A key senator said Sunday she believes there are terrorist sleeper cells in the U.S. that could carry out attacks similar to the ones in France that left 17 people dead last week.
Sen Dianne Feinstein, California Democrat and vice chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, did not comment on specific threats against America but said other attacks are possible.

Waterboarding gave her that information.
Do you think she is going to try and use this for gun control legislature bills?
And that’s just from the staffers in her office......
Is there any info from Border officials on how many they have caught? I know of four? terrorists?
It’s OK when Libs benefit. They condemn what got them the benefit. But they capitalize on it regardless.
Pretty much why a liberal stands by the curb on Mondays. Human garbage.
My fingers are crossed.
Gee, too bad she’s done as much as possible to disarm her fellow Californians, huh?
Besides, most of the coasts are under liberal control, and they are doing just fine destroying the country, and letting the evils of progressism and islam run wild.
I think California may be the next target because those people are asleep at the wheel, with their liberal ideas. I know ISIS said ‘we will see you in NYC’....
I still think the two officers killed in NYC were a terrorist attack masked as police anger.
Our border openings are mostly in the western area of the country. I do know a bunch of Muslims went to Wyoming via Obama immigration to get Section 8 vouchers in Cheyenne. I don’t understand WHY we must support these people.
She sounds like she’s hoping for it to prove herself right.
Aren’t there more than a hundred left at Gitmo to release?
Seniority may be her friend,but in this case it’s certainly not our’s.
wow. Fineswine is so brilliant.
Feinstein is someone who said PTSD is a new phenomenon that resulted from Bush’s Iraq war to try and pass her gun control bill in 2013. Dems use anything at their disposal to push their agenda.
LOL I agree.
Interesting that all the comments seem to be criticisms of DF and government agencies. Which they have certainly earned.
However, we might want to pay a teensy bit of attention to the fact she points out, that we are very vulnerable to such attacks.
Probably a little bit less than in France, but not enough to make much of a difference.
Preventing surprise attacks by a determined enemy in a free society is just about impossible.
I think we’d deal much better with a Mumbai-style attack than the Indians did, but that would be simply a matter of the attack lasting hours rather than days, and deaths hopefully in the dozens instead of hundreds.
Such attacks simply cannot be handled by defense, since the attackers can choose when and where to strike and we cannot defend everywhere. The only defense is intelligence that prevents an attack. A quick response to minimize damage is about all that can be done once it starts.
Sleeper cells?
No. People who decide they’re going to practice their ideology to the fullest extent.
All it takes is a hateful bastard to get them riled up - they’re not too smart- and they go off and kill people.
Bull crap on the PTSD coming from Iraq War...it used to be called SHELL SHOCK in WWII. And they had it in WWI. I know, because I had an Uncle with it from WWII, who committed suicide years later, he was in the thick of war and came home severely damaged. He would hit the ground when a plane went over, and couldn’t stand loud noises.
As in the French Massacre, those were mostly of same family and friends...not much of a cell, mostly people sitting around planning murder.
