The official told Fox News that "this information was discovered after the [Trump] administration left."

Fox news. Read it and weep.[/quote]

No names, no story[/quote]

You are lazy. It’s all over the place with quotes from Republican Members of Congress quoted by name that they were briefed by military about the balloons during Trump Administration. All the media have confirmed from multiple sources but Pentagon isn’t giving more details publicly. [/quote]
One single example of evidence from a credible news source, please.[/quote]

see post 16:56 you have been answered and you just ignore it.

You are a very confused troll.  VanHerck was admitting that there were intelligence gaps that resulted in NO ONE from the Trump administration knowing about any balloons.  [u]No one was briefed by the military about balloons during the Trump admin.[/u]  Get it now?   :roll:

So you acknowledge that there were Chinese balloons during the Trump Administration but the Trump people were too distracted or too dysfunctional to know about them? That’s your defense? [/quote]

And leftists are all ‘yeah, yeah, that’s what happened’.

Do none of you have a ‘spin’ detector? Any shred of a BS meter?  If the Trump administration had stated any of that, you would have immediately called it out.  There isn’t even a shred of critical thinking on the left anymore[/quote]

If this wasn’t so serious this would be funny in its irony … military evidence that at least three Chinese spy balloons sailed over the US without detection during Trump administration … the GOP posturing now makes them look ridiculous and hypocritical …

US intel assessment documents Chinese spy balloon incident under Trump
Updated 11:11 PM EST February 6, 2023
A US military intelligence report from last year that focused on China's use of high-altitude balloons mentioned sightings in Hawaii and Florida during the Trump presidency,

The April 2022 report, titled "People's Republic of China High-Altitude Balloon," found a Chinese spy balloon "circumnavigated the globe" in 2019 -- while Donald Trump was president -- at an altitude of roughly 65,000 feet, and "drifted past Hawaii and across Florida before continuing its journey," the US Air Force document states.

So funny that you neglected to include this information from your source:

However, it is not clear from the documents when US officials first became aware of the Chinese flights or what they assessed regarding their purpose.

The American military had a "domain awareness gap" that allowed the three other balloons to transit undetected, the Pentagon general responsible for providing air and missile defense over North America said on Monday.

Every day as a NORAD commander, it's my responsibility to detect threats to North America. I will tell you that we did not detect those threats," Gen. Glen VanHerck, commander of US Northern Command and North American Aerospace Defense Command said when asked about the three other balloons.
"And that's a domain awareness gap that we have to figure out, but I don't want to go into further detail."
[b]VanHerck added that the intelligence community after the fact was able to gather intelligence "from additional means that made us aware of those balloons that were previously approaching North America or transited North America."[/b]

Do you understand what “after the fact” means?   :roll:  :roll:
