On top of Russia paying bounties to terrorist forces in Afghanistan on American and Coalition soldiers, Trump has apparently known about this since March and yet has continuously called for Russia to be admitted back into the g8 and European community.
Nothing says "Support the Troops" like supporting a hostile foreign state who has attempted to rig American elections, uses propaganda to spread division amongst our population and places bounties on the soldiers.
Can we call treason treason now?

QuoteAmerican intelligence officials have concluded that a Russian military intelligence unit secretly offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants for killing coalition forces in Afghanistan â€" including targeting American troops â€" amid the peace talks to end the long-running war there, according to officials briefed on the matter.
The United States concluded months ago that the Russian unit, which has been linked to assassination attempts and other covert operations in Europe intended to destabilize the West or take revenge on turncoats, had covertly offered rewards for successful attacks last year.
The intelligence finding was briefed to President Trump, and the White House’s National Security Council discussed the problem at an interagency meeting in late March, the officials said.
Putin placed a bounty on the heads of US troops in Afghanistan that was collected upon by militants, and Donald Trump has done nothing in response.
Trump wouldn’t stand up to Putin on Russian election interference in 2016, and he is rolling over even as Putin is paying for US troops to be killed in Afghanistan. The families of those service members who Russia paid the bounty on deserve to know why Trump has let Putin pay for the murder of the loved ones with no consequences.
It is a given that Trump is weak and corrupt, but this reporting reveals that even though he claims to love the military, Trump is doing nothing as Russia is rewarding militants for killing Americans.
Russia denies this. But then they would. Trump would deny this. But then he would. The Deep State promotes this narrative. But then they would. Unless one is married to a Taliban or Russian intelligence agent who talks in their sleep, one can't know if this is true of not. Otherwise there is still WMD hidden in Iraq that Cheny just couldn't find ;-(

"All Players In The NYT 'Russian Bounties' In Afghanistan Story Have Slammed It As Fake News" ... Deep State BS to increase fear of Russia and decrease fear of China
Trump has replied that he knew nothing about it and that the fake-news media made it up. And US Intelligence did not brief him. So, what do we know. That trump always lies. So, he knew about it and was briefed by US Intel. No question.................
Given what we know about Trump's affection for Putin, he would say it's fake. Maybe he doesn't know about it. Why would US intelligence release classified information to Trump? He would just put it on Twitter and blame Obama. This warrants enough suspicion that discounting it would be naive, unless you actually support Trump, and most Trump supporters would discount it. At any rate, Trump should stop appeasing Russia and covering for Putin.

Hey, what goes around comes around. Someone who sells out Americans shouldn't be too surprised. Maybe we could have a presidential dog in the interim and promise to be cool to each other until the next election?

No, kill everyone, now! What about the warrant on President Maduro of Venezuela? Oh i know, some people support drugs so support the traffic from Columbia thru Mexico and from China thru Mexico ... which where all in George Floyd's blood stream.

Top officials were aware a year earlier than previously reported that Russia was secretly offering bounties to the Taliban for the deaths of Americans, according to Associated Press sources.
I don't know who I'm angrier at--trump because he is simply a traitor to this country; maybe the worst we have ever had; or the Intel/Military who knew of this for over a year and just sat on their butts and did nothing to bring a traitor to justice.
Why aren't you in the Army now? Sofa warrior ;-) You hate Trump like Booth hated Lincoln. Got Ford's Theater tickets?

"Trump Never Briefed On Unvetted Russian Bounty Intel Because NSA "Strongly Dissented"" ... proof the NSA are Russian stooges
"A core principle of the academic movement that shot through elite schools in America since the early nineties was the view that individual rights, humanism, and the democratic process are all just stalking-horses for white supremacy. The concept, as articulated in books like former corporate consultant Robin DiAngelo’s White Fragility (Amazon’s #1 seller!) reduces everything, even the smallest and most innocent human interactions, to racial power contests.' ... Yuri Bezmenov told you so. So yes, the Communist Manifesto is so old ... needed replacing.

Weird how you and Trump phrase it so similarly. Personally, if he says it's fake news, that's all the more reason to investigate it fully and make sure. The guy is such a notorious liar that he'd probably say that vaccines cause autism or that climate change is a hoax invented by the Chinese or that he won the popular vote.
Apparently, it's substantial enough that both parties in Congress were briefed about it behind closed doors (https://www.axios.com/senate-intelligence-committee-russia-bounties-62fb8075-2d1c-4759-af80-f7536ac64847.html). They came away with...varied...interpretations.
And besides, since when have you disliked conspiracy theories?
Evidentially, bringing up Russia to Trump (https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-got-angry-if-warned-about-russia-so-officials-avoided-2020-7) in any official capacity throws the Orange Blunder into a bit of tizzy. Very strange behavior for such a virtuous patriot who couldn't possibly be in any way beholden to Putin.

What exactly is far-fetched about a hostile foreign nation taking steps to destabilize our democracy or place bounty on our troops, particularly when we know they do it in other Western nations?

It is theoretically possible.
OTOH, there has been so much credibility lost in the repeated failures of "muh russia" that there is now a higher bar than "an unnamed guy said it." For an example on credibility, if Kent Hovind were to tell me the sky is blue I would have to go out and check.

We do much worse than that. Remember the 500,000 children in Iraq who died under Clinton? But the point is, unless Trump is John Wayne (oh, the guy the Californicators want to de-person) he should resign or something. At least he hasn't killed 500,000 children in Iraq.

He did business with Russians. As a businessman. Are all businessmen Russian spies? Have you bought anything at Walmart? Are you a Chinese spy? I think anyone who did business with Germany since 1945 is a Nazi ;-) Biden did business with Ukrainian oligarchs, successfully suborned Ukrainian officials, used his son to take bribes from Burisma. Does that mean that Biden is a Ukrainian secret agent?
Obama wasn't a businessman. But that doesn't mean he didn't take bribes from foreign governments (Biden was his VP, Obama made a color revolution in Ukraine, made Biden the American vice-roy of the Ukraine). What was Biden's qualification to be the American vice-roy in the Ukraine? How come so many politicians end up with a lot more money than just their political salaries would allow? When you do that, in the Intel world, you are suspected of treason. This is why criminals use money laundering (Hunter Biden money laundered thru banks in Estonia).
