Senators on Feb. 15 will receive a classified briefing on the Chinese balloon that was shot down by the U.S. military, according to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), which will also include information on how the U.S. stacks up against China militarily.

The briefing for all 50 senators comes after some lawmakers in recent days called on the Biden administration for more details on the matter. Republicans spent the week criticizing Biden for not taking the balloon down sooner, allowing it to fly over much of the United States before it was shot down over South Carolina.

They first have to hear from China how much information they can disclose to the Senators.

>>The briefing for all 50 senators...<<

Don’t we have 2 senators/state?

Since when do we have only 25 states?

They have to coordinate their stories so the lies being delivered are “believable.” Let’s see what other “squirrels” they come up with to distract us from the ongoing Biden family corruption news and other monkey business they’ve got their hands in.

Just heard Maria Baritiromo state that the CCP killed over 1 million Americans with their virus, and John Ratcliffe, former director of National Intelligence confirm it on Fox News.

Glad to see they got right on it. That “all 50” Senators thing was an interesting Freudian slip, though, wasn’t it?

Why didn’t the Pentagon tell the White House?
