Trump claims he knew nothing about attack plans leak.

From CBS: When asked about the Goldberg story at the White House on Monday afternoon, President Trump told
reporters he had not heard about it.

"I don't know anything about it ," the President responded. "I'm not a big fan of the Atlantic. To me, it's
a magazine that's going out of business. I think it's not much of a magazine. But I know nothing about
it."

Excerpted from the middle of the article.

Four different web sites including Fox News and it's the lead story.

goes into full bury-the-dead-body mode. Jen Psaki played a byte from Hegseth, who seemed unduly defensive -- tore Goldberg a new bodily orifice.

The Atlantic is irrelevant. YOUR dumbasses fucked up. Was it intentional? It was criminal. The gop is the party of law and order. When are you going to tell the American People your plan of action? Whose resignations are you going to insist upon? Are you fucking up our national security to distract from your Doge fiascos? Busy day ahead trump. Go on act presidential and do the right thing. Suckers and losers dare ya.

because he's a puppet. He damn well knew about the fucked up leak and has yet to figure out who to blame.

Someone told him. He's such a liar. He did what he always does, put down the media as failed, etc. Then he covers up by saying, "I don't know anything about it."

If he didn't know, that would mean that these stumbling bozos didn't inform him of this breach of secrecy.

Also, we don't really know how successful the attack was. And, they want to say Biden failed in some way. I really think these people are despicable.
