Who?
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) — Armed Services & Intelligence Committees
LISTEN: Laslo & Gillibrand
Ask a Pol asks:
What do you make of the White House saying the FAA knew what all these were on the East Coast?
Key Gillibrand:
“We're not concerned about most of it. We're concerned about specific drone incursions over Langley and arsenals and other sensitive military sites,” Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand exclusively tells Ask a Pol UAPs. “It's very concerning, and so I think they just listened to the pablum that came from law enforcement to say we're not worried about most of the reports because most are of aircraft and other known objects. But it doesn't answer the question. They don't know…”
“We have adversaries flying drones over our bases to collect intelligence,
it's a huge intelligence failure” — Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand
Is SASC taking over Senate Intel’s fmr. UAP investigation?
“Because I asked about it in Armed Services, [SASC Chair] Roger Wicker said, ‘Did you have co-sponsors?’” Gillibrand says. “He said, ‘Let's try to look at it in this committee.’”
ICYMI — Wicker does 60 Minutes, not Ask a Pol — yet…
Caught our ear:
“We have adversaries flying drones over our bases to collect intelligence, it's a huge intelligence failure,” Gillibrand tells us. “And so there is no excuse for not bringing them down, assessing whose they are or following them to their place of launch.”
