Blumenthal: Lawmakers Have Seen ‘No Evidence’ Boats the U.S. Military Is Striking Have Drugs
Breitbart ^ | 10/31/2025 | Pam Key

Posted on 11/01/2025 2:32:44 PM PDT by DFG

Friday on MSNBC’s “Deadline,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) claimed lawmakers had seen “no evidence” the Trump administration’s military strikes were on drug boats.

Host Nicolle Wallace asked, “What briefings have you received on the success of striking drug traffickers? Have you seen evidence or images of drugs being found on the boats that have been struck?”

Blumenthal said, “What briefings? Zero. And as you may know, I think it’s public by now, there was a briefing for Republican senators only, which is unprecedented. So we’ve seen no evidence, none whatsoever, as to who is in these boats, more than ten of them that have been struck already, who are manning or operating them, what they’re carrying and where they’re headed.”

He added, “Nor have we received any briefing as to what their strategy is in amassing one seventh of our Navy, literally one seventh of all our naval power in the vicinity of Venezuela, whether it is to strike those military installations, as the Herald and the Wall Street Journal have reported they consider doing. And what the end game is. There was a briefing yesterday in the House for Democratic, as well as Republican members of Congress. And my discussions with those members of Congress indicates that it was completely unconvincing and virtually uninformative. So this administration is concealing facts. If it has facts that would justify such strikes.”

Senator stolen valor. You don’t get briefings because you will warn the enemy.

“So this administration is concealing facts. “

Of course. I doubt they wish to share secret information with democrats who will tip off the enemy.

Sorry, Dick, but there’s infinitely more evidence that these were drug boats than there’s evidence of you serving in Nam.

How about the floating packages where the boats got hit?

Oh, I know…”These aren’t the drugs we are looking for!”

Stolen Valor is right, he is a disgusting human.

Though he may be right about the ‘drugs’ and it being CCP fentanyl only. I suspect it may actually be really well done counterfeit dollars to fund the ongoing Communist insurrection to destabilize the USA. What has been happening in the USA, UK, Canada and France and in all the free West is state actor managed and intentional.

They should have set up a trial court, right in the middle of the Gulf of America.

Can't imagine why the administration won't share the intel and sources in Venezuela who confirm when the boats (and submarines) depart, what they're carrying, and probable courses, with Congressional Democrats.

Yes, the stolen valor dude needs to be kicked out of congress...

But facts of who these boaters were and what their cargo was should be established.

I’ll stand in for this Nam poser because I was in Nam in 1970 and have 8 medals including a Bronze Star. This great Country on Earth should be sure that who they kill deserves it and not afraid of passing out the evidence.

I hope he’s absolutely right and truthful… If that’s possible.

If they haven’t been shown anything, they won’t betray anything to enemies.

Because if they know, they must most certainly will.

Why should the administration share intelligence with someone who works to destroy the nation?

I have seen no evidence that Blumenthal served as a Marine Sgt. during the Vietnam war.

Democrats can’t be trusted with any sensitive information. They are traitors.
