Mr. Yglesias is being sarcastic here, but if tell-alls from Woodward to Bolton are correct, it is entirely believable to me that neither of them paid any attention to briefings on this intel:

The Lincoln Project has an ad out on it:

One thing I think can be safely presumed: his old buddy John McCain would be more than extremely angry.

The NYT and Cnn have a long documented history of printing hoaxes so this 'Story' should remain in that category until verified or debunked.
Putin is a despot but he's not a fool seeking more of Trump's sanctions.

Why do you think it is even worth your time to write that here?
Do you think of this group as a bunch of dummies that doesn't know what the name Judith Miller means?
Do you think we also don't know what it means when the DNI says intel wasn't shown to the president and vice-president but doesn't deny its existence?
Come up with something more challenging than "beware the liberal media may not always be true". DOH. It's truer more often than Fox News.
Or are you just trying to convince yourself?

Putin Is a dumbfuck who's lucky he found a useful idiot in America, cuz he's done a really shitty job for a guy who's sitting on the resources he Is. 20+ years and what does he have to show but a few billion of extorted money, a semi-quagmire in Syria, a reputation for killing journalists, 3rd worst Covid response in the world, and chaos in America? Get his dick out of your mouth. It's not worth the crappy pay youre getting.

Steve Schmidt calls bullshit on tweet by Office of the DNI:
by artappraiser on Sun, 06/28/2020 - 1:16am
A non-denial denial wrapped in a larger denial. The "alleged intelligence" has been reported by the NY Times. The intelligence itself is alleged to have come from Intelligence sources. The Director is the perfect job to find out if it is valid information. If the reporting is incorrect it is incorrect about what came from their sources. As the NYT story has it:
If the Director could just say the story was all false, that would have been the smart thing to say. This statement screams of Commissars shaking down the party ranks for traitors and infidels.
The denial by Zabihullah Mujahid is special. He is more offended by being seen as a whore than a killer of Americans:
The Taliban are so touchy these days. Gone are the halcyon days of yore when they took C.I.A. money with no drama.

interesting insight about the Taliban, moat.

David Rothkopf has a few things to say on the matter in a Twitter thread, starting here:
by artappraiser on Sun, 06/28/2020 - 1:20am
Poor confused moot can't even keep his hoax history straight. The Taliban didn't even exist when the CIA funded AL Qaida hoax first surfaced,
It seems that pinheads like Rothkopf would update their pathetic failed Trump/Russia collusion hoax and start parroting the Bolton Trump/China collusion hoax.

Your twisting of anything and everything pro-Trump as if he is the yugest genius the world has ever seen who is always right is incredibly blatantly obvious. Especially whenever his administration does something that his very own political party wouldn't like, it was on purpose because the GOP is stupid, that Trump always knows better than both the GOP and Democratic politicians.
While someone like member NCD here might see a fan of a "dear leader", through the wise comments of moat, I am beginning to see marketing for a single man as savior and genius at work. The only question is whether you are paid to do that or do that because you are a fanboy.
by artappraiser on Sun, 06/28/2020 - 1:59pm
He may not be the yugest genius among world leaders, but he surely has the yugest ass. (ed note: Trump v. Spanx, Spanx lays down and dies, admits defeat.)

I think this kind of ridicule personally rattles the Narcissist Trump mightily but has little affect on followers and fans, nearly zero effect actually, as at many of his rallies the attendees don't look that different. And ya know, comes to mind Trump, as to physical appearance, he only judges women that way; with men he's a fan of Rocketman and Pootie. Despite the bare chest photos of the latter, he's lacking both the height and the hair of an Adonis.

Hey Nonny - still playing Putin deepthroat? He doesnt mind paying Afghanis to kill Americans, And you and your hero Trump dont mind Americans dying. Speaking of which, 130,000 Covid dead - where's your hydroxychloroquine And herd immunity? Florida's adding 8000-10,000 infections a day - Nonny and Donny dont care - they're in it for the chaos and "owning the libs", not for any grow up responsibility. Do you golf too, Anon? Whats your handicap? (Aside from the obvious.)

From Wikipedia for brevity:
For more detailed information, look for Operation Cyclone and Pashtun nationalism during the Soviet invasion. The word "Taliban" means students who went madrassahs in Pakistan as refugees during the war.
Same people, different time.
by moat on Sun, 06/28/2020 - 2:59pm
You parrot a wiki history that verifies that no evidence has been found in 30 years that the CIA funded the Taliban or AQ but is also incomplete and inaccurate. You then make another ignorant claim based on misinformation.
The Taliban formed in refugee camps in Pakistan and those students brought it to Afghanistan two years after the Afghan war ended. Some of the Pashtunwali fighters from the war converted to Wahhabi Islam and joined the Taliban
Inferring that because the CIA supported the Mujahideen they funded the Taliban a decade later is absurd even if some of them joined the Taliban.

The source was only meant to frame the events in the context you claimed was not germane.
I have made no reference to what happened after the war with the Soviets.
Same people, different time. For the sake of precision, I should have said something like precursors to Taliban.

This will of course mean zero to Nonny because Mr. Bromwich has bonafide "deep state" credentials going way back: former DOJ IG; Asst US Attorney, SDNY; Assoc. Independent Counsel, Iran-Contra; independent monitor; law enforcement consultant; views are my own
