Watching her press conferences, is like watching a first grade classroom and the children keep asking the teacher, the same questions over and over again.

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:

This has been reported in most news outlets. And I’m sorry but the idea that people on this forum are taking the word of Vladimir Putin and the Taliban at face value is shocking. Seriously. WTF is going on around here? Did someone spike the water at FR with acid?

Somethings the Russians and the Taliban would not lie about.
1)Responsibility of killing American troops. Particularly when the President’s intelligence advisor is also saying there is no validity in the story. Nothingburger! Why because you feel we should believe the NY Slimes over everyone else?
The Slimes lies just to keep in practice.
If Bolton had such a secret, it would have been on page 1 of the book. He would have started each of the 'news program' appearances with it, not waited to be asked the question, be non-committal on if it's valid intelligence and then imply that the president is weak for not having heard of the newly made up story, or not acting on it.
Mitt Romney's ticket into the White House hasn't quite been the festival he hoped for.
Yep they do this habitually and alternate with their print cohorts. It runs for weeks and no attention is paid to the small print retraction on wedged on 858th page a month later.
>>The leaks are real, the content is fake<<
Makes one wonder if there are a few smirks on faces this morning knowing that the NYTimes has been punked!
And the media like Gayle King who reported this as fact this morning.
Enemies closer.
See how that works?
Suggesting a longtime FReeper a "mussie"? Really??? What is a 'mussie', btw?
Why the pejorative, n00b?
Fake Noose...................
It is not a simple statement the NYT made here FRiend.
If you accept that this story is true you have to accept that Trump knew about it and did nothing. He said nothing.
See how this works?
Do you honestly believe Trump knew about this and said/did nothing?
None of these stories occur in a vacuum. They are all designed to undermine and destroy Trump. That is all the NYT cares about - they don’t care about anything else.
“Why the pejorative, n00b?”
BECAUSE HE IS TAKING THE WORD OF THE FUCKING TALIBAN AND VLADIMIR “KGB” PUTIN!
If that is considered acceptable here then someone please block me. I was under the impression this was a conservative pro-American website.
Bolton on his never ending crusade to be somebody!!!!

Even if the story were true ... so what? In the spy vs spy world agents are targeted and killed. Nothing new.
Just saw Kayleigh list all the lies the Times got caught in over the last few years.
Just before she closed her book and headed for the door, she said “They ought to give the Pulitzer back.”
I love this woman.
YES!
Rush explained it was a hit meant on Grenell from March that the NYT spiked and then gave it to the 3 Stooges as Dean "NextToBeFired" Baquet pivots back from race (cuz 'defund the police' polls BADLY) to the Russia narrative.
anonymous source meaning the writer made the whole thing up and the media just runs along with it with no fact checking of their own, and saying it is true.
I know. I wonder why he still employs Kellyanne in such a close position to himself with that husband the traitor? I don’t trust her either. Talks too fast.
Georgy Porgy must have a Little Man Complex.
