"Chaotic yet Sleepy Biden knew about the bounty, and they STILL demanded that Putin be invited to the G-7 summit! I'm not projecting!"
Haha yeah, prolly

Whenever he says “everyone is denying it” or “everyone says the crowd was huge” or “everyone thinks (fill in the blank)”, it’s because he (1
only hires Yes Men who tell him he right and fires anyone who gives him perspective. It has to be fake news cause everyone says he’s right!
Ana5ta51a
As if the "president" wouldn't know.
natachan
He probably realised his mate Putin wouldn't like it and it wouldn't work in his favour if they can't interfere in the election in Nov
newpotatocaboose67
All newspapers should now have ironic quotes around the ‘president’ until we have someone with at least an iota of competence

Ah yeah, the old "Where's Hunter?" bit. I remember when that was his go-to back in...wait a sec, this tweet is from yesterday. Goddamnit.

If Russia's goal was to destabilise the USA as a world leader, it seems to be working a charm. Reverse perestroika on the Americans?

What's worse Trump either A) Not listening when briefed, or B) The intelligence community not believing he could be trusted enough to brief?
Ezzybells
Nah, he was briefed, called Putin after to ask him if it was true, Putin said “no”, Trump believed him. Helsinki 2.0
That is very true. I honestly can't answer that
I guess B. because at least A. he could blame it on not having his daily dose of Diet Coke(aine) yet.
RecurringNightmare
there are two more options, for confidential information they coudl decide potus doesnt need to know, and for other stuff they could decide>
>he doesnt need to be bothered with such unimportant things...neither is very liekly in this case though...<<<
NickRivieraMD
why are these the only two options? It's also entirely possible that he did pay attention and just decided not to do anything.
More or less applies to option A, but applies malice and dereliction of duty.
Both pro and con insiders have universally stated that he refuses to "read the daily intel brief" That is appalling to previous WH people
yeah, that doesn't mean he gets no briefing. it means people have to tell him.
PangolinBan
It's absolutely inconceivable, even with this administration, that this kind of information would be witheld from the president. That'd 1/2
2/2 be treason, plain and simple, and too many would know about it for anyone to get away with it.
So option A it is.
I think he pays attention when he hears "Russia" in the briefing. More likely he chose not to act on the info, at least not publicly.
I think that is likely. I was just giving the options that assume Trump isn't lying when he says he didn't know for the Trump supporters.
There are definitely worse options on the table once you start factoring in that he's not telling the truth about what he did/didn't know
hawkhandsaw
He's just confessing to being an out-of-touch commander. Someone who doesn't even read his security briefing. As an executive, what a loser!
Penthesilean
Grease and shit can serve a purpose. Don’t insult them with that kind of association.
This is actually true haha! Damn you really have to be a nitwitted selfish, treasonous, etc. etc. etc. douche-canoe to be seen as less then
shit and grease...
LewdSomnambulist
I'm sure it was in his daily briefing that he doesn't read

Bias is inevitable. It is up the reader to recognize and accept that, and come up with their own conclusions after heavy consideration.

There’s no way this kind of information doesn’t cross his desk. I’m sure he was just too busy tweeting and watching Fox to read the brief
duncandixoncoffee
All while jerking it with his free hand
Beiki
Even assuming he was never told. He's announced no steps to penalize Russia for this.
charlie2979
It's well reported that he doesn't read briefings and likes things condensed.
jm151
IIRC reading that he doesn't really read or pay attention to anything that doesn't keep mentioning his name
FiveShiftOne
Fox said some things he didn't love so he hates them now. Now he only watches the even worse, less factual OANN.
DomeGuy
This SHOULD cross his desk, but the PDB has been reduced to two pages with charts and "Trump" everywhere. It was big for good reasons.
Dinos91
Either he was briefed and didn't pay attention of care, or he wasn't briefed. That last one is almost 100% not the case
Or he was briefed, paid attention and cared, and decided not to do anything.
There's really no scenario that doesn't make Trump look bad here.
IF anything I think that was the worst option, and the most likely.
And if somehow he wasn't briefed, what does that say that the intelligence community didn't think he could be trusted with the information?
ScoundrelPDX
... to have the brief read to him, by someone who explained all the big words.
DavidBrooker
Trump was obviously briefed. But if the DNI wants to clean the blood off Trumps hands, he needs to resign.
hedgehogsinhats
Look upp the current DNI and what he did before taking that position. Especially his position of Trump & Russia, Obama etc. It's frightening
TheThirstyMoose
Got a tl;dr?
drcookieninja
Lied on resume. Hates illegal migrants. Helped Trump avoid several gov investigations. Publicly staunch supporter. Called Russian probe hoax
camobranson
Obviously. I mean I went there and told him myself!
It doesn't even matter. If the DNI told him - and lied to the press about it - he needs to resign for covering up a scandal. If he 1/2
didn't warn Trump, he was negligent in his role as DNI, and needs to resign. 2/2
Sure, and if he resigns people on here will say Trump only did it to cover up that he was told. It doesn't matter what happens anymore.
pseudomanitou
When you say, Trump was briefed, I'm also aware Trump has the attention span of a gnat - even in world threatening updates...
georgejimmydoodle
It was certainly in the PDB, but handing a written document to him has the same outcome as handing one to a corpse.

DetectiveSloth
Roberts wasn't picked by Trump. And he was a total doormat during the impeachment trial. He had the opportunity to 1/2
bar certain politicians from the jury for working with Trump on his defense and failed to. He also could have issued more orders.
Roberts is GWB appointee, not DJT. Gorsuch meh. Kavanaugh as bad as expected.
Ah fuck thank you for correcting me. I literally woke up, saw the good news and swapped over to browse memes to not read anything else.
No worries! I hadn't seen the news, so some good news for me, plus I don't have to credit DJT with accidentally doing something good.
