NYT Finds Themselves in a Blunder Over Their Botched Russia-Taliban Story

Members of the American intelligence community have concluded that members of the Russian intelligence unit offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants if they successfully killed members of the American military, the New York Times reported. The problem, however, is that almost everyone involved in this story says it isn't true. The White House, Russia and even the Taliban have said the Times' story is false.

According to the anonymous source that spoke to the Times, the Russians intending "to destabilize the West or take revenge on turncoats, had covertly offered rewards for successful attacks last year."

The source claimed that President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence were briefed on the situation and the National Security Council discussed it back in March.

Dmitry Peskov, the Press Secretary for Russian President Vladimir Putin, said the country had no diplomatic complaints on record.

“If someone makes them, we’ll respond,” Peskov told the Times.

In the Times' piece, the Taliban's spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, said the terrorist organization had no "such relations with any intelligence agency." He labeled the accusation as an attempt to "defame" the group.

“These kinds of deals with the Russian intelligence agency are baseless — our target killings and assassinations were ongoing in years before, and we did it on our own resources,” Mujahid explained. “That changed after our deal with the Americans, and their lives are secure and we don’t attack them.”

The most telling part of the article included absolutely zero details:

Ask KellyAnne.

There are way too many red flags to not be asking her.

The DOJ needs to take a serious look at this. NYTimes. “U.S. intelligence operatives.” Lincoln Project. Leaks and lies and a coordinated coup attempt.


The coupists have a green light from the GOP Senate to launch their ops. There will be no Congressional oversight supportive of POTUS. To this day coupists Vindman and Ciaramella continue their careers without being held accountable for their actions.

How did Rick Wilson, George Conway and John Weaver KNOW about the story in advance to produce a full pro-level ad at a time when neither CNN nor NBC News were even covering it yet?

The most likely explanation is the Lincoln Project scum are the anonymous sources for The story.

There has to be some way George Conway learns of these stories. Lots of questions need to be asked.

Yes, the Liberal Media put this out there only to stir up the fools. And they bought it, hook, line and sinker.

Liz Cheney and her lying father are Deep Staters to the core. How many times have the NY Times reported things in error and never once apologized or retracted their bogus reports?!

The Slimes lied. IOW, it is in no more of a bind than it is EVERY OTHER DAY.
