Doubt it.
1) You are lying in your post, the NY Times story had to do with a bounty on American Soldiers, not a
"Russian hit squad to kill American Soldiers".. I know, I know if the NY Times can openly lie about everything why can't you... The Times has only been lying to the country repeatedly about Russian Collusion but this time.... this time they must be telling the truth...
2) Iran targeted our guys in Iraq and Afghanistan for years with IED's. The General responsible for that Salami was left untouched by the George W. Bush and Barrack Obama. Bush did not take him out because he would have been seen as expanding the war into Iran, Obama did not kill him because killing him would have caused the Mullah's to walk from the nuke talks, where he got a deal (thankfully now dead) that was not worth the paper it was written on.
General Salami, directly responsible for killing 196 US soldiers and wounding another 400 and two PResidents, a total of 16 years did nothing.
Which President did do something? Trump. Democrats reaction to the killing of Gen. Salami..
. OUTRAGE. Just like the good useful idiots you are.
That is why I highly doubt this "intelligence" ever made it to Trump or Pence in the daily briefing. It's a half-ass piece of intelligence leaked to the Times to make Trump look as bad as possible and of course, you guys have learned absolutely nothing, lap it up. RUSSIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's all bullshit as usual by people who want us tied down in Afghanistan for another couple of decades.
