After Returning From Ukraine, US Lawmaker Springs ‘Imminent Threat’ Warning That Dems Admit Is Nothing New
by Tyler Durden
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said “there is no need for public alarm” after House Intelligence Committee Chair Mike Turner (R-Ohio) called on President Biden to declassify information about a “serious national security threat.”
“I saw Chairman Turner’s statement on the issue and I want to assure the American people, there is no need for public alarm,” Johnson told reporters in the Capitol on Wednesday.
“We are going to work together to address this matter as we do all sensitive matters that are classified.”
The market appears to have been right in shrugging off seen through this latest distraction from Rep Mike Turner as more details are leaked.
First things first, Turner just returned from Ukraine (likely having promised to push for more billions for Zelenskyy).
Second, within an hour of the report, three Members of the U.S. House Intelligence Committee have told Politico that the National Security Threat caused by a New Russian Capability is “Disturbing” but that it is a Longer-Term Concern “Not a Today thing” and that, “It is a Serious Issue but not an Immediate Crisis.”
So, the question is – was this:
a) a distraction from Biden’s broken brain, or
2) a last desperate attempt to get more funding for anything-but-the-US-border, or
iii) a path to pitching Putin as the uber-bad-guy again after his interview with Tucker Carlson.
Either way – it seems like a nothing-burger (almost in their own leaked words)… but then there’s this…
Space lasers?
The way we solve this threat is by letting in more illegals and having our tax dollars pay for them.
