It’s happening again. The left is out of arguments against President Trump so now it’s recycling old ones.
In an anonymously sourced article, the New York Times reports that President Trump and his lieutenants knew all about a Russian bounty placed on the heads of American soldiers in Afghanistan. This, while he was inviting Russia’s President Vladimir Putin to a G-7 and otherwise colluding with him. The idea was to make Trump appear indifferent to American lives on the front lines in the name of making cozy with Putin.
Just one problem: It wasn’t true. And former acting Director of National Intelligence, Richard Grenell, has come out swinging, taking on far-left Rep. Ted Lieu, who bought into it hook, line and sinker.
Trump, too, had some takeout:
Grenell kept coming, taking on all attackers:
Grenell, who’s out of public office now but served as Trump’s acting National Intelligence Director, would be in a position to know. His willingness to open the doors to transparency on the deep state’s doings, enhances his credibility further. The fact that he was there, just there, when the Times’ deep state throat was speaking enhances further. And lastly, the fact that he owes Trump nothing and can do what he likes makes his smackdown most credible of all.
The Russkis, for what it’s worth, have denied the bounty-hunting charge as well. While no one should put it past them, Grenell’s argument is the strongest. The left is just trying to paint the Russia target on Trump again, given that it has nothing left to attack him with. Now they can’t find a single official to go on the record to call the latest claim true. Not even John Bolton, and rest assured, they would have tried. Call it what it is: Pathetic.
