So About This Russian Bounty Thing

Turn it around. Let us say Russia had decided to end the narco-state in Mexico and for whatever reason we could not militarily stop them. You think we would not do the same thing or something similar? It is important to remember that Afghanistan borders Russia.
Personally I doubt the story is true, but if it is it is not particularly shocking to me. More like business as usual.

So the intelligence community briefed a congressman but not the president?

No one "briefed" Adam Schitt. He is constantly digging for anything he can twist into a pretzel to go after Trump with. There are traitors in government who try to help him do that. Just like the Russian conspiracy fraud, he knew there was nothing to it, but he waited for the traitors to build it into a big scandal. He is complicit in yet another act of sedition.
The intelligence community didn't do squat. They are on record saying it's not even true. Schitt is a traitor, and so is the anonymous person(s) who gave him this unproven rumor.

That's what Hemingway is implying.
But, ever if they did brief both, why did Schiff not do anything?
If he had put any credence in the briefing and he thought Trump had also been briefed, he would have been on it like flies on Schiff.
The whole thing doesn't pass the sniff test.

Well, well, well....
Reports that a Russian military intelligence unit offered bounties on coalition soldiers in Afghanistan are based partially on old information that surfaced more than a decade ago, international intelligence sources said. The sources include both Western-based analysts and front line personnel on the ground in South Asia.
Many of the sources spoke to Just the News via encrypted communications, and insisted that their names not be revealed because their lives are at risk.
“The only thing new about this story is the date on the headline,” one South Asian contact said. “This is old information, going back to Obama days and before. Everyone who has been involved in Afghanistan heard this a long time ago.”
Reports of an alleged deal between the Taliban and Russia’s military intelligence directorate, the GRU, leaked last week, leading to public outrage on many fronts. President Donald Trump has said the claims likely are fabricated, and Democrats in particular have accused Trump of siding with Moscow to deny the truth.
No one definitively has determined, though, what the truth is in this situation.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

I agree that this story is not something that needs to be worried about.

Oh we do. The NYT said it was worrisome and we need to validate this oft quoted source of news that has devolved to op/ed.

Bad op-ed.

Here's the front page of today's New York Times. Tell me there's no bias in their reporting of what they consider "The News."
