A major election-time story involving claims that Russia put bounties on American troops in Afghanistan imploded on Thursday when the White House revealed that U.S. intelligence does not have conclusive evidence that the reports were ever true.
Intelligence assessments, first reported by the New York Times last June, allegedly revealed that the Russian government had secretly offered bounties for successful attacks on American soldiers in Afghanistan.
Democrats seized on the story to paint Donald Trump as a traitor willing to do the bidding of the Russians even at the cost of American lives.

Oh no, we need to go to war with Russia immediately over this. Hold their feet to the fire.
Gaslighting the American public, one false narrative at a time......................
Did anyone buy that story in the first place? It was Russian Hacking 2.0.
Why do we have to make up lies about the Russians if they are so evil and such a national security threat?
You mean the American Intelligence community made up another lie about Trump and the press pushed it relentlessly without checking it out? I’m shocked! shocked!
Harry Reid shrugs.... “the lie worked didn’t it?”
Media - nothing to see
So .... another “Trump was right” moment.
Perhaps conservatives should start compiling a list of all the things that were “Trump truths”.
Apparently, the worst thing a politician can do is tell the truth. Trump was a terrible politician.
Of course, the smear did its job. no need to continue.
And Biden feigned anger and loss every time he spoke, invoking his son Beau.
Some uninformed idiots did. That was the whole purpose.
The media got their story. That’s all that counts.
So Rusty, did ‘MenRec’ finally get banned as a gay porn site? Because that’s what it sounds like.
It will go back into the lie hopper.
"Oops, too late."
Just wait till the Dems need to divert attention from one of their idiot failures, they’ll resurrect the obvious smear, embellish it, and put it at the top of their list of talking points. And, their noisy agitprop corps masquerading as news reporters will obediently point to the previous (false) accusations as proof the current charges are valid.
It’s standard operating procedure for the Demented Party of Deception
The Putin haters here loved it, but most people saw it for what it was.
Trump should have fired everyone in the gubmint who pedaled this crap! It was a golden opportunity to expose the deep state. If he started firing people, the commies would have went into a tizzy and started to make up fake documents, etc. Not hard to figure. They would have all been exposed!
Agreed!
