Ask a Pol asks:

Are you and other GOP leaders* having any conversations about these 11 “missing” scientists?

Key Grothman:

“Oh, that’s a good question to ask. I talked to Mr. [Oversight Committee Chair James] Comer about it, and we’re going to do things,” Rep. Glenn Grothman exclusively tells Ask a Pol UAP. “He’s very, very conscious of it, so that’s something we gotta do.”

*Subcommittee chairs like Grothman are a part of the leadership structure for both parties on Capitol Hill.

Will the hearing be the full Oversight Committee or the Secrets Task Force?

“I think bigger than them,” Grothman said.

Grothman cont’d: “I talked to Mr. Comer about it and we’re going to do things.”

Laslo: “Is that going to be a full Oversight hearing, maybe?”

Grothman: “I don’t know whether it’ll be full or what it is or behind the scenes — I don’t know, but we’re going to do something. He’s very, very conscious of it, so that’s something we gotta do.”

Laslo: “Yeah? What are you guys hearing on it? Like, it’s just strange, right?”

Grothman: “Very strange. We got to have a hearing.”

Laslo: “Yeah?”

Grothman: “Number one priority.”

Laslo: “Would you trust the Secret Task Force with that? Or is this bigger than them?”

Grothman: “I think bigger than them.”

Laslo: “Yeah? Preciate ya.”
