Remember the Russian hoax? The sexual harassment hoax? The impeachment hoax? The global warming hoax? The coronavirus hoax? The latest one? The Russian bounty hoax.

“No corroborating evidence to back reports.” Department of Defense. Do people still not understand that this is all a made up Fake News Media Hoax started to slander me & the Republican Party. I was never briefed because any info that they may have had did not rise to that level

If there was any doubt in your mind about the Russian bounty story, this should put it to bed. Also this:

Pompeo contradicts Trump and confirms that Russian blood money was not a hoax, they knew about it and told commanders about it, and that Trump has failed to stop it. https://t.co/Gw9hEHjlRH

NEW: 3 NATO officials: “‘We were briefed [by the Americans] on a potential threat to our troops in Afghanistan from operatives potentially linked to the Russian intelligence services.’” https://t.co/tCrh56huJq

There is nothing hoax-y about the Russian bounty story. Trump either knew about it and did nothing because he didn’t want to strain relationship with Vladimir Putin, or he didn’t know it because the intelligence community didn’t want to tell him because of his relationship with Vladimir Putin.

The Russia bounty story cannot simultaneously be both

a) a hoax, fake news for political advantage; and

b) a serious threat to force protection that was handled appropriately communicated to troops Afghanistan.

Yet again, the Trump Administration cannot get its story straight.

Meanwhile, the only thing hurting the property values on Fifth Avenue is the name “Trump” Tower, fool.

….horrible BLM chant, “Pigs In A Blanket, Fry ‘Em Like Bacon”. Maybe our GREAT Police, who have been neutralized and scorned by a mayor who hates & disrespects them, won’t let this symbol of hate be affixed to New York’s greatest street. Spend this money fighting crime instead!
