    'As bad as it gets': Trump attacked by Pelosi for ignoring briefing on Russia placing bounties on US soldiers
    Speaker has vowed to investigate what the president knew about the Russian bounty programme in Afghanistan

    It was "totally outrageous" for Donald Trump not to respond to reports that the same Russian intelligence cells that attacked the 2016 US election also offered bounties on US soldiers for Taliban fighters, Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said.

    "This is as bad as it gets, and yet the president will not confront the Russians on this score," Ms Pelosi said on Sunday in an interview with ABC News.

    "This is totally outrageous. You would think that the minute he heard of this the president would want to know more instead of denying anything," Ms Pelosi said.

    "Now he says it's fake news. Why would he say that? Why wouldn't he say, 'Let's look into it'?" the speaker said.

    Deflect all you want, but not briefed = bad, briefed = worse.

    And it also might not be true at all. Lets face it, its hard to know these days what is true and what is total lie. Such is the nature of our "news".

    I will say that it was nice to see Joe speaking well and eloquently. And I don't care if he used a teleprompter.

    Exactly.

    One anonymous source does not mean truth. Refer to Steele Dossier.

    Remember when the redhats were super happy the Quds general got taken out for funneling money to terrorists that killed Americans & were ready to glass Iran? They called it a "strong response" if I recall.

    Extreme liberal media has to concoct more lies as they are running out. Question: If you keep lying and lying and still lying some more, how much should anyone put credence in what you say? How can any sane person trust someone who lies over and over again?
