Almost nothing Trump does (and decides not to do) makes sense.

He is an abomination on our nation...and upon humanity.

It should be of concern to everyone.

Susan Rice: 'Makes No Sense' That Trump Wasn't Told Of Russia Bounties.

That doesn't matter.

We've gone to war on intel with a lot less confirmation than this.

or his staff is so incompetent (and/or don't trust him) and they kept vital information from him.

That doesn't matter.

Either 45 knew and did nothing, or his staff is so incompetent (and/or don't trust him) and they kept vital information from him. They didn't have to wait for oh my God cross those Ts and dot those I's confirmation, either. We've gone to war on intel with a lot less confirmation than this.

What would have liked him to do?

Give a speech from the Oval Office all serious about how our soldiers might be in danger from the people trying to kill them in a war zone? Do you really need that?

Give it proper lip service and go on TV and poo-poo Putin with no actual evidence?

Maybe send a nuke or two Russia's way?

Bring everyone home from Afghanistan and leave them to it?

What would make you happy with this?

‘Officials Said’
This would be troublesome enough, but there are a number of reasons to be skeptical of the veracity of the claims. Firstly, the Times, Post and Journal’s reports are all based on fundamentally untrustworthy actors who refuse to go on the record. Here is a list of all the sources mentioned in the Times report:

“According to officials briefed on the matter”
“Officials said”
“Officials said”
“Officials said”
“Said Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary for President Vladimir V. Putin”
“Zabihullah Mujahid, a spokesman for the Taliban, denied”
“The officials spoke”
“Russian government officials have dismissed such claims”
“Gen. John W. Nicholson Jr., the commander of American forces in Afghanistan at the time, said”
“Officials were said to be confident”
“Some officials have theorized”
“Officials have also suggested”
“The officials briefed on the matter said”
“Western intelligence officials say”
“American intelligence officials say”
“American officials say”
“Officials briefed on its operations say”

"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, 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.

So, based on NOTHING more than a NY Times article, we should cut ties with Russia?

Imagine, just for a second, the the US Intelligence agencies sent everything they know to the President daily, do you honestly suspect that he would have time to even eat?

Is that even a possibility for you guys or are you so blind and full of TDS that you just don't care?

It's funny that every source you linked refers back to the NY Times article...

That's not the least bit eye opening to you?

This is the evidence:

This is just another, in a loooooong list of things the left leaning media is using to butcher Trump in the run up to the elections.

Do you have ANY evidence that this isn't just Russia meddling in the elections again? Is that even a possibility for you guys or are you so blind and full of TDS that you just don't care?

The story has been carried by other news outlets as well. It's based on information received from the intelligence community — you make it seem as if the NYT just used fictional sources and made the whole thing up.
