Thx. I’ll go back to that once a transcript is released.
My speculation—previous hearings spooked the Pentagon and CIA/NSA, private contractors etal (think Majestic 12 type org) and they wanted to drag the WH into their quagmire and (probably at the insistence of in house legal counsel) started sharing stuff with the WH in the last couple of years.
Then—as they feared—the WH sprung a leak.
Elizondo dodged and weaved on the “communication with aliens” question—lol.
Congress is definitely asking good questions.
I am impressed—sometimes asking the correct questions is half the battle in this space.
Elizondo “we have no idea of the intent”.
To even know that you don’t know requires an awful lot of knowledge that Elizondo cannot possess.
The rebuttal would be any US government or contractor that did know the intent.
There is no way he could be briefed on all of that.
That is why some folks into this subject (fairly or unfairly) accuse Elizondo of lying.
