As far back as late November, U.S. intelligence officials were warning that a contagion was sweeping through China’s Wuhan region, changing the patterns of life and business and posing a threat to the population, according to four sources briefed on the secret reporting.
Concerns about what is now known to be the novel coronavirus pandemic were detailed in a November intelligence report by the military's National Center for Medical Intelligence (NCMI), according to two officials familiar with the document’s contents.
The report was the result of analysis of wire and computer intercepts, coupled with satellite images. It raised alarms because an out-of-control disease would pose a serious threat to U.S. forces in Asia -- forces that depend on the NCMI’s work. And it paints a picture of an American government that could have ramped up mitigation and containment efforts far earlier to prepare for a crisis poised to come home.
"Analysts concluded it could be a cataclysmic event," one of the sources said of the NCMI’s report. "It was then briefed multiple times to" the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s Joint Staff and the White House.
From that warning in November, the sources described repeated briefings through December for policy-makers and decision-makers across the federal government as well as the National Security Council at the White House. All of that culminated with a detailed explanation of the problem that appeared in the President’s Daily Brief of intelligence matters in early January, the sources said. For something to have appeared in the PDB, it would have had to go through weeks of vetting and analysis, according to people who have worked on presidential briefings in both Republican and Democratic administrations.

Oh goody. Unnamed Sources is at it again
Gee he knew before China even had a patient zero
Fake made up News..........
Unnamed sources.......equals four reporters in the same office.
It would take weeks of analysis for critical new intelligence to possibly reach a briefing for the president?
Maybe this story is more of a limited modified hangout to explain why Trump wasn’t told about this six weeks earlier?
FWIW George Webb has been going with info and the theory that this was actually an inside military/intel/NATO operation against Trump. (If he’s right about NATO, interesting that Boris would hit with the lethal strain, no?) That the virus comes from the bioweapon program we had at Fort Detrick, that the global sport war games in Wuhan in October were used to help spread it across the globe, that Peter Strzok and the CDC/Fauci contingent actually control their puppet Tedros at WHO, etc.
Try to imagine the howling by the leftists and celebrities if the lockdown of air travel occurred in November!
Doesn’t really matter. If you follow their timeline, it was discussed at various levels and forwarded to the National Security Council in December. It didn’t hit the President’s Daily Brief until JANUARY.
Isn’t that the time period the President appointed the Task Force?
Isn’t that the time period the President closed all incoming traffic from China?
Isn’t that the time period the WHO insisted there was no cases of human-to-human transmission?
Isn’t that the time period the Democrats and MSM excoriated Trump for stopping traffic from China?
Isn’t that information also disseminated to both the House and Senate Intelligence Committees?
By their own timeline, they have shown the President acted fairly swiftly as soon as he became aware of the problem, even while dealing with impeachment and being taken to task by both the Democrats and the MSM.
What did he do wrong?
Here we go. Grounds for impeachment now for sure!
So why didn’t Shifty Schift leak it.
Is this like one month after Gates ID2020?
Intel community is corrupt.
Declassified Memo Hinted of 1941 Hawaii Attack
And the Newzak continues. Back in November, the headlines concerned Trump’s tax returns, Schiff asking the Ukraine to not investigate the Bidens, transgender children, etc.
He was to busy trying to impeach Trump.
Why didn’t the “anonymous” “intelligence” source contact ABC news in November or December or say January if this was so big. So tired of this made up crap. This story is about as reliable as Fauci’s models.
I can imagine what the RAT Party reaction would have been if Trump tried to impose a travel ban in November or even December.
They might have impeached him.
- Intel agencies play CYA just like every other Washington bureaucrat.
- After their behavior to date, why on earth would Trump ever believe them?
To make a full set of balls
Remember the question that hammered Nixon, rephrased now, “When did Schiff know about the coronavirus outbreak, and when did he tell Pelosi.” If it was before the impeachment, then, the Democrats own this epidemic in USA, and contributed to the pandemic by distracting world attention with the impeachment. Pelosi insisted that she wouldn’t impeach because it wouldn’t hurt Trump enough to change the 2020 election, but a crashed economy, thank you Fauci, from a pandemic lockdown just might.
They’ve been warning of a pandemic since SARS in 2003.
He's also effectively said...Let'm die...no meds for you!!
You're just a number to Fauci...He does not care what anyone else thinks. He's, how do you say it, anecdotal.
Go back to april. Look at the CT scans, symptoms and progression of so called vape induced lung disease and compare with covid-19. Near 100% of vape products are made in China.
