TREASON! Rep. Waltz Says DOD Told Him China Spy Balloons Crossed US During Trump Years But Gen. Mattis DID NOT TELL TRUMP

(snip) Waltz then dropped this bomb. Rep. Waltz said that General Mattis was Secretary of Defense at the time and decided not to inform President Trump because the Pentagon thought Trump was “too provocative and aggressive!” (snip)

Per Wikipedia:

James Norman Mattis (born September 8, 1950) is a retired United States Marine Corps four-star general who served as the 26th US secretary of defense from 2017 to 2019. During his 44 years in the Marine Corps, he commanded forces in the Persian Gulf War, the War in Afghanistan, and the Iraq War.

“our senior military officers have also apparently forgotten the chain of command”

The chain of command BELOW THEM is sacrosanct.

The chain of command ABOVE THEM not so much.

Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL): My office has been briefed by the office of the Secretary of Defense of the current Pentagon that it happened over Florida, it happened over Texas, and that it’s happened before. We have more detailed questions but what is unclear, Stuart, at this point is, did the Pentagon under the Trump Administration brief the Trump White House and give them the option to take action or did they decide not to brief them for whatever reason? And there is some speculation, I talked to Trump administration officials over the weekend, that the Pentagon deliberately did it because they thought Trump would be too provocative and too aggressive. So that’s what we need to get to the bottom of and one person that I’m waiting to hear from that we haven’t heard from that list is former Secretary of Defense, General Mattis who was the secretary during this time period. What did he know and what did he decide to pass on and brief to the president.

Other than the names of Waltz, FOX commentator Stuart Varney, Trump, and Mattis, Waltz identified no other names, nor did Waltz directly assert he was told that information was deliberately withheld from President Trump.

So far it's simply "he said they said he said."

Let's ask Rep. Waltz for the specific names of the people he talked to, then asked them the names of the people they got their information from, then ask Mattis under oath what he knows, when he knew it, and who he informed.
