Key Moran:
“People ought to be very cautious,” Sen. Jerry Moran exclusively tells Ask a Pol.

Caught our ear:
Why weren’t you at the UAP briefing?
“I had it in the Intel Committee,” Moran tells us.
ICYMI — NEW: Ask a Pol exclusive post-Mayorkas briefing
PSA: Moran Interview Background
Ask a Pol spoke with Moran Dec. 4 shortly after 3pm EST as the Intelligence Committee member was exiting an all-Senators classified briefing on the Salt Typhoon hack, which overlapped with a New Jersey Congressional delegation briefing on the drone incursions by DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
Moran is one of many interviews Laslo did outside the all-Senate SCIF briefing, many clarifying what Booker initially told us, thus we were forced to publish a rare correction.
Below find a rough transcript of Ask a Pol’s exclusive interview with Sen. Jerry Moran (R-KS), slightly edited for clarity.
*Stressful holiday season? Got you! Student? Lost a gig? Hard times? Been there. No questions asked. Just ping us. We even got a free subscription for you to give someone if you need a gift (for the right person…haha). Happy holidays, fam!
NO PAYWALL. Cheers!
TRANSCRIPT: Sen. Jerry Moran
SCENE: After leaving the briefing in the Senate SCIF — or sensitive compartmented information facility — Sen. Jerry Moran is waiting outside of an arriving tram underneath the US Capitol when Ask a Pol’s Matt Laslo quickly catches him on the New Jersey drone incursions.
Matt Laslo: “Why aren't you at the UAP briefing?”
Jerry Moran: “I had that briefing.”
ML: “Oh yeah?”
Moran nods affirmatively.
ML: “How’d it go?”
JM: “I had it in the Intel Committee.”
ML: “The look on your face says...”
The look on his face…serious.
JM: “People ought to be very cautious.”
The robotic, unforgiving Senate tram doors slide open.
Ho, ho, ho. Consider chipping in to support our independent journalism —Venmo, PayPal, Cash App — or just buy us a beer!
ML: “Yeah?”
Moran enters the tram; Ask a Pol stays back in the Capitol to stake out the SCIF.
ML: “Was that one earlier today or...?”
JM: “No. It would just be one of the normal ones.”*
*when in session, the US Senate Intelligence Committee, meets biweekly, Tuesday & Thursday afternoons, historically, for classified briefings.
ML: “Yeah?”
Moran nods.
ML: “Yeah. Preciate ya.”

Which people? Cautious about what? I always measure twice and cut once. But I’d like to know wtf I’m measuring. Cryptic stuff.
Thanks again for all you do, Matt and Andrey
*high five*
This is from December 4th - does suggest they know more than they're telling us.
Wait... White House, DHS, and FBI all said to not be concerned... but intel committee member who got the classified briefing says to be very cautious?! Isn't that basically the opposite?!
Well that doesn't help clear anything up at all lol
Good Morning USA, I got a feeling that it′s gonna be a wonderful day...
Sounds like a good time to redeem US savings bonds.
