And the @nytimes story tonight on the information reportedly briefed to the president with no response, not even a diplomatic warning. Incredible. https://twitter.com/EricSchmittNYT/status/1276604655204794368
If this is true, then it’s even worse: credible threats to Americans are not being briefed to Trump? Why not? Are they kept out of the PDB? Is this word play on “briefed” meaning it was in the PDB but he didn’t read it? What else isn’t he reading about? https://twitter.com/nickschifrin/status/1277010241125785601?s=21 https://twitter.com/nickschifrin/status/1277010241125785601
UPDATE: “Russian bounties offered to Taliban-linked militants to kill coalition forces in Afghanistan are believed to have resulted in the deaths of several U.S. service members.” Yet our Commander-in-Chief attacks the press and says nobody told him? https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/russian-bounties-to-taliban-linked-militants-resulted-in-deaths-of-us-troops-according-to-intelligence-assessments/2020/06/28/74ffaec2-b96a-11ea-80b9-40ece9a701dc_story.html
