US intelligence/defense says these balloon flights were not discovered until after Trump left office. Trump administration never was told of them. Intelligence officials are just now offering to brief former Trump officials in these incursions.

Correct... in fact, the Pentagon had to make the correction that they never informed the Trump administration about any balloons... but Larry likes to stretch the truth...

Not just stretched, but bent and broken at times.

When did any Chinese spy balloons fly over the US during Trump's presidency?

According to the DoD they did it three times but did not go into details on dates and times. To do so would tell the Chinese more than we want them to know about our ability to track their efforts. My late Brother Jim, worked for NSA doing electronic spying on the Chinese. He told me once that this type of incursion is designed to cause "chatter." From that chatter, one gets information on military and spy capabilities. Donald Trump could have approved shooting these down and chose to not do so.

Well according to Mark Esper, former Sec. of Defense it didn't happen. I'll take his word over anonymous Pentagon officials.

So, Lucien Thornbow is your real name? The information was given "for attribution," not by an anonymous source. It was provided as part of a FOIA request, that DoD was responding to.

Well the DoD left out an important bit of info (shoutout to RunawayTrain and AmericanViking for already discussing this). Trump admin. didn't know about the balloons because the DoD hadn't figured out the balloons had been in US airspace until AFTER Trump was out of office. Methinks the DoD needs to get its act together.

Any known intrusion of American airspace by a hostile (or potentially hostile) force requires a Flash Sequence Report to the Briefing Room. The former president's disdain for and avoidance of security briefings are legend. Ignorance is bliss to him and his followers.

Funny, all the people in charge of doing that never did when Trump was President.
Again, total lie, total bullshit, total propaganda.

So, you have all the records of reports to the White House? Russia, and others, routinely test our defenses by "wandering" into our airspace. Also, are you sure that the version of what happened is not being projected through the lens of the National Security Act of 1947? America's interests are not served by the world knowing how little attention the Tangerine Tyrant paid to National Security issues. Criticism over a "breakdown in communications," as a plausible explanation is preferrable.

I have read many accounts of National Security Briefers, reporting that Trump did not want their information. A "cover story," about these balloons being discovered years after they were no longer in the air, is more palatable to the powers that be, than "He wasn't paying attention." If I were an analyst for a hostile, I would recalibrate my analyses based on that info/

It's just like you giving him a pass for letting this breach happen on his watch, rather than hold him responsible for people not respecting him enough to tell him everything. If Biden had let this happen on his watch, you guys would be all over him like a cheap suit.

Nonsense

The GOP in the House of Representatives should investigate why, under President Trump's weak leadership China was able to penetrate our airspace three times and it was not reported to the White House.
