About ten days ago the NY Times ran an unsourced story claiming that Russia was paying bounties to the Taliban to kill American soldiers in Afghanistan. The President said he had never been briefed about the bounties and the Director of National Intelligence said that although there were rumors of bounties, there was no real proof that the rumor was true. Particularly since the Times had no countrary evidence, the story should have died there as more fake news from the king of the genre. Juan Williams -- no slave to the truth -- just wrote a piece in The Hill that ends with a charge that President Trump committed treason by not responding to the bounties. Williams says that three bounties may have been paid, that's MAY have been paid, in 2018. He has no proof. To Williams that is "treason".
Why must these people do this? Can't the facts and the truth matter? It's just so sad.
