House Intelligence Committee Chair Mike Turner has made information concerning a “serious national security threat” available to all members of Congress to review, the committee said on Wednesday.

While Turner and the White House remained vague on what the threat entailed, two sources and a US official tell CNN the threat is related to Russia. Multiple sources familiar with the intelligence characterized it as “very sensitive.”

One of the sources who has seen the intelligence confirmed that “it is, in fact, a highly concerning and destabilizing” Russian capability “that we were recently made aware of.”

The big question is: Is Turner a never-Trumpet (or even a run-of-the-mill RINO? If yes, then this is purely political and aimed at Donald Trump (and, thus, at we, the American people).

In other words. A scare tactic so that we are scared into giving that turd Zelensky 61 billion and pay for Gaza aid.

Sending Taiwan money isn’t going to stop China either.

Hypersonic missiles?

Transmedium UAPs?

Nukes secretly smuggled through Mexico into the U.S.?

Development of advanced artificial general intelligence?

Chuck Norris defected to Russia?

???????

NEW: Per sources, this national security warning is not an urgent situation that the US needs to concern itself with “today.” It is a longer-term problem. And this raw intel has existed on the Hill for some time. Not sure what prompted the Turner statement.

Should note that multiple sources say there have been different versions of the intel circulating and at first it was only available to a certain group, then it was opened up. Again, the intel itself isn’t super new

More statements expected from members soon to try and diffuse the panic

Funny, Drudgereport headline “No reason to panic”.

Leaking this teaser through CNN smells of fish and politics. If there is something to tell, tell it to all of us.

My guess is they want to hype the hypersonic missiles we’ve known about for years that the Russkies just used in Ukraine, but who knows? It’s a secret from mere American taxpyers.

But if there really is a big new threat, perhaps it would be wiser to seek peace in Ukraine than throw more fuel on the war.

Political?

If this is a political way to get the ukraine funding bill passed, the rep should be exited from Congress for using national scare tactics.

True that.

He’s likely using fear to push money for his MIC buddies.

“it is, in fact, a highly concerning and destabilizing” Russian capability “that we were recently made aware of.”

Sounds like the Russians hacked the deep state's servers for real this time and are going to expose all the illegal activity.

NBC News offers: Four sources with knowledge of the issue said the threat is a Russian military capability.

So not Trump-related, probably nothing new, just a distraction from other news.

Erin Banco ain’t too bright if he/she can’t figure out what Turner is up to.

We figured it was BS because of the source.

Yep, bolsters Biden through distraction. Reinforces the plea for money to Ukraine.

I’m surprised we haven’t been nuked every week since Brandon was installed.

Guess we should count our blessings...

Perhaps you’re right. But we can defeat them through the sheer power of our wokeness and the strength of our diversity. /sarc

Just think, we have been told for 2 years that Russians are backwards alcoholics that can’t shoot straight. Now we are supposed to believe they are far more advanced than being bumpkins.

Now which lie is it?
