Smackdown: Richard Grenell puts rabid leftist Ted Lieu in his place over new Russia hoax canard

June 28, 2020 By Monica Showalter

It's happening again. The left is out of arguments against President Trump so now it's recycling old ones.  In an anonymously sourced article, the New York Times reports that President Trump and his lieutenants knew all about a Russian bounty placed on the heads of American soldiers in Afghanistan.

This, while Trump knew all about it and still was inviting Russia's President Vladimir Putin to a G-7 and otherwise making nice with him. The idea was to make Trump appear indifferent to American lives on the front lines in the name of cozying up to Putin.

American intelligence officials have concluded that a Russian military intelligence unit secretly offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants for killing coalition forces in Afghanistan — including targeting American troops — amid the peace talks to end the long-running war there, according to officials briefed on the matter.

Just one problem: It wasn't true. 

And former acting Director of National Intelligence, Richard Grenell, has come out swinging, taking on far-left Rep. Ted Lieu, who bought into it hook, line and sinker...........Grenell, who's out of public office now but served as Trump's acting National Intelligence Director, would be in a position to know. His willingness to open the doors to transparency on the deep state's doings, enhances his credibility further.......the fact that he owes Trump nothing and can do what he likes makes his smackdown most credible of all...........

The left is just trying to paint the Russia target on Trump again,............. Call it what it is: Pathetic.
