Moet je toch eens voorstellen hoe de trumpsupporters (nationaal conversvatieven, patriotten, etc) hadden gereageerd als dit precies het zelfde was gebeurt bij Obama (een progressieve democratische zwarte president).....

- bewezen inmengen van Rusland bij het wennen van de verkiezingen
- beschuldigd worden van het niet horen van het trofeeschieten van amerikaanse soldaten, en of het niet reageren op het gegeven. Vervolgens er gewoon stil over blijven en gewoon geen stelling nemen tegen Rusland of beloven het uit te zoeken en bij positief actie te ondernemen.
- oh ja en dan alleen een paar democratische senatoren uit nodigd om het een ander uit te leggen.

Dat laatste is niet juist, er zijn alleen 7 Huis Republikeinen uitgenodigd, geen enkele Democraat. Pelosi en Schumer willen dat iedereen in het Congres geinformeerd wordt.

White House briefs Republicans on Russian bounties

Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are calling for all lawmakers to be briefed, not just GOP members.

Dat weet ik, denk dat de republikeinen geen enkel probleem zouden hebben als ze 7 GOP alleen uit zouden nodigen, door Obama

Maar stel je nu voor dat Obama in de zelfde situatie alleen maar Democraten zou uitnodigen... hoe zouden de trumpperts reageren.... zouden ze accepteren dat het een kwestie is van landsbelang?

American officials provided a written briefing in late February to President Trump laying out their conclusion that a Russian military intelligence unit offered and paid bounties to Taliban-linked militants to kill U.S. and coalition troops in Afghanistan, two officials familiar with the matter said.

The investigation into the suspected Russian covert operation to incentivize such killings has focused in part on an April 2019 car bombing that killed three Marines as one such potential attack, according to multiple officials familiar with the matter.

The new information emerged as the White House tried on Monday to play down the intelligence assessment that Russia sought to encourage and reward killings — including reiterating a claim that Mr. Trump was never briefed about the matter and portraying the conclusion as disputed and dubious.

But that stance clashed with the disclosure by two officials that the intelligence was included months ago in Mr. Trump’s President’s Daily Brief document — a compilation of the government’s latest secrets and best insights about foreign policy and national security that is prepared for him to read. One of the officials said the item appeared in Mr. Trump’s brief in late February; the other cited Feb. 27, specifically.

Moreover, a description of the intelligence assessment that the Russian unit had carried out the bounties plot was also seen as serious and solid enough to disseminate more broadly across the intelligence community in a May 4 article in the C.I.A.’s World Intelligence Review, a classified compendium commonly referred to as The Wire, two officials said.

A National Security Council spokesman declined to comment on any connection between the Marines’ deaths and the suspected Russian plot. The White House press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, did not answer when pressed by reporters on Monday whether the intelligence was included in the written President’s Daily Brief, and the security council spokesman pointed to her comments when asked later about the February written briefing.

Late Monday, John Ratcliffe, the recently confirmed director of national intelligence, issued a statement warning that leaks about the matter were a crime.

“We are still investigating the alleged intelligence referenced in recent media reporting, and we will brief the president and congressional leaders at the appropriate time,” he said. “This is the analytic process working the way it should. Unfortunately, unauthorized disclosures now jeopardize our ability to ever find out the full story with respect to these allegations.”

quote:

In hundreds of highly classified phone calls with foreign heads of state, President Donald Trump was so consistently unprepared for discussion of serious issues, so often outplayed in his conversations with powerful leaders like Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Erdogan, and so abusive to leaders of America's principal allies, that the calls helped convince some senior US officials -- including his former secretaries of state and defense, two national security advisers and his longest-serving chief of staff -- that the President himself posed a danger to the national security of the United States, according to White House and intelligence officials intimately familiar with the contents of the conversations.

The calls caused former top Trump deputies -- including national security advisers H.R. McMaster and John Bolton, Defense Secretary James Mattis, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, and White House chief of staff John Kelly, as well as intelligence officials -- to conclude that the President was often "delusional," as two sources put it, in his dealings with foreign leaders. The sources said there was little evidence that the President became more skillful or competent in his telephone conversations with most heads of state over time. Rather, he continued to believe that he could either charm, jawbone or bully almost any foreign leader into capitulating to his will, and often pursued goals more attuned to his own agenda than what many of his senior advisers considered the national interest.
