You’re wrong about everything here and you’re still spreading the msm smear campaign propaganda against him.

Trump paid ALL the taxes he was required to pay by law. The IRS had ALL Trumps tax returns the whole time and they did nothing, because Trump had done NOTHING wrong. Who made the tax laws? Who pays more taxes than they are required to?

The “bounties” story was disinformation as well...

“Washington — National security adviser Robert O'Brien said Wednesday that the senior career CIA officer who briefs President Trump in person made the decision not to verbally brief him on intelligence about a Russian scheme to offer bounties targeting American troops in Afghanistan, saying she lacked confidence in the veracity of the intelligence.”

“The situation surrounds the now-debunked “bombshell” story about the Russians putting “bounties” on US soldier’s heads. The basic “nutshell” battle cry from Dems and the media was that Putin was running the show in the US – literally controlling the White House – and killing American servicemen abroad, while Trump knew all about it, and did nothing.
When the story first broke, I literally rolled my eyes. I could tell right away that it was just more of the same Russia BS that we’ve all been forced to listen to for 5 long, agonizing years.
Well, it turns out that story was not real – those of us without TDS knew it was fake all along, but now we had the proof.
And it came by way of the Biden WH, who is now claiming that US Intel is walking back the story, and said there was never any actual sourcing or basically “reality” for the story.
So, once again, this was another fake/propaganda story from our lying liberal media, designed just to try and destroy President Trump. There was no “actual bombshell” from the intel community – someone made the whole thing up.
And that’s where Richard Grenell comes in.
He recalled an MSNBC interview all the way back in July, where Rep. Swalwell went on the air and actually claimed that he personally “reviewed” the supposed US intelligence on the “Bounty” story and assured everyone that it was not a hoax.
He “personally reviewed” it? How so? It didn’t exist…
So, now we know that was not true.
Was Eric the guy who was told to spread the fake story?
Here’s what Richard Grenell said: “There should be an immediate investigation of @ericswalwell – he said last year that he reviewed the intelligence surrounding the Russian bounty story and promised that it was not a hoax. He lied again about intelligence.”

Rep. Eric Swalwell On Russian Bounty Reports: ‘It’s Not A Hoax’

The Pentagon has still seen no proof for reports that Russia paid the Taliban to kill US troops in Afghanistan, a defense official said, while a senior US diplomat noted Moscow has instead supported the country’s peace process.
While the military is “always looking at threats,” it has yet to uncover evidence for the “bounties” allegation reported by the New York Times in June, David Helvey, the Pentagon's deputy assistant secretary for Indo-Pacific Security Affairs, told the House Oversight Committee during a hearing on Tuesday.
“Since those reports have come out regarding Russian programs, we’ve been looking specifically to identify corroborating information. We’ve not yet found it, but we continue to look for that,” Helvey said, answering a question from Rep. Harley Rouda (D-California) about the Times story and “outside actors” operating in Afghanistan.
Helvey’s remarks came as the latest refutation of the “bounties” claim, after CENTCOM commander Gen. Frank McKenzie told NBC earlier this month that it “just has not been proved to a level of certainty that satisfies me.” Defense Secretary Mark Esper also observed in July that “a number of intelligence entities” were unable to corroborate the story, and a report in the Wall Street Journal suggests the National Security Agency “strongly dissented” to the allegation. However, the charge refuses to die. Corporate media outlets from CNN to MSNBC, as well as an assortment of blue-check Twitter pundits, continue to push the story, despite repeated denials from the military.
