Rep. Liz Cheney, the now-deposed third in House leadership, lied about her role in the fake Russian bounty tale, Glenn Greenwald reports.
During an interview with Bret Baier, Liz Cheney repeatedly lied about her role in spreading the Russian bounty hoax.
In case you don’t remember, the CIA cooked up that tale. Anonymous sources told the NY Times that Russia was paying Taliban fighters to kill U.S. troops in Afghanistan. As Greenwald notes, this was as former President Trump announced his plans to withdraw troops from Afghanistan.
The pro-war crowd, led by Liz, used the story to continue the endless 19 year war.
Last month, the intel community admitted that it had only “low to moderate confidence” that any of this even happened.
