House Intelligence Chair Says US at ‘Highest Level’ of Potential Terrorist Threat
The Epoch Times ^ | June 16, 2024 | Jack Phillips

Posted on 06/16/2024 2:26:30 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

The threats are ‘no longer speculative’ and ‘not longer hypothetical,’ Rep. Mike Turner said.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner (R-Ohio) said Sunday that the United States is currently at its “highest level” for the possibility of a terrorist attack occurring on American soil.

During an interview with CBS News, Mr. Turner was asked about reports of recent arrests with individuals with ties to the ISIS terrorist group in the United States.

“What’s important about these reports and what we’re seeing, especially in conjunction with [FBI] Director [Christopher] Wray’s public statements, that we are at the highest level of a possible terrorist threat, that the administration’s policies have absolutely directly related to threats to Americans,” Mr. Turner said.

He added to CBS News that the threats are “no longer speculative” and “not longer hypothetical” in light of public comments made by the FBI director during multiple congressional committee meetings in the past six months or so.

“We have actual administration officials stepping forward and certainly our committee and our committee members have concurred on the intelligence that we’re seeing,“ Mr. Turner told the outlet. ”That as a result of the administration’s policies allowing people to cross the border unvetted, we have terrorists that are actively working with inside the United States that are a threat to Americans.”

His comments came in light of reports, citing unnamed U.S. officials, that claimed that at least eight Tajikistan nationals with alleged ties to ISIS were arrested in several major cities including New York and Los Angeles. The Epoch Times has not been able to independently verify those reports.

This is primarily caused by PTA moms no longer having PTA meetings due to summer.

Unfortunately, it will be no doubt true. “We had them on our radar” is bound to be exclaimed.

You’re right! They have a lot of spare time on their hands, now.

Have you also noticed that all those terrorists who were at School Board meetings haven’t been heard from in a long time? Where did THEY go?

Most of the time you can read a paywalled article by clicking on the "Speedreader" icon in the URL bar (highlighted in yellow below). It works for this article.

I never heard of that but I don’t get that icon? Thank you though, I will look for that whenever I see articles that may have it in the future.

Brave and Firefox have the icon. Chrome doesn’t. I highly recommend Brave because it blocks lots of ads.

I should install Brave or Firefox and switch to it when you come across a paywalled article you would like to read.

Meanwhile the FBI is running down 80 year old grandmothers. You think the investigations following the Pearl Harbor fiasco were sickening, wait for the next one.

I preferred Nakasone commenting on blacks, Mexicans, and Puerto Ricans. Made me laugh.

Boil it all down to the dry bone, and what are you likely to see? Plan B to prevent Trump returning to the White House.
“If we don’t see another George Floyd type event happening in the news, then we’ll have to invent one (again).

I’m telling you, they will stop at nothing, no matter how ridiculous, no matter how damaging to individual private lives.

The bloodshed would be brought upon us by the current administration.

The current obama administration is our enemy.
