The Biden administration on Thursday walked back one of the biggest bombshell campaign-season revelations of last year: that the Russian government had put bounties on the heads of US troops in Afghanistan.
Oh, how convenient.
A senior official told The Daily Beast that the administration had only “low to moderate” confidence in a story Team Biden was more than happy to use against former President Donald Trump for months. Candidate Joe Biden cited the Russian bounties on the campaign trail, calling Trump’s failure to act a “dereliction of duty.” […]
The easy marks who fell for it on the Republican side are a little harder to forgive, like Sen. Lindsey Graham, Rep. Dan Crenshaw and the ranking member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Rep. Michael McCaul.
“We need answers,” Crenshaw said at the time, retweeting Liz Cheney.
McCaul, during the Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on the bounties story, admitted that the intelligence community was still doing a “deep dive” but nevertheless treated the allegation as if it was true, calling for further sanctions against Moscow and asking if the likely untrue story called into question the good-faith negotiating of the Taliban.
One more detail is worth considering here: The New York Times reported days after its initial story that the bounties intelligence had been inserted into President Trump’s written briefing on Feb. 27. Two days later, the peace deal with the Taliban was signed.
Given the Biden administration’s disavowal, this now looks like an effort to sabotage the peace process. The most charitable reading is someone let low-quality intelligence rise up the chain of command much too quickly. At worst, someone put it in there intending to damage Trump. It wouldn’t be the first time.

Meanwhile Biden lines up in true Clinton style to push Russia into war while praising China.
Seems nobody wants the truth to be posted…
Tried putting how Obama spent 5 billion to chase out the Russian in Ukraine.
Don’t be surprised that this now continues.
Just like with the Democrats now using their newfound power to jam down the country’s throat trillions upon trillions in “fundamentally transformational” left-wing spending and the robbing us of our freedoms, our enemies across the globe are also taking this golden opportunity – early in this feeble administration – as a free pass for naked land grabs or outright invasion of sovereign nations. I doubt this clown Biden will do anything in response, and even if he does, because of his diminished mental state and America-hating advisors, he risks plunging the world into one or major conflagrations. Take a bow Democrats!
The US has never been this Militarily weak before on the world stage due to technological advances that has put it into a disadvantage now.
They’re trying to ship much equipment to Ukraine but the Russians will not tolerate this anymore.
Trying to bring in direct troops would mean many American body bags.
The world stage is totally different now.
Funny, theres been no walkback on the election fraud bogus narrative. The Russia story didn’t cause an insurrection at capitol hill.
What’s to walkback Allan?
Simple, the whole thing is a fraud itself. Go read some of the lawsuits.
Actually unlike the judges and you Allan – I did read many of them. And if they saw the light of day in court on the evidence – this election would be thrown out in a heartbeat.
As usual you only provide MSNBC/CNN talking points
Pretty obvious you know nothing of 0the legal process related to elections. Judges do not throw out elections. Just likenthey do not throw out ballots cast in good faith.
The affidavits are a joke.
alla ASSHOLE,like the law suit against Flynn, those law suits. Once you figure out the judiciary has been compromised , you may start to understand what is going on. Now go back to lip polishing gear knobs
(Insurrection – nice one, Nancy.)
I don’t agree.
The Russian collusion fraud was the first of many buckets of bullshit that created an irreparable schism that the Dems will not only not “walkback” from, but have been emboldened by as they continue to sow discord and division with bold fabrications and hate.
The consequences eventually reaped may make a January riot look like a kindergarten hissy fit.
why do people keep saying Biden admin, it’s the O’Butthole admin. And I hope fools like unDork, and the NB welfare guy read those articles, and understand it’s stupidity like theirs that is responsible for this shit show. And up there will be a major war min the near future, O’Butthole’s handlers want it!
Crenshaw is a shitfilled twinkie. He’s fooled a lot of people with that pirate eye patch and ex navy seal credentials…but when you’re a member of the World Economic Forum all that gets thrown out the window in my opinion.
This is tough on the narrative,well except for our progressive comrades who will lap it up.
Fake Newz ,message “Trust us ,we know all”
Followed by “Never mind that we have been wilfully lying again,repeatedly.”
“Who you gonn’a believe?Us or your lying eyes?”
The parallels between Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming,The Dread Covid and Orange Man BAD are impossible to miss.
Unless you are in the Cult.
“Mostly Peaceful Protests” as Burn Loot Murder inflicts pain and suffering on the gullible trapped in Democrat controlled enclaves.
Soon enough the suckers will suffer enough pain to realize who the common enemy is.
Stock up on popcorn.
Let the scapegoating begin.
The “water bottle” KO is just the beginning.
Every charge against Trump has an expiration date.
What’s worst is that this Russian Bounty HOAX story emanated from the Obama plants in our Deep State. The gift that keeps on giving. We need to PURGE our government bureaucracies of ALL extreme partisan hacks (plants) who are willing … nay, enthusiastic to spread filth and LIES to harm their political adversaries.
