      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.

          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.

                  It’s a classic “Accuse them of what you’re doing”-tactic. It’s meant to make conscientious people stop and examine what is considered a baseless critique from the beginning, essentially disrupting the conversation. In game theory, the accuser has nothing to lose but a lot to gain by using this tool, while you have little to gain and a lot to lose. Play in the mud with the pigs at your own risk.

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