President Donald Trump has since strongly denied that he was told of this intelligence, and has attacked its credibility, characterizing the existence of Russian bounty payments as fake. Two are actively involved with the Taliban, and one is now a refugee in Greece who came in 2016. All stressed that they personally had not undertaken Russian bounty operations, and disparaged the practice in general.The refugee spoke anonymously to Insider for fear of retaliation, though his identity is known to Insider. He used to be a commander with the Taliban in the Logar Province of Afghanistan.
But he was skeptical that accepting such payments would advance the Taliban's cause in the long term. "These people will not just leave," he said. "They did not spend the money because we are friends. They spent it to kill their American enemies."Moulani Baghdadi, a current Taliban commander from Ghazni Province, provided Insider a statement via a family member.
A third Taliban official discussed the situation with Insider via Facebook from Pakistan. The official, whom Insider reached via a trusted intermediary, did not give a name.
Seeing this reminds me of tedcruz lobbying for another man to “wrestle” someone he had issues with on Twitter. Cowards get other people to fight their battles.

Oh, so now we're supposed to trust the Taliban more than the National Security Agency? 🤷🏻♂️
Never-ending hilarious stories about Russia.

So you now believed the so called Taliban sources than the Pentagon and US intelligence agencies? You guys are a piece of joke.
Why is everyone shocked. War by proxy is one of the oldest games in town, one in which everyone has and continues to play.
An eye for an eye is the summary of the relationship between US and Russia.
One would think if Trump weren't a Russian agent, he would try to find out if this were real and credible instead of denying it.
Lmfao “according to 3 separate Taliban sources”
TALIBAN sources? Are you guys fucking kidding?
Russia once again....wasn't me 😂
