    He gave specifics about how the intel agencies are covering up the UAP programs by using Special Access Programs that are not accessible to Congress, and how what they are not releasing should be released under law (citing specific US law codes). He also answered a congressman’s question about how they are funding these projects without Congressional approval, by saying they are “misappropriating funds” and said he has provided evidence of such to the Inspector General.

    FYI this is big news, that a member of the intel community testified under oath to Congress that their is a UFO / UAP project being illegally withheld from government oversight.

    In addition to all that, the Air Force pilots testified under oath before Congress that these UAP sightings are happening frequently and have been happening for decades, and that the craft exhibit characteristics that indicate technology that vastly exceeds anything we could touch with our own defense capabilities. Members of Congress expressed concern that this is a “grave threat to national security” on the record.

      Did Grusch testify about his conspiracy theory that the Pope helped smuggle a UFO out of Mussolini’s Italy to the U.S.?

        He did actually bring up that his knowledge of events went back to the 1930s… which I’m assuming is that theory.

            He is not there to provide a synopsis of the NewsNation interview, but rather to answer the specific questions posed by Congress. He stated multiple times during the hearing that what he is allowed to publicly say is all available in the NewsNation interview.

              Well then it seems like a major oversight of congress to not investigate his claim that the Catholic Church is in the business of smuggling UFOs and hiding their involvement.

                You’ll have to take that up with your Representative, assuming you’re a United States citizen.

                Congress has nothing, that means zero, to do with the Catholic church or the pope. You’re welcome for the help in understanding how things work.

                  Are you saying congress never investigates things that happen between the U.S. and the leader of another nation and a religion? Are you sure about that? Because that sounds like a really important thing to investigate if they’re smuggling UFOs to the U.S.

      One thing’s for sure. If he’s lying about being prepared to present the evidence he claims to have, we’ll hear about the perjury charges in the near future. If that doesn’t happen, things get much more interesting.

      Realistically I expect to be hearing about a perjury charge, but part of me hopes for the longshot chance of being proven wrong.

        The Intelligence Community Inspector General received his official whistleblower complaint along with evidence, and they stated his case was “credible and urgent” and Grusch is being represented by the former Inspector General for the case. He definitely has evidence to back up what he’s saying, at least in part.

        Like everything, there is lots of grey area between “evidence of aliens” and “lying”. He probably has evidence of something, but it’s debatable whether it’s evidence of everything he claims. He won’t necessarily get perjury charges for interpreting evidence in a peculiar way.

      said he has provided evidence of such to the Inspector General.

      I missed that, do you have an approximation on when during the hearing he said it?

          I assume it will be transcribed and put online pretty quick. Makes for easy searching. Still worth a shot, I’ve seen people make notes of video timestamps almost like others highlight text.
