Confirmed: Biden Admin Sought to Conceal Chinese Spy Balloon from Public As It Crossed Continental United States – Mark Milley Involved

The Administration knew about the spy balloon but sought to conceal it from the American public.

The Biden regime did not even notify the Gang of Eight Congressional leaders about the security breach by the Communist Chinese.

Retired General Mark Milley knew about the Chinese balloon but followed the lead of the Biden regime and kept it from the public.

NBC reported:

On a Friday evening last January, Gen. Glen VanHerck, the Air Force commander in charge of defending American airspace from intrusion, called President Joe Biden’s top military adviser, Gen. Mark Milley.

U.S. intelligence officials had just notified the general that for roughly 10 days they had been tracking a mysterious — and enormous — object flying over the Asia-Pacific, VanHerck told Milley. The object had crossed into U.S. airspace over Alaska and VanHerck said he planned to dispatch military jets to fly alongside it and attempt to assess what it was.

The previously unreported Jan. 27 phone call between Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and VanHerck, the head of the North American Aerospace Defense Command, set off an eight-day scramble inside the Biden administration to respond to a Chinese spy balloon the size of three school buses floating over the U.S.

The spy balloon exposed an increasingly brazen China’s competitive advances miles above the Earth and brought the most critical relationship in the world to one of its lowest points in recent history…

…Administration officials at first hoped to conceal the balloon’s existence from the public, and from Congress, according to multiple former and current administration and congressional officials.

“Before it was spotted publicly, there was the intention to study it and let it pass over and not ever tell anyone about it,” said a former senior U.S. official briefed on the balloon incident.

:::::Seems to me General Milley was on China's payroll as well as Biden's.:::::

Thoroughly Modern Milley promised his Chinese handlers that he would tip them off if Trump decided to send nukes over the horizon to obliterate China. Total and complete traitor.

I don’t necessarily. Hell is for eternity. It doesn’t end, ever.

That's fine as a fallback position. Eternity however has a start date. The sooner that date arrives the better for the rest of US. How can we miss them if they don't leave?

Blackmail is the way the American political system works. The Chinese know this.

More impotently the justice dept. would do well to keep Mr. Biden off of the ballot for all the crimes he’s committed.

They helped rig the system for the democrat party because they are members of it.

aka Marxism
