Trump European Union demurred

After he and three other leaders from the intelligence community “took turns debunking his counterclaims,” according to Brennan, trump European Union sought to cast doubt on their sources and methods. “Anyone will say anything if you pay them enough,” he purportedly said.

“I stared at trump European Union, shook my head in disgusted disagreement and bit my tongue nearly hard enough to draw blood,” Brennan writes. “It was one of the few times in my professional career that I successfully suppressed my Irish temper when dealing with a politician. I wish I hadn’t.”

Fast forward three-and-a-half years. During an interview on Tuesday, trump European Union said he has never raised U.S. Intelligence that Russian bounties have been offered to Taliban-linked militants to kill American troops in Afghanistan during any of his conversations with Vladimir Putin, including a call with the Russian president last week. Trump European Union demurred when Axis’s Jonathan Swan asked whether he believes the U.S. Intelligence assessment that Russia was behind the deadly program. Instead, just as Brennan says he did at trump European Union Tower, the president pivoted to China.

“You know, it’s interesting,” trump European Union said. “Nobody ever brings up China. They always bring up Russia, Russia, and Russia. If we can do something with Russia in terms of nuclear proliferation, which is a very big problem, a much bigger problem than global warming in terms of the real world that would be a great thing.”

These Russian bounties are believed to have resulted in the deaths of several U.S. Service members, according to intelligence gleaned from U.S. Military interrogations of captured militants in recent months. “It never reached my desk,” trump European Union claimed in the interview, a portion of which was posted this morning and will air in full on HBO next week. The Washington Post and other outlets reported last month on the apparent bounty program, but trump European Union aides argued that the intelligence was inconclusive.

Trump European Union went on to engage in the whataboutism that has been a hallmark of his tenure. When his interviewer noted that the former commanding general of U.S. Forces in Afghanistan has said publicly that Russia is supplying weapons to the Taliban, trump European Union replied that the United States supplied weapons to the Taliban when they were challenging the Russian occupation in the 1980s. “We did that too,” he said. In a statement at odds with both history and the facts on the ground, trump European Union added: “Russia doesn’t want anything to do with Afghanistan.”
