bonespurs Mcpussygrabber is a Russian puppet. Members of Congress and the CIA knows this but they refuse to tell the people what Putin has on Trump. USA is really a joke😂😂😂
Have you ever asked yourself this simple question?
What is the US mission in Afghanistan? What are the Americans doing 20,000
kilometers from their borders? Why are Americans in Afghanistan? Do Americans want to
bring democracy to Afghans? Exactly what basically doesn’t exist in the United States of America!
Donald is a traitor…
he works for Putin…
Trump is the Trojan Horse used by Vladimir Putin to destroy American Democracy. The 2016 attack on our political system is flourishing in 2020
I’m just here to see how many people will drink more Russia Russia cool-aid. Needless to say, it’s the same idiots that have been proven incorrect now for nearly 4 years straight. Never change liberals you’re ever so entertaining.
Was Hilary Clinton and Joe Biden not in office dearing Benghazi
At bare minimum….you need to believe 80% of what your president say.
what a bunch of lies
Next time do not elect a child. A child in Chief doesn’t know how to read, this petulant clown is interested in playing around
this news is not nice, and i don’t even live in United States. gringos ! yankees !! do something !
Does the vice president gets to read the same PDB as well? Then Pence is also complicit, isn’t he?
What about the time that a man was left behind, was that part of this?
People may feel inadequate, not enough. They feel that they are not enough for others, which may make them feel useless, like broken things. They feel that they have no utility anymore because they feel dispirited.

OBAMA’s PRAVDA.
Like this is news WTF. DJT doesn’t care about any American but himself. Why is this such a big deal. Even if it is true who cares. Putin is running the world and the US Military is not able to win a chess match. What can the US do even if it’s true. Zero. We have been doing ZERO on Covid-19 and everything else we spend US tax dollars on. We’ll be eating with Chopsticks or drinking Vodka in six months time anyways
Trump: “The Russians and the Taliban have very fine people on both sides”
This stupid lying mouth will not last long.
Amazing fiction! It would be worth a second listen, if it had to do with Syria, where Russian forces were invited but US forces are trespassing. @DNC your lies are getting worse and worse!
7/1/2020 Dementia Joe Biden Says He Will Reverse Trump’s Tax Cuts
Joe Biden told Wall Street donors to his campaign that he planned to reverse most of President Donald Trump’s tax cuts.
“I’m going to get rid of the bulk of Trump’s $2 trillion tax cut,” Biden said during a fundraising conference call, Fox Business Network reported. “And a lot of you may not like that but I’m going to close loopholes like capital gains and stepped-up basis.”
The former vice president said he would raise the corporate tax rate from 21 percent to 28 percent, which he estimated would raise taxes by $1.3 trillion over the next decade, FBN reported.
Trump isn’t a man who looks to the future. He looks to the past and hyperfocuses on the present.
Other term for that: Lazy
Happy 4th of July! Veterans for Trump 2020!
Traitor Trump
kaaaaaaaayliegh macarena
The Democrat Party is a party of *Hoaxes.*
The Russian Bounty Hoax. The Russia Collusion Hoax.
Hands Up Don’t Shoot Hoax. Justice Kavanaugh Hoax.
Jussie Smollett Hoax. Covington High School Hoax.
The Earth has 12 Years Left Hoax. Charlottesville Hoax.
I think they should impeach Trump for colluding with Russia. Wait! They already tried that.
Trump is a known LIAR. Don’t believe a word that comes out of his entire administration without fact checking first, not even for the weather report.
#DumpComradeTrump and #DitchMoscowMitch!
Yet the republican politicians are in lock step with the president so nothing will come of this as always . USA USA USA 🇺🇸
Maybe if they tweet the intelligence briefings….he might read those.
The whole Trump team are proving traitors to their own country. TRAITORS DESERVE EITHER DEATH OR JAIL..
