I suspect that Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer were read in... They are not likely briefing the whole gang of eight. This is why you see so many pissed off Senators. But not much from Schumer or McConnell. My estimation is that right now, the CCP has fully activated McConnell, Schumer and Biden. Just intuition, but it feels like this is a signal to the boys that it is time for them to fully submit our county to their CCP masters. The Balloon, once public and no action... the signal appears to have been received. Biden is not the only US Senator who sold his country out to the CCP. It looks like the old boys probably helped install other around them to protect them in the US Senate and help drill them deep down into the bowls of our Government. Why now... Biden is about to be removed from Office and the CCP doesn’t want to lose their prime asset.
That is most likely correct.
Aside from that, the chicoms want to see our reaction..or lack of reaction.
