Former DNI Ratcliffe Is Latest Official to Confirm NO Spy Balloons Over Continental US During Trump Years! – MEDIA LIED: John Ratcliffe was Director of National Intelligence under President Trump. On Saturday the Biden regime admitted the China spy balloon was first spotted a week earlier in Alaska back on January 28, flew from there into Canada and down into the continental US. On Tuesday the balloon entered Idaho and crossed the US for the next four days. The China spy balloon was then shot down after it left US territory and had collected all of its data for the Chinese Communist Party. This was an unprecedented event in US history. The fake news is hoping to convince Americans that these China spy balloons cross the US all the time. In fact, fake news insisted that this happened during the Trump years – three times. Former Trump advisor John Bolton, former DNI Ric Grenell, Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper, Former Secretary of State and CIA Director Mike Pompeo, and others, told FOX News that this is a lie. John Ratcliffe is the latest to confirm that this latest media report is yet ANOTHER deep state lie to protect Democrats and feckless, senile Joe Biden. John Ratcliffe: It’s not true. I can refute it. Former Secretary of Defense Mark Esper refuted it yesterday, former Secretary of State and CIA Director Mike Pompeo has refuted it. But Maria, the American people can refute it for themselves. Do you remember during the Trump administration when photographers on the ground and commercial airline pilots were talking about a spy balloon over the United States. The people could look up and see it with the naked eye. And a media that hated Donald Trump wasn’t reporting. I don’t remember that either because it didn’t happen. Oh Good Grief. US Military Fears China May Reach Balloon Wreckage Before They Can Get There – Proper Salvage Vessel Won’t Be There For Days Right!! Appears they want China to retrieve it so nothing can be truly exposed. Maybe they will wait for the Chinese to get to it first? Maybe that's the plan? Update: (All on the same day!) Several U.S. Navy and Coast Guard vessels established a security perimeter where the balloon hit the water, about six nautical miles off the coast of South Carolina, and were searching for debris, a senior defense official and a senior military official said on Feb. 4. The Epoch Times 'This is treason if true': Chinese spy balloon details hidden from Trump: The headlines have been filled in the last couple of days with word of Chinese spy balloons crossing the United States at high altitude. So far, the U.S. has shot one down. Of course, defenders of Joe Biden, on whose watch the apparent spying is taking place, immediately had to blame Donald Trump. They charged the same scenario occurred on Trump's watch, that China's balloons crossed the United States, but without any news reporting. Trump and his staff have denied they ever were told about them. And now a report at the Gateway Pundit reveals a detail that should alarm Americans: Military leaders knew about the balloons while Trump was in office but withheld the information from the commander-in-chief. The report explains it was U.S. Rep. Mike Waltz, R-Fla., who was interviewed by Stuart Varney on the Fox Business Network. Waltz said current Pentagon officials briefed him over the weekend and said Chinese spy balloons crossed over Texas and Florida during the Trump years. The report continued, "Waltz then dropped this bomb. Rep. Waltz said that Gen. James Mattis was secretary of defense at the time and decided not to inform President Trump because the Pentagon thought Trump was 'too provocative and aggressive!'" Explained the Gateway Pundit report, "This is treason if true. Mattis put the U.S. in danger, offered comfort to the enemy, allowed Chinese spying on U.S. installations, and then hid this from his superiors, including the president of the United States." https://www.wnd.com/2023/02/treason-true-chinese-spy-balloon-details-hidden-trump/
