The chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee warned a small group of well-connected constituents three weeks ago to prepare for dire economic and societal effects of the coronavirus, according to a secret recording obtained by NPR.
The remarks from U.S. Sen. Richard Burr were more stark than any he had delivered in more public forums.
On Feb. 27, when the United States had 15 confirmed cases of COVID-19, President Trump was tamping down fears and suggesting the virus could be seasonal.
On that same day...
"There's one thing that I can tell you about this: It is much more aggressive in its transmission than anything that we have seen in recent history," he said, according to a secret recording of the remarks obtained by NPR. "It is probably more akin to the 1918 pandemic."

This is interesting.
Hmm...lie to the public but give the insiders a heads-up. No surprise there.

So we have moved on from anonymous White House insiders to secret recordings now? If its secret, how would you know about it? :lamo
We know about it because it was reported in a news story. News is kinda like that substance Fox defactes into your open orifices like the journalistic equivalent of the human centipede. The only difference is real news is helpful and informative while Fox news will give you Cornovirus. Obviously, everyone familiar with the English language understands that the recording was made in secret but is no longer secret as it is being discussed openly in a public forum. Your confusion however is understandable and frankly, being a conservative as you are, there is little in terms of expectations that even this clarification will resonate with you intellectually. No worries. I never get tired of explaining the simple things to you people.
:thumbs:

If its public, and the media has a copy of it, where is it? Oh, I forgot, You will slurp up anything the left media feeds you.
Like Trump is a Russian agent, Kavanaugh is an alcoholic high school serial rapist, all Trump loans are signed by Russian oligarchs, Trump owes billions to Russia.
We get it. There is nothing you won't buy when it comes from the left media.

Its always telling when a poster skips right passed the debating to making people's arguments for them. But as I recall the news organizations certainly reported on the existence of these alegegations of Trump as a Russian agent and Kavanaugh as a drunken rapist, none of them to my knowledge reported those alegegations as facts or made up actual quotes and attributed them to those individuals. And Trump's indebtedness to various Russian institutions and individuals is pretty well documented. But if you have evidence of your claims, by all means let's see it.
I have seen the top of Mount Stupid, and it was not good.
I honestly cannot think of how much more stupid and dishonest a post can get, but you always surprise me. Trying to use "secret recording!" like your cowardly, stupid, and dishonest "anonymous source" dodge. Amazing.
Try to figure this out: you were supposed to use "anonymous" as a smear when it referred to a person who, like Deep Throat, could not be named without jeopardizing the collection of news about the corruption of politicians like Trump. Read gain: the idea was to protect the corrupt criminal you worship. Anyone who might tell the public about his various evils would get fired. So they would all have to do it anonymously both for the reporter of criminality not to be fired, and for the news media to receive reports of criminality. So if Fox programs you to say "anonymous" and stick your head up your rear every time you hear something bad about Trump, Fox will have programmed you to insulate yourself from hearing anything but praise of that criminal lout. See? That's how your stupid, dishonest, and cowardly "anonymous sources!" smear was supposed to work. But..... listen..... but,
THAT DOES NOT WORK WITH AN ACTUAL RECORDING.
The secrecy of a recording makes it more credible, not less, since someone who is aware he is being recorded will be more careful with this words.
Condor fail #50,000,000,000. Congratulations!
Except they named everyone who is supposedly on this secret recording so theres that. Sorry to burst your little bubble.
By the way, we are all still waiting on the Bolton information where he supposedly claimed Trumps secret conversations with Ukraine. Still haven't seen that. You know why? Because NOTHING in his book could be released until is clears intelligence. Thats how everyone (but people like you) knew the claim was fake. Just as fake as this new secret recording BS.
If the media had it, they would make it available to the public given the fact they already named everyone in it.
But idiot Liberals with their little brains will slurp it up over and over and over. Its been quite the entertainment watching them get s**t on their faces now for 3 years. Whats even more entertaining is they all come back for more, over and over and over. Its just fabulous.
“The lack of preparation has been baffling,” one Republican said. “It does not inspire confidence when a major national crisis seems to be fumbled so badly. Trump and his off-the-cuff approach and loose association with facts has not helped at all.”
This is interesting.

According to New York times reporting of a excerpt of John Bolton's book they don't have a copy of, this is all 100% true :lol:
It’s getting harder to defend the lying GOP. Isn’t it?
That post of yours is idiotic.
Meanwhile...
The coronavirus crisis is hurting Donald Trump’s chance at a second term, Florida Insiders say

Senator Dumped Up to $1.6 Million of Stock After Reassuring Public About Coronavirus Preparedness
There certainly is someone slurping alright. :roll:
Which has what to do with what?
Which has what to do with what?
Insider trading is not exactly a misdemeanor; ask Martha Stewart.
Burr and another republican from GA both immediately sold their stocks in hotels and other industries that they had just learned from their Intelligence Committee briefing would be seriously impacted by the pandemic. They should both be investigated, and if found that they did indeed act based upon "insider knowledge" in violation of the law, they should both resign and face criminal prosecution... along with any other congressional and administration personnel who did the same thing.
