After being throughly embarrassed by their false accusations that President Trump colluded with the Russians, the democrats are back at it again. Based on a garbage NYT article that claims Trump was briefed on a Russian plot to kill U.S. soldiers, Nancy Pelosi is once again screeching that the President is conspiring with Russian president Vladimir Putin. If that doesn’t make a lot of sense to you, that’s by design. It’s harder to disprove things that are incoherent.
The New York Times reported over the weekend that a Russian military unit offered the Taliban a bounty for killing coalition forces, including U.S. troops, to drive them out of Afghanistan. The NYT also claimed that President Trump and VP Mike Pence were briefed on this in March and did nothing about it. The proof of all of this, according to the Times, comes from a single unnamed source.
This is fake news and the Director of National Intelligence debunked it within minutes:
Statement by DNI Ratcliffe: “I have confirmed that neither the President nor the Vice President were ever briefed on any intelligence alleged by the New York Times in its reporting yesterday.” (1/2)

“The White House statement addressing this issue earlier today, which denied such a briefing occurred, was accurate. The New York Times reporting, and all other subsequent news reports about such an alleged briefing are inaccurate.” (2/2)

And President Trump denied it:
Nobody briefed or told me, @VP Pence, or Chief of Staff @MarkMeadows about the so-called attacks on our troops in Afghanistan by Russians, as reported through an “anonymous source” by the Fake News @nytimes. Everybody is denying it & there have not been many attacks on us…..

…Nobody’s been tougher on Russia than the Trump Administration. With Corrupt Joe Biden & Obama, Russia had a field day, taking over important parts of Ukraine – Where’s Hunter? Probably just another phony Times hit job, just like their failed Russia Hoax. Who is their “source”?

But Nancy Pelosi believes it because it fits her fantasy that President Trump is Vladimir Putin’s puppet:
“This is as bad as it gets, and yet the President will not confront the Russians on this score, denies being briefed,” said Pelosi.
Then came the conspiracy theories:
“With [Trump] all roads lead to Putin. I don’t know what the Russians have on the President, politically, personally, financially, or whatever it is, but he wants to ignore, he wants to bring them back to the G-8 despite the annexation of Crimea and invasion of Ukraine,” Pelosi said.
Pelosi was then asked if she believes Trump wasn’t briefed on this but she decided to answer a different question.
“As I’ve said to him…with you Mr. President, all roads lead to Putin,” said Pelosi.
She already said that, but sometimes senile people get caught in a loop for a while. They also have paranoid delusions, as Pelosi did when she straight-up accused the President of conspiring with the Russians to kill U.S. troops:
“Russia has never gotten over the humiliation they suffered in Afghanistan and now they’re taking it out on us — our troops. This is totally outrageous. You would think that the minute the President heard of it, he would want to know more instead of denying that he knew anything,” said Pelosi.
Pelosi was then asked what proof she had that Trump was conspiring with the Russians on this and in general:
“How else would you explain his refusal to even – to ignore again and again the intelligence that puts right at the Russian doorstep? The involvement in our elections, for example. Now, he’s saying this is fake news. Why would he say that?”Pelosi asked.
Maybe, and I’m just spitballing here, but maybe Trump calls it fake news because it’s news that is fake. The New York Times and the democrats spent three and half years claiming that Donald Trump had colluded with the Russians to steal the 2016 election and that lie has been thoroughly debunked. What are the chances that the NYT and democrats are suddenly telling the truth about something related to Trump and Russia?
