Just today more came out and it appears the story is actually a year old.
The intelligence came up in March of 2019, not March of this year.
And now we're hearing from the media the story needs to be confirmed even while we're hearing it was confirmed and acted on last year, being shared with the Brits and with American commanders who beefed up security.
I'm guessing what happened is that the Bozo in the White House knew a year ago and his administration responded appropriately, and they didn't bring it up with Putin in some public way because that would only create flap and possibly reveal intelligence sources, and even create public pressure for a too aggressive response, in Afghanistan or elsewhere.
So, is this just a tale of confusion by everybody, including the White House, about a piece of year-old news?
Politically interested confusion on the Democrat side, politically inept confusion on the White House side?
Well, anti-Trump media are running away with the story, Joe Scarborough (for example) saying it proves the Duce is in Putin's pocket.
Sure, he's in Putin's pocket, somehow.
But this isn't that.
They'll stretch out the thing as long as they can, anyway.
Campaign season.
