McEnany claims neither Trump nor Pence knew about this:



They were both briefed in March.

I'd be fine with nuking Moscow, if it were possible that Russia were unable to fire back.
You'd be fine telling other countries "it is acceptable to launch nuclear warheads" and murdering over a million civilians? WOW.

It's the same principle we used for nuking civillians in Hiroshima and Nagisaki, that they were complicit in the government's decision making by allowing that government to rule.
The same dusgusting genocidal principle that has been roundly rejected in the times since then.

So then she's claiming that the CIA are so incompetent and irresponsible that they neglected to inform the POTUS of this? Or is she claiming that Trump and Pence are so incompetent and irresponsible that they refused to be be briefed on something as important as this? Hmmm...

The next time Trump meets with Putin and is asked about this:

"He says they didn't do it!"

I think Susan Rice's hypothesis might serve to answer your questions pretty well.

Yeah, they were made aware of it.
trump and Pence are just trying to squirm their way out of this entire story, by just claiming "we were not told."

60 to 70 year old boomers are going to show up to vote in November for a guy that lets Russia cuck him and America 24/7/365. These are the same exact conservative boomers that wanted to draw and quarter Cold War traitors in the 80s as young Reaganites. Unvelievable.

I really hope that someday we'll find out just what leverage Russia has over Trump.

Well, no, not all of us are going to vote for Trump.  (And fwiw, I was very much a Cold Warrior during that era.)

So the House is impeaching him first thing monday morning, right?

IF true, trump deserves the death penalty for this. I think we have to be at war with a country for this to qualify as treason, so while he may not technically be a traitor by the letter of the law, he is a traitor by the spirit of the law.

That's been known for quite a while. (But it also appear to be fake. I.e. "The Pee Tape" is a thing that exists, but it is quite likely a fabrication.)

I was going to reply with something about how treason is a grave and serious crime, and just staying silent (no matter how awful that is) doesn't really fit the definition. But then I remember we're talking about this POS:


As long as he gets a fair trial before he's sentenced, I think we're good.

This is unreal. Either he knew about it or someone was intentionally withholding it from him.

I do not understand how anyone can continue to defend and vote for him. I wouldn’t say it lightly - voting for Donald Trump is truly anti-American.

The coward Donald Trump was on the phone with Putin a lot right after the time he was reportedly briefed.

Hillary Clinton once sent an e-mail with a small C from an unpreferred server, or something.

Sometimes I think people really understate how much of an enemy Russians are. They straight up are trying to kill our troops. These aren’t our friends.

 The Russians are just repaying the favor, we did the same thing to them in Afghanistan. It's Trump's supplicant behavior towards Russia and Putin that has always been the scandal.
