They wouldn’t need a PR strategy. This is basically admitting this is not a nothing burger or a Democratic hoax.

That tells you all you need to know. It's a political / perception / messaging problem to the GOP. Not any sort of national security issue, which would be how any sane politician or military leader would view it.

To turn this against Democrats so we can re elected. So obvious.

If I was I the military I would be so angry serving under this pos commander.

Hard to believe there aren't republicans who aren't disgusted by him and maybe they are afraid he'll drag them further (if possible) to mud. And now there's a good opportunity to finally get rid of him because of treason.

Wishful thinking but fun. One can hope!

At what point will Dear Leader be recognized as a huge liability for them going into the 2020 election? Many in their right mind might admit that point was reached long ago, now being a point of no return. At any rate, we will soon learn how well Moscow Mitch and Leningrad Lindsey have earned the titles recently bestowed upon them.

"Gotta keep this in the family". They're covering their asses and trying to come up with a convoluted message to support their "Dear Leader". Here's the deal Repugs...either your golden boy was too stupid to appreciate the intel brief provided for him, too lazy to ready it, or so far under Putin's thumb that he ignored it...so which option is it? Anything less is an appealing attempt to cover for this man baby you adore.
