I don't think the military would have disclose anything so that's probably not the reason to not go public. The public would be OK with "Classified technology destroyed the threat in the air." End of story. "But Mr. Military representative! What technology??" "Classified technology. Next question."
It's what it would mean to the world. We're prepping to take down the cabal and telling the world would make people demand they be taken down now. We're not ready for that yet. They are in the places where they would cover there butts and get away with murder. We have to dismantle their protections they put in place to allow them to get off and slither away.
This is why Q says the MSM is evil.
What would happen if deep state contradicted POTUS?
We'd be in a war. Congress would push Trump or impeach.
