Remember the NYTimes reports that "Russia" put bounties on US Soldiers in Afghanistan and they ran the story prior to the election to bash @realDonaldTrump?
Well @DNI_Ratcliffe is declassifying intelligence that indicates "China" put bounties in Afghanistan on US soldiers.
The good ole cited "sources familiar" and 'unnamed sources"
The actual Spokespeople at the National Security Council, the Pentagon, the State Department and the C.I.A. declined to comment.
But the NYTimes went with their
The MSM went ballistic when the claims it was Russia and Trump pushed beck saying that report was inaccurate.
Now there is actual documented Intel soon to drop that indicates it was actually CHINA paying non-state actors in Afghanistan to attack US soldiers!
The original leak out of the Pentagon didn't indicated foreign bad actors were financing Bounties on US Soldiers, and the MSM just immediately inserted Russia to keep up the Trump Russia narrative. Johnny Ratcliffe pushed back on the original report saying it was inconclusive!
Now further intelligence along with an actual money trail is pointing to China as the financiers of Bountygate, and when Trumps said he asked Putin point blank about Bountygate, Putin denied Russian involvement, may have been actually true, and the MSM got it wrong again
