Now we have Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer stating that the Awan brothers were sending sensitive intel to terrorist groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood. What weren't these guys involved in?
Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer: Awan Brothers Sent Sensitive Intel To Terrorist Groups
Just when you thought the case surrounding the Awan brothers could not get any darker, a new piece of news emerges.
Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer revealed to Laura Ingraham, who filled in for Tucker Carlson Thursday evening, the Pakistani IT staffers were sending sensitive information to the Muslim Brotherhood.
It's OK. Trump and the GOP gave classified material to the Russians.
Ummm, no, they didn't.
Uh yes he did. He told us.
I don't understand WTF is wrong with you guys. Trump tells us something and you deny it if you decide it's not what you want to hear. Just because he lies all the time, you think he lied about this? And if he did, then you believe a liar?
Or you don't believe a liar? What is going on?
Trump may have shared intel with Russians: what we know
Trump appeared to use this reasoning while defending himself on Twitter on May 16, the morning after this story broke.
"As President I wanted to share with Russia (at an openly scheduled W.H. meeting) which I have the absolute right to do, facts pertaining to terrorism and airline flight safety. Humanitarian reasons, plus I want Russia to greatly step up their fight against ISIS & terrorism," Trump wrote in
two tweets.
McMaster, at the May 16 press briefing, said Trump decided to share information with the Russians as the sides were meeting. He said Trump was not aware of the source of the information.
We don’t know what motivated Trump to share this information with the Russians. The
Washington Post said Trump went off-script and was "boasting about his inside knowledge of the looming threat."
