Ask a Pol uaps

Rep. Tim Burchett—known as one of the nicest guys in Congress—is p*****. While he tells Ask a Pol he’s not calling Oversight Committee Chair James Comer a liar, Burchett feels lied to. “ He told you —he told everybody—I was gonna chair it, and now they're saying, ‘Oh, well, you know, he's gonna get to do it—he just doesn't, he just doesn't get the gavel,” Burchett tells Ask a Pol . “I mean, what d...

The House Oversight Committee may be holding a public hearing on UFOs later this week, but that doesn’t mean its chair, Rep. James Comer (R-KY), is well-versed on the claims of the whistleblower at the center of it all.  “Have you looked into the claims of the whistleblower, David Grusch ?” we asked Comer at the Capitol Thursday.  “No,” Comer replied. “I’m coming to learn. I know nothing about thi...

Before then-President Barack Obama tapped Max Baucus to be America’s 11th ambassador to China, he represented Montana in the US Senate for 36 years—all but three of which overlapped with former Majority Leader Harry Reid’s 30 year stint representing Nevada.  While Reid was majority leader, Baucus chaired the powerful Finance Committee, which meant the two spent more time than most together behind...

Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin—Democrat’s second in command in the Senate—says he’s never discussed UFOs (or UAPs ) with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. Though Durbin says Schumer’s predecessor, Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada, discussed them “all the time.”  “There's this fellow named Bigelow in New Mexico who Harry used to always talk about,” Durbin recounts, as him and his security detail are...

Rough transcripts of exclusive interviews with 5 of the 6 original sponsors of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s new UAP amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act are attached. A senior aide of Sen. Schumer tells Ask a Pol : “It’s not related to Grusch.” They then sent along this quote (which we believe is the same one they released in the initial announcement, but we have to run an...

The witness list for next week’s highly anticipated UFO hearing in the House of Representatives remains a closely guarded secret, but a senior congressional source—one who’s been active and at the table throughout all stages of the investigation—confirmed to Ask a Pol that UAP whistleblower David Grusch is scheduled to be on the dais.  While Grusch is lined up, the hearings co-chairs, Reps. Anna P...

Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD) is an original cosponsor of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s new UFO amendment .  Last Thursday, July 13, when Ask a Pol spoke with Rounds on the eve of the new amendment being released publicly, the South Dakota Republican — a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee — struggled to remember UFO whistleblower David Grusch’s name and said he wasn’t too familiar with...

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) says Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s new UAP measure seems to have more to do with his predecessor, Harry Reid, than with UFO whistleblower David Grusch. “You have to ask Sen. Schumer the genesis of his interest, but I think it was because he kind of took the mantle from Sen. Harry Reid and wanted to just continue the rights of the public to know information,”...

It’s unclear what Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s thoughts are on UFO whistleblower David Grusch —but it’s clear his new bipartisan UAP measure isn’t in relation to the former US intelligence official.  “This feels a little bit more general?” “It is,” Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) tells Ask a Pol .  While Gillibrand’s continuing her investigation into Grusch (don’t miss our full new interv...

Last year, Rep. André Carson (D-IN) chaired Congress’ first UFO hearing in more than a half century. This year, he’s in the minority in the US House. But if his party were still running things, he’d want to hear directly from whistleblower David Grusch .  “That’s deep stuff. I’d love to have him come before the committee, but we’re in the minority,” Carson exclusively told Ask a Pol . “But I’d lov...

Subscribers asked, Ask a Pol answers: On May 28 , Speaker Kevin McCarthy, House Intelligence Chair Mike Turner (R-OH) and Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-OH) reported receiving a “tour of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and national security briefing at the National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC).” Wenstrup had never heard of whistleblower David Grusch—“which whistleblower is he?”—and was unfamil...

Easiest way to get a Nevada senator to stop is to mention their predecessor, former Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV). “Question that Harry Reid would have appreciated.” “Oh, okay. What’s that?” Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) replies. “Curious. Have you heard of this new UAP/UFO whistleblower, David Grusch and his claims?” “Oh, no. I haven’t.” “You haven’t?” “I haven’t.” “You should look into it.” “I wil...
