    It’s not ignoring if you can’t read.

    This is some smart tacticking by the Republicans, this is only a -14 losing issue for the President; the Pandemic, Race relations, and the economic collapsarae are all -20's.

    I somehow missed that even fox news was separately verifying the bounty story...

    Multiple intelligence streams suggest Russians paying bounties for US troops, Trump not briefed: official

    Might said this from the start, since you obviously were not reading just reacting.

    Since Fox is the MSM, we can't believe a word they say.

    You sure claim you don't give a **** a lot but then reply to any and everything.

    That's certainly giving a ****.

    From the link.

    Despite the Pentagon statement, the picture remains murky.

    Fox News reported earlier Monday that multiple intelligence threat streams indicated Russian intelligence operatives did offer bounties to Taliban-linked militants to kill U.S. troops -- but while the National Security Council met recently to come up with a number of responses, it did not brief President Trump.

    A senior U.S. official who has been briefed on the matter said that the information the NSC received was based on “several streams of intelligence of concern” with some of it being contradictory and some open to interpretation.

    A military source said there was a raid in Afghanistan early this year that found a large amount of cash, and a fighter said in a subsequent interrogation the money came from Russia -- but it was not easily verified. Further, it was not a piece of intelligence that made its way into briefings for senior leaders at the Pentagon.

    There are no available public facts for this story. thus, your opinion lacks merit.

    The MSM do have multiple anonymous sources which corroborated the story that they published. Those sources could have conspired to politically damage the POTUS. If that is what you chose to believe, then go for it.

    After three and half years of tsunami of BS, I would hope that you take the POTUS statements for what they are worth.

    Yea there is suggestive evidence maybe but the fact it’s cited as some intel being contradictory and lacking corroboration is telling to me
