Never happened.

This one was revealed because people saw it.

So if it had happened before PEOPLE WOULD HAVE SEEN IT THEN TOO.

Show me the twitter posts.

Biden administration officials refused to provide them to POLITICO, citing the classified nature of that information.

What a farce. The Biden administration leaks sensitive information all the time. They well know that there was NEVER a balloon like this during the Trump administration.

Trump rightly doesn’t trust the intelligence community and this is a great example of why he’s right. They are trying to suggest this isn’t related to Lieden being feckless. If it happened under Trump they think it means that it can’t be blamed on weakness, Afghanistan response ect. Nicely they have no dates so it can’t be blamed on a stolen election either.

Exactly...its not like this story is the result of a leak. Everyone saw it and they couldn’t deny it.

So the deep state never included the incursions in Trump officials regular intelligence briefings. Maybe they thought the previous incursions were so brief as to be “insignificant”, from an intelligence collection or immediate military perspective. That actually does not matter, if true. Given the state of U.S. China relations, intelligence officials should have made the fact of any such incursions as significant, and let the elected officials decide if the information was politically significant.

“Those and potentially other events were seemingly not discovered in real-time. One senior administration official said the events went “undetected.”

Sounds like just more BS designed to take the heat off of the Biden Crime Family which has received millions of dollars from China.

The agencies doing what they are paid to do, lie.

The information that the Chinese flew 3 balloons over the US while Trump was disclosed by the 51 former intelligence officials who claimed the Russians were involved in the Trump campaign and Hunter’s laptop wasn’t his.

So the DNI under Trump was not told of Chinese surveillance balloons? Highly doubtful. Ratcliffe says it didn’t happen.

Let me get this straight; specifics of previous incidents were not reported to the President, but the details of those incidents is classified, yet this latest incident went on for DAYS over the skies of the USA?

I’m seeing a very big conflict between the previous and latest incidents that clearly makes no sense no matter how you analyze it.

Something is very wrong, and I think the memes have nailed it.

Newly discovered intelligence. That’s a good one. Was it discovered by the 50 intelligence agents who said Hunter’s laptop is Russian disinformation?

The one constant is the lack of authoritative named sources.
