So now we have two outlets, the AP and the New York Times, claiming that he was briefed about the matter and another, NBC, claiming that he wasn’t. With a whole bunch of other media outlets silent on the matter, for the moment.
So if you go through all of the media speculation, media drama, and media fake news, what you are left with is very simple. At some point in time, there was raw unverified information that suggested the Russians were offering a bounty for the Taliban and others to kill Americans. However, according to every known source, the information was flimsy, the sourcing was limited, the plot was uncorroborated, and there was no consensus in the intelligence community that there was anything legitimate to the information.
By all logical accounts, top leadership from every state involved only had this information revealed to them recently, as in when the "new stories" broke. While there is an open agreement that some raw intelligence did exist (in some form), there is a firm agreement from everyone involved that this information was never found credible enough to pass along to the President or anyone else up the food chain.
It seems fairly amazing that once again the liberal side of this country is willing to toss aside any and all semblance of logic or common sense and run with a story that quite literally has no proof to suggest it is true. As pointed out by certain intelligence people in our Government, whoever attempted to "leak" information like this either was woefully misinformed as to how intelligence gathering works, or was openly being dishonest. So this person was either stupid or a liar. Take your pick.
Moreover, now we have media disagreement with competing sources that are saying the opposite things. So even our fake news cannot keep this particular story straight. But everyone with any degree of intellectual honesty understands that this is not a legitimate story and the implications demanded with the fake story is little more than dishonest Trump bashing.

at the end of the day, this is simply a continuance of the "russia, russia, russia" bullshit hoax coming at it from a different angle.
the media and the democrats (redundant, I know) aren't that clever, and this will get the usual rubes represented here by the pederast, BWAA and the alky all spun up - AGAIN.
it's become comical at this point to watch these morons fall for shit that is so obviously pure, unadulterated bullshit.
Biden Holds Edge In Missouri
A new Garin-Hart-Yang (D) poll in Missouri finds
Joe Biden leading Donald Trump in the presidential race,
48% to 46%.
EVEN IN MISSOURI?
YES, EVEN IN MISSOURI.
Not looking good in Trump's internal polling, either.
________
So I guess this bounty matter will come down largely to whom you believe.
Trump or Bolton or ...or...or....
It will not help that Trump has repeatedly lied and lied and lied and ... etc., etc., ad infinitum.
Top officials in the White House were aware in early 2019 of classified intelligence indicating Russia was secretly offering bounties to the Taliban for the deaths of Americans, a full year earlier than has been previously reported, according to U.S. officials with direct knowledge of the intelligence.
The assessment was included in at least one of President Donald Trump’s written daily intelligence briefings at the time, according to the officials. Then-national security adviser John Bolton also told colleagues he briefed Trump on the intelligence assessment in March 2019.
It is worth noting that the three New York Times reporters — Charlie Savage, Eric Schmitt, and Michael Schwirtz — also played key roles in disseminating the Russia collusion hoax, in which anonymous intelligence officials worked with co-conspirators in the media for years to put out a false and defamatory narrative that President Donald Trump had colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election or was otherwise compromised. The New York Times was one of the biggest outlets engaged in the Russia hoax. The reporters even include some of their previous Russia collusion hoax spin, and omit key facts about Trump’s actions against Russia, in their bounty story.
Literally nothing about the political media’s use of anonymous sources to spread republic-damaging disinformation in recent years should lead anyone to treat further anonymously sourced reports with any deference. Yet the entire corporate media establishment immediately ran wild with the story and used it to suggest it was further evidence that Trump was an agent of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The story dominated cable news over the weekend and into the following week.
[...]
A quick note on anonymous sourcing. Following the New York Times report, other media outlets ran with stories on the matter also based on anonymous sources. Frequently, this was described as “independent confirmation.”
However, anonymous sources can’t “confirm” anything for a reader, on account of being anonymous. And because they’re anonymous, there is no way to tell if one media outlets’ sources are independent from another’s.
While this should be obvious, perhaps an example from the Russia collusion hoax will help. On Dec. 8, 2017, CNN’s Manu Raju and Jeremy Herb reported that multiple anonymous sources had confirmed an email was sent to Donald Trump, Jr., with advance information about a WikiLeaks document release.
The story was a train wreck, in that it didn’t include any evidence that the random guy who emailed Trump, Jr., was correct in his emailed claims, that the email had been opened, or that the emailer was connected to Russia. But even more than that, it turned out that the multiple anonymous sources had somehow gotten the date of the email wrong. Rather than the email giving advance notice of a WikiLeaks document release, it was an email about a document release that had already happened to great public fanfare.
Before that embarrassing ending for CNN, though, other media outlets claimed to have independently confirmed CNN’s story. CBS claimed to have “confirmed” the story. Russia collusion hoaxer “Fusion” Ken Dilanian claimed “two sources” had confirmed CNN’s report to him.
So what happened? Well, probably two buddies working on a congressional committee both sold the false story to all three outlets. Two buddies working together on a committee that leak the same false information to multiple outlets aren’t independent of each other, much less independent confirmation for each network. They’re just two leakers who somehow aren’t bright enough to know how to properly read dates on emails.

Maybe some journalists realize what a POS their profession has become. Just FAKE NEWS, a lot of which is paid by China. Trying to help the DNC.
Jay Copan was part of the coalition that made Donald Trump president in 2016. Now he’s had enough and plans to send Trump into retirement.
Copan, 68, who lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, considers himself fiscally and socially conservative. A white male and registered independent in a swing state, he has voted Republican in each of the last nine presidential elections. He supports Trump's tax cuts, energy policy and judges. He’s precisely the type of voter that Republicans should be able to win — and cannot afford to lose.
But Copan says he'll vote for Joe Biden this fall.
"At the end of the day I want this to be a better country for my grandkids growing up. And having a president who's a pathological liar, a sociopath, a narcissist, a misogynist and a bully is not the way I want to leave this country," Copan said. "In spite of my views on the issues, I don't see any way I could support him to be president for another four years because of how he’s behaved."
The story also seems to keep changing. At first it was about how Trump had been given airtight intelligence and refused to do anything about it. Then the goalposts shifted to how “White House officials” knew something or other.
An Associated Press story now asserts without evidence that John Bolton, who is on a book tour right now, “told colleagues he briefed Trump on the intelligence assessment in March 2019.” But in a softball interview Sunday by Jake Tapper, a reporter who played a key role in initiating the false Russia collusion hoax at CNN, Bolton repeatedly stressed his lack of knowledge about the story and his suspicion it might not be true.
“First we have to stress there is much we don’t know about this,” he said. “With all due respect to the highly esteemed news services you mention, they get stuff wrong time to time,” he added. “My only caution is before we go too far down the track, just because there are press reports doesn’t mean its accurate.” After a record-breaking use of the word “if” from Tapper, Bolton said, “Well again, underlining the word ‘if’ on whether it’s true…”
It is of course entirely possible that Bolton is leaking to the Associated Press and lying about his views now, or that he was lying then, or that Bolton’s colleagues are leakers and they are lying. But it seems the media aren’t caring about the facts so much as the overarching plan to believe this intelligence is airtight no matter what, that the intelligence was definitely briefed to Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, no matter what, and that this story must continue to be pushed on airwaves no matter its deficiencies or the obvious coordination of its rollout.
Democrats, Media Using Story to Perpetuate Russia Hoax
Most exasperating, the media and other partisans seem eager to run back into the comforting arms of the Russia collusion hoax they perpetrated against the country for years.
Tapper, for example, asked Bolton, “Do you think it’s possible that Putin has information on President Trump?” The New York Times reporters also dredged up the debunked Russia collusion theories. And not coincidentally, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi spent several minutes pushing the debunked Russiagate conspiracy theory in an interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos.
“With him, 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 [Russia] back into the G8 despite the annexation of Crimea and the invasion of Ukraine…despite what they yielded to him in Syria, despite his intervention into our elections which is well documented by our intelligence community and despite possibly this allegation which we should have been briefed on,” Pelosi said.
Pelosi’s pushing of the conspiracy theory met virtually no pushback from the former press secretary to President Bill Clinton. In fact, there has been no accountability for any of the actors who spread the false and damaging conspiracy theory about Russia.
None of the criminal leakers have been held accountable. Neither have the reporters who conspired with them to harm the republic, damage the Trump administration, hurt foreign relations, and destroy the lives of conservatives who allied themselves with Trump.
In fact, they’re free to continue their operation with the latest round of Russia stories, seemingly designed to undermine the Trump administration, hamper foreign policy changes that might lead away from the interventionist foreign policy of recent administrations, and otherwise hurt the country.
It is as if our political and media establishments refuse to learn anything from the weapons of mass destruction and Russia collusion hoax intelligence failures of recent years.

The revelations cast new doubt on the White House’s efforts to distance Trump from the Russian intelligence assessments. The AP reported Sunday that concerns about Russian bounties were also included in a second written presidential daily briefing earlier this year and that current national security adviser Robert O’Brien had discussed the matter with Trump. O’Brien denies he did so.
On Monday night, O'Brien said that while the intelligence assessments regarding Russian bounties "have not been verified,” the administration has “been preparing should the situation warrant action.”
The administration’s earlier awareness of the Russian efforts raises additional questions about why Trump did not take any punitive action against Moscow for efforts that put the lives of Americans servicemembers at risk. Trump has sought throughout his time in office to improve relations with Russia and its president, Vladimir Putin, moving earlier this year to try to reinstate Russia as part of a group of world leaders it had been kicked out of.
Officials said they did not consider the intelligence assessments in 2019 to be particularly urgent, given that Russian meddling in Afghanistan is not a new occurrence. The officials with knowledge of Bolton’s apparent briefing for Trump said it contained no “actionable intelligence,” meaning the intelligence community did not have enough information to form a strategic plan or response. However, the classified assessment of Russian bounties was the sole purpose of the meeting.
The officials insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to disclose the highly sensitive information.
The intelligence that surfaced in early 2019 indicated Russian operatives had become more aggressive in their desire to contract with the Taliban and members of the Haqqani Network, a militant group aligned with the Taliban in Afghanistan and designated a foreign terrorist organization in 2012 during the Obama administration.
The National Security Council and the undersecretary of defense for intelligence did hold meetings regarding the intelligence. The Pentagon declined to comment and the NSC did not respond to questions about the meetings.
Concerns about Russian bounties flared anew this year after members of the elite Naval Special Warfare Development Group, known to the public as SEAL Team Six, raided a Taliban outpost and recovered roughly $500,000 in U.S. currency. The funds bolstered the suspicions of the American intelligence community that the Russians had offered money to Taliban militants and other linked associations.
The White House contends the president was unaware of this development as well.
The officials told the AP that career government officials developed potential options for the White House to respond to the Russian aggression in Afghanistan, which was first reported by The New York Times. However, the Trump administration has yet to authorize any action.
The intelligence in 2019 and 2020 surrounding Russian bounties was derived in part from debriefings of captured Taliban militants. Officials with knowledge of the matter told the AP that Taliban operatives from opposite ends of the country and from separate tribes offered similar accounts.

‘Blood Is On Their Hands’: GOP Lawmaker Blasts NYT After Briefing On Russia-Taliban Bounty Program
https://dailycaller.com/2020/06/29/jim-banks-new-york-times-taliban-russia-afghanistan/
A basic truth about Russian President Vladimir Putin, which President Trump evidently doesn’t understand: Putin is in the payback business. He believes the United States destroyed his former country, the Soviet Union. He likes the United States to feel pain, in Afghanistan and everywhere else.
Trump has his own, much rosier take on Putin. And I can’t help wondering whether that explains why, assuming his account is true, the American president was never briefed about intelligence reports early this year that Russia was offering bounties to Taliban fighters to kill U.S. and coalition troops in Afghanistan. Perhaps Trump’s national security aides were afraid to upset him.
AS THIS CONTINUES TO PLAY OUT, IT WILL BECOME EVER CLEARER WHO 'HAS BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS.'

POLITICO:
Republicans Have Been Skipping Intel Briefings
June 30, 2020 at 8:02 am EDT
“Democrats see a boycott motivated by partisan politics. Republicans argue they have legitimate security concerns,” Politico reports.
“Either way, GOP members of the House Intelligence Committee have skipped all but one of the panel’s proceedings, public and private, since before Congress went into its coronavirus-lockdown in early March. And that impasse shows no signs of ending, even as the panel takes up issues like China, Covid-19 and the annual intelligence policy bill.”
NOT TO MENTION THIS LATEST FIASCO.
No, Bolton is depraved, but even so, more truthful and more principled than Trump.
American officials provided a written briefing in late February to President Trump laying out their conclusion that a Russian military intelligence unit offered and paid bounties to Taliban-linked militants to kill U.S. and coalition troops in Afghanistan.
“The investigation into the suspected Russian covert operation to incentivize such killings has focused in part on an April 2019 car bombing that killed three Marines as one such potential attack.
Either way, he refuses to read the daily intelligence briefings or he just doesn't want to know anything negative about Vladimir Putin.

To be more precise. Yes I did and do say betting sites are more dependable than polls. And I also stated their was a huge bias in both in 2016 against Trump and you need to adjust 2020 numbers to take that bias into account.

Regarding the press conference linked above:
“I find it inexplicable in light of these public allegations that the President of the United States hasn’t come before the country and assured people that he’ll get to the bottom of whether Russians are putting bounties on the heads of troops, and he’ll do everything in his power to protect US troops.”
— House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA), at a press conference.
Schiff: "Unfathomable" Trump would invite Putin to G7 if he knew of Russian bounties
House Intelligence Chair Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said on CNN Monday that it would be "unfathomable" if President Trump knew about intelligence that Russian operatives allegedly paid Taliban-linked militants to kill U.S. troops and still invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to rejoin the G7 summit in September.
Why it matters: Schiff is one of several bipartisan members of Congress who have urged the Trump administration to provide answers in the wake of bombshell media reports about the alleged Russian bounties. He told CNN that he and several other House Democrats will be briefed on the intelligence on Tuesday morning.
What he's saying:
"We also want to look into this issue of whether the president was briefed on this, and if he was not briefed, why that was.
Is this again a concern with speaking truth to power, that Donald Trump doesn't want to hear anything negative about Vladimir Putin? Because, after all, the president was inviting Russia back into the G8, and it's kind of unfathomable that he would do that if he was knowing of the fact that his friend Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin or Russian intelligence services ... were offering a bounty on the heads of American troops."
— Adam Schiff
The big picture: The New York Times first reported last week that Trump and Vice President Mike Pence were briefed on U.S. intelligence that a Russian military spy unit offered secret bounties to Taliban-linked militants for killing U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
Trump says he was not briefed on the issue, writing in a tweet Sunday night that officials did not relay the information to him because "they did not find this info credible."
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany has also denied that Trump and Pence were briefed, and said on Monday that there is "no consensus within the intelligence community on these allegations." She declined to say if the intelligence was included in the President's Daily Brief.
Schiff said that it would not be "sufficient" for intelligence officials to have denied the president a briefing on the information simply because it was inconclusive.
"It's frequently the case that the president will be briefed, should be briefed on matters where there is no absolute certainty about the intelligence on a given topic, and what we expect our intelligence agency leaders to do is say 'Mr. President, we have intelligence that shows X, Y or Z,'" he said.
"If your president is making decisions about the U.S./Russia relationship, which we do all the time, if it goes to the protection of our troops, that's something that needs to be briefed to the commander in chief."
What to watch: Schiff called on the administration to provide a full House briefing and said that congressional hearings are likely.
This is not a molehill, Republicans.
It's a mountain.

“The European Union will open its borders to visitors from 15 countries as of Wednesday, but not to travelers from the United States, Brazil or Russia, putting into effect a complex policy that has sought to balance health concerns with politics, diplomacy and the desperate need for tourism revenue,” the New York Times reports.
So Americans can no longer travel to Europe because Trump's failure to respond adequately or properly to the virus threat, instead downplaying it as did Putin and Bolsanaro of Brazil, has put us on the list with Russia and Brazil to be banned.

Said Fauci: “I can’t make an accurate prediction, but it is going to be very disturbing. I will guarantee you that, because when you have an outbreak in one part of the country, even though in other parts of the country they’re doing well, they are vulnerable.”

WASHINGTON – New coronavirus infections could increase to 100,000 a day if the nation doesn’t get the ongoing surge under control, Dr. Anthony Fauci told Congress Tuesday.
"We’ve really got to do something about that and we need to deal with it quickly," he testified. "It could get very bad."
Fauci, the top infectious disease expert at the National Institutes of Health, said the surge has been caused both by some areas reopening too quickly and by people not following guidelines.
“We've got to get that message out that we are all in this together,” Fauci told the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. “And if we are going to contain this, we've got to contain it together.”

He can't wait to debate the President.

We will see the President ramblings about this next tern. Just like he said to Sean Hannity in the ridiculous interview with easy questions.

It's so obvious that Russia Hoax #2 ("Putin paid bounties!") was just started by the same people who lost all their credibility pushing Russia Hoax #1.
When Democrats put Adam Schiff on stage, they're admitting it's a hoax.
Biden said that the statutes of the Confederate Generals should be placed in the museums.
The states should make that decision.
He also said that the statues of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson should remain in place, because they were not traitorous. They created the country and the Constitution. Even though they were slave holders.

Whatever the dems say you did is what they actually did do.
Disgusting on both Obama's part and the political rush to judgement on the current situation.

Democrats are now openly coming out against Mount Rushmore. At this point--you are either voting for Trump or you are mentally ill.
That sure is the case here
In the aftermath of George Floyd's death at the hands of law enforcement in Minneapolis, and the historic protests there and throughout the USA, these Confederate shrines have come under renewed scrutiny. They shouldn't be removed by vigilantes, but it is time for them to come down, especially those erected during the Jim Crow era as a way to intimidate African American communities.

I have been to Mount Rushmore probably 50 times.
Just because Washington and Thomas Jefferson were slave holders is no reason to take them down.
The fringe people are not representative of the majority of Democrats.
But unfortunately too many people who support Donald Trump are racist rodent bastards who shouted out White Power
The White House staff took three hours to get the President to take down the tweet tirade because he was playing golf.

In 2016, Hillary Clinton ran for president proposing $1 trillion in tax increases. Would President Trump’s blue-collar boom ever have gotten off the ground with such a back-breaking tax burden?
But now, four years later, former vice president Joe Biden thinks he has a better idea. In his third run for the White House, Biden is proposing tax increases of nearly $4 trillion over the next 10 years. If he wins in November and these increases were to pass, they’d be the highest in American history — indeed, in world history.

There has been a long debate about whether the Native Americans should actually own the Black Hills of South Dakota. The pjmedias story was about the Native Americans. They were given the Black Hills area but when gold was found near Lead South Dakota, the government rescinded the ownership agreement.
The White House staff took three hours to get the President to take down the tweet tirade because he was playing golf.
President Obama said he should have known better than to go golfing immediately after speaking about the beheading of an American journalist.
In an interview that aired Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press," Obama said he "should have anticipated the optics" because "part of the job is the theater of it," conceding "it's not something that comes naturally" to him.
Obama was vacationing in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, when Islamic militants released the gruesome video of James Foley, who was brutally killed as a payback for U.S. airstrikes against the terror group ISIS.

Trump has disrespected Native communities time and again. He’s attempted to limit their voting rights and blocked critical pandemic relief. Now he’s holding a rally glorifying white supremacy at Mount Rushmore — a region once sacred to tribal communities.

That's no excuse for the President playing golf while his racist tweets were getting criticized by Republicans like Senator Scott.
I grew up in Rapid City South Dakota and I spent many days in the Black Hills, hiking trails. And hunting deer. I killed my first deer when I was 14.

BREAKING NEWS
The U.S. intercepted financial transfer data that bolstered suspicions about Russian bounties on American troops in Afghanistan, officials say.
Tuesday, June 30, 2020 1:29 PM EST
The disclosures further undercut White House officials’ claim that the intelligence was too uncertain to brief President Trump. In fact, the information was provided to him in his daily written brief in late February, two officials have said.
Anonymous sources tell us the truth about how incapable is Donald J Trump.
https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2020/06/29/white-house-aware-in-2019-of-russian-bounties-on-american-troops-in-afghanistan-officials-say/
The Defense Department identified Marine Staff Sgt. Christopher Slutman, 43, of Newark, Delaware; Sgt. Benjamin Hines, 31, of York, Pennsylvania; and Cpl. Robert Hendriks, 25, of Locust Valley, New York, as the Marines killed in April 2019. The three Marines were all infantrymen assigned to 2nd Battalion, 25th Marines, a reserve infantry unit headquartered out of Garden City, New York.
Hendriks’ father told the AP that even a rumor of Russian bounties should have been immediately addressed.
There has been a long debate about whether the Native Americans should actually own the Black Hills of South Dakota.
The issue was settled in United States v. Sioux Nation of Indians.
The Supreme Court ruled that the Sioux Nation was owed just compensation for the taking of the Black Hills and other lands but title and control of the lands remains with the people of the United States (who now includes members of the Sioux). The Sioux Nation has refused to accept compensation so it remains in their account with the Bureau of Indian Affairs collecting compound interest. It is estimated the compensation is now value at 1.7 billion dollars.
So to say a president of the United States to visit Mount Rushmore or any other part of the black hills when it attracts millions of tourist a year is nothing but divisive, left-wing propaganda.

I'm sure he feels that way, but if you are going to confront Putin with an issue that will trigger a confrontation between nuclear powers you would like to be damn sure you're right.
It's not like we went to war and lost thousands of troops because of a disastrous intelligence failure before.

Oh look the magic negro knew about the “bounties” and did nothing
Republican congressman says he was told Russia was offering bounties to the Taliban to kill U.S. troops when he served in Afghanistan - meaning scandal could go back to 2014
American officials intercepted electronic data showing large financial transfers from a bank account controlled by Russia’s military intelligence agency to a Taliban-linked account, which was among the evidence that supported their conclusion that Russia covertly offered bounties for killing U.S. and coalition troops in Afghanistan, according to three officials familiar with the intelligence.
Though the United States has accused Russia of providing general support to the Taliban before, analysts concluded from other intelligence that the transfers were most likely part of a bounty program that detainees described during interrogations. Investigators also identified by name numerous Afghans in a network linked to the suspected Russian operation, the officials said — including, two of them added, a man believed to have served as an intermediary for distributing some of the funds and who is now thought to be in Russia.
The intercepts bolstered the findings gleaned from the interrogations, helping reduce an earlier disagreement among intelligence analysts and agencies over the reliability of the detainees. The disclosures further undercut White House officials’ claim that the intelligence was too uncertain to brief President Trump. In fact, the information was provided to him in his daily written brief in late February, two officials have said.
Afghan officials this week described a sequence of events that dovetails with the account of the intelligence. They said that several businessmen who transfer money through the informal “hawala” system were arrested in Afghanistan over the past six months and are suspected of being part of a ring of middlemen who operated between the Russian intelligence agency, known as the G.R.U., and Taliban-linked militants. The businessmen were arrested in what the officials described as sweeping raids in the north of Afghanistan, as well as in Kabul.

Wow you are not only a racist, a bigot, a dumb fuck with a big mouth. and worthless!!!!!......Your posit is not only stupid, but typical of weak minded drunks from UGA!!!!!! What could he have done????? The intel guys who had the data were responsible for telling trump!!!!! It turns out the PDB had discussed the bounty, but the fat asse obese white man in chief was too FUCKING lazy to read it or do anything.....THE FISH STINKS FROM THE HEAD DOWN YOU DUMB SHIT!!!!!BTW.....why didn't the other R's who were told do something!!!!!!! Yep.....it is a sprint to hell for you and the fat fuck whose ass you are attached!!!!!!!
Intelligence about the suspected Russian plot was included in Mr. Trump’s written President’s Daily Brief in late February, according to two officials, contrasting Mr. Trump’s claim on Sunday that he was never “briefed or told” about the matter.
The information was also considered solid enough to be distributed to the broader intelligence community in a May 4 article in the C.I.A.’s World Intelligence Review, commonly called The Wire, according to several officials.
A spokesman for the Taliban has also denied that it accepted Russian-paid bounties to carry out attacks on Americans and other coalition soldiers, saying the group needed no such encouragement for its operations. But one American official said the focus has been on criminals closely associated with the Taliban.
In a raid in Kunduz City in the north about six months ago, 13 people were arrested in a joint operation by American forces and the Afghan intelligence agency, the National Directorate of Security, according to Safiullah Amiry, the deputy provincial council chief there. Two of the main targets of the raid had already fled — one to Tajikistan and one to Russia, Mr. Amiry said — but it was in the Kabul home of one of them where security forces found a half-million dollars. He said the Afghan intelligence agency had told him the raids were related to Russian money being dispersed to militants.
Two former Afghan officials said Monday that members of local criminal networks have carried out attacks for the Taliban in the past — not because they share the Taliban’s ideology or goals, but in exchange for money.
In Parwan Province, where Bagram Airfield is, the Taliban are known to have hired local criminals as freelancers, said Gen. Zaman Mamozai, the former police chief of the province. He said the Taliban’s commanders are based in two districts of the province, Seyagird and Shinwari, and that from there they coordinate a network that commissions criminals to carry out attacks.
And Haseeba Efat, a former member of Parwan’s provincial council, also said the Taliban have hired freelancers in Bagram district — including one of his own distant relatives in one case.
“They agree with these criminals that they won’t have monthly salary, but they will get paid for the work they do when the Taliban need them,” Mr. Efat said.

Twenty American service members were killed in combat-related operations in Afghanistan last year, the most since 2014.
Even some Republicans are demanding answers.
'I have asked the administration to share what it knows,' wrote Senate Armed Services Committee chairman Jim Inhofe, a Republican from Oklahoma, on Twitter.
'Imperative Congress get to the bottom of recent media reports that Russian GRU units in Afghanistan have offered to pay the Taliban to kill American soldiers with the goal of pushing America out of the region,' tweeted Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, a close Trump ally who golfed with the president on Sunday.
'Russia is not a partner, and not to be negotiated with. @realDonaldTrump needs to immediately expose and handle this, and stop Russia's shadow war,' tweeted Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger, a defense hawk and member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
Either way he is incapable of being the President of the United States of America and for which it stands.

Chart of the Day
June 30, 2020 at 3:41 pm EDT
A new Pew Research national poll has this stunning finding: The percentage of Republicans who say they’re satisfied with the direction of the country has dropped below 50% — all the way to 19%.
Philip Bump: “New data from the Pew Research Center bolsters the idea that Trump’s position in the polls is worsening as a function of what’s happening in the country. Specifically, it seems likely that the pandemic is pushing his approval ratings lower, which, in turn, is making his position in the presidential contest more precarious.”
Trump is Putin's puppet who let's our military men and women die with a bounty on their heads by Putin!
Cue the attacks on the last President Obama.
