A national security official I know and trust pushes back on the way the briefing/ODNI story is being told, and others with firsthand knowledge agree with his assessment. What's been articulated in the news is that the intelligence community has concluded that the Russians are trying to help Trump again. But the intelligence doesn't say that,” the official says...
“The problem is Shelby" -- Pierson, the elections threats executive in the intelligence community -- "said they developed a preference for Trump. A more reasonable interpretation of the intelligence is not that they have a preference, it's a step short of that.... It's more that they understand the president is someone they can work with, he's a dealmaker. But not that they prefer him over Sanders or Buttigieg or anyone else. So it may have been mischaracterized by Shelby" at the House Intel briefing last week...
"And by the way,” the official says, “both Democrats and Republicans were challenging this at the briefing."
Then there’s the matter of the tense meeting between President Trump and erstwhile Acting Director of National Intelligence Admiral Maguire... “The President was upset that he had to hear about an intelligence conclusion from a Member of the House Republicans rather than from the intelligence community. So he was out of joint with Maguire on that process."
None of this disputes that Trump desires to replace those who have Intel expertise with partisan loyalists, or dismisses the larger issues and concerns about Russia and how the president seeks help from abroad. Just that there seems to be more to this particular story.
So bottom line... there is literally no actual evidence that the Russians are attempting to manipulate the 2020 election in favor of Trump. Nor did Trump fire anyone because of this particular assessment getting out. The only thing that intelligence suggests is that Russia is looking to get involved in the election again (well duh). Moreover, the reason the President fired Maguire was because he was not keeping the President in the loop on issues that were making their way (albeit incorrectly) to the NY Times prior to making their way to him. I would fire this person too for that very reason.
It's little more than like the 250th fake NYT news story attacking the President. Not sure why anyone takes the Times any more seriously than the National Enquirer anymore.

Honestly I don't understand liberal press and their hate for Trump and now Sanders.
"MSNBC contributor and editor at “The Root,” Jason Johnson said 2020 presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) was the favorite candidate of “racist, liberal whites.”
Johnson also said some of Sanders’ staffers are from the “island of misfit black girls,” during an interview on Thursday’s broadcast of Sirius XM’s “The Karen Hunter Show.”
Fucking dipshit spawn should deep throught his 7mm!!!!! And the rich get what ever they want....wanton killing without a thought!!!! The slurpers will swallow!!!!!

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Reuters) - Donald Trump Jr. has been granted the right to hunt a grizzly bear in northwestern Alaska near the Bering Sea town of Nome, a state official said on Friday.
The son of U.S. President Donald Trump was one of three people who applied for 27 spots for non-resident hunters targeting grizzlies in a designated region of northwestern Alaska's Seward Peninsula, said Eddie Grasser, the wildlife conservation director for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.
The state conducts periodic drawings for permits to hunt bears, caribou, moose and other animals in various regions. Winners are chosen by a lottery, and there are typically many more applications than hunting tags awarded.
"We get thousands of applications," Grasser said. Whether anyone wins, he said, comes down to "pure chance, luck of the draw."
But in the case of the bear-hunt permit that the president's son won, there was little competition. Twenty-four tags for hunting bears in that region went unclaimed, Grasser said.
Winners of the state's latest hunting-permit drawings were announced on Friday.
To follow through with the Nome-area bear hunt, Trump must pay a $1,000 non-resident tag fee and buy a $160 non-resident hunting license, Grasser said.
The president's eldest son is an avid hunter and has made several trips to hunt in Alaska and Canada.
Alaska Thrives on Tourism and oil.
. there is literally no actual evidence that the Russians are attempting to manipulate the 2020 elec
BWAAAAAAAA!!!!! And there is no evidence that you Lil Schitty have a working brain!!!!!!!!! Of course it is fake news because your fraud Donnie says so!!!!!

Sad you hate America that you are wiling to let trump usurp your life to stupidity!!!!!
And the goat fucker thrives on sucking trumps dick......BWAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
Why does Doopie want to hurt the people of Alaska?
The core of Alaska's Economy .
"Alaska's present-day economy is based on oil production, fishing, federal and state (both civilian and military) expenditures, research and development, and tourism."
Denny is very oral.
And you cramps are extremely fixated on being stupid !!!!!
Yep goat fucker....Alaska is ass backwards as you are,......BWAAAAAAAAA!!!! Dependent on handouts from the rich and oil companies.....god you are stupid!!!!!
Okie your attempts at name calling is mute.
The issue you run from is the working people of Alaska in part depend on the 100's of millions of Dollars Tourism brings in to keep them financially fit.
The Great State of Alaska and the Federal government regulates hunts to assure the population of the Bears is healthy.
$2.42 Billion in Tourism a year.
The blue collar hard working men and woman are depended in part on those dollars to support their dream of living in the Great State of Alaska .
Hey goat fucker your opinion is as worthless as the land you got for free......BWAAAAAAAAA!!!!! The people of alaska have lived on the hind tit of society for ever....without oil revenue....they'd be destitute!!!!!! Rich assholes killing bears and tourism is not a very good business plan.....!!!!!!
population of the Bears is healthy.
Killing wild life is not healthy for the animals.....you dumb fuck...
It is health for the Animals that do the killing. I can't educate you on everything.

Killing wild life is not healthy for the animals.....you dumb fuck...
that's right dumb fuck.
better to let a deer die a slow, painful and agonizing death by starvation due to a brutal winter vs. me dropping it instantly and humanely with a single shot.
Of course it is fake news because your fraud Donnie says so!!!!!
actually in this case it's Jake Tapper relying on every source on the intelligence committee other than the moron who is spreading the fake news.
Trump has nothing to do with this being fake news!
GDP per capita: $44,174

And it costs about $250K to buy a house in Alaska, it's over a Million in many places in California. I'll bet someone survives way better on $44K in Alaska than someone does making 75K in Anaheim county or the bay area.

Source familiar w/house briefing @CBSNews
says briefers pressed for evidence to back up claims Russia “trying to help POTUS in 2020.” Asked if there was signals intelligence - such as phone intercepts or “SIGINT” - to back up claims, source said briefers had none to offer #DNI

Yep, rugged individualism . Hunt, fish, trap. Use high tunnel greenhouses and of course barter.

shut up fuckstick, before you stroke out for the 4th time.
As Walter Russell Mead wrote in 2017:
"If Trump were the Manchurian candidate that people keep wanting to believe that he is, here are some of the things he’d be doing:
Limiting fracking as much as he possibly could
Blocking oil and gas pipelines
Opening negotiations for major nuclear arms reductions
Cutting U.S. military spending
Trying to tamp down tensions with Russia’s ally Iran."
“Yep,” I noted in December. “You know who did do these things? Obama. You know who supports these things now? Democrats.”
