LISTEN: Laslo & Burlison
“…a new whistleblower...”
Ask a Pol asks:
Ask a Pol UAP was told a second public UFO hearing was in the works?
Key Burlison:
“Potentially. Right now we’re focused on getting some people in a SCIF [Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility]…. who would not be comfortable at this time going public,” Rep. Eric Burlison exclusively tells Ask a Pol UAP. “There’s one person that’s a new whistleblower that we have a lead on that might go public.”

Caught our ear, per David Grusch:
Is David Grusch still going to be on your congressional staff next year?
“Into next year. I don’t know how far,” Burlison tells us. “But it all depends on if we have other hearings that we need to be prepped for and things like that…”

Matt Laslo: “How are you doing, sir?”
Rep. Eric Burlison: “How are you?”
Laslo: “Living the dream.”
Burlison: “Yeah?“
Laslo: “Have you heard back on any of those interrogatories?”
Burlison: “We haven’t heard back.”

Back to the Future
Burlison: “Like, right now I’m having my team do a reassessment of like where we, what we’ve accomplished, where we’re at…”
Laslo: “Yeah?“
Burlison: “…what things are left to do or what strings we need to pull. So, I’m asking for [David] Grusch to kind of put together that end-of-year, you know, synopsis, because a lot is — I mean, it’s just kind of swimming in tons of things.”
Laslo: “Yeah, right? Are you — is he still going to be on your staff next year?”
Burlison: “Uhh, at this time, I mean, we’ll — into next year. I don’t know how far.”
Laslo: “Yeah?“
Burlison: “But it all depends on if we have other hearings that we need to be prepped for and things like that.”
Laslo: “Yeah? Are you — I heard a second hearing was in the works at the end of this year, beginning of next?”
Burlison: “Potentially. Right now we’re focused on getting some people behind, you know, in a SCIF [Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility] who might feel comfortable talking who are not normally — who would not be comfortable at this time going public.”
Laslo: “Yeah?“
Burlison: “There’s one person that’s a new whistleblower that we have a lead on that might go public.”
Laslo: “Interesting.”
Burlison: “And so we need to look at that.”
Laslo: “Is that — but you want them in a SCIF first…if that’s where they feel comfortable?”
Burlison: “Umm — whatever they feel comfortable with.”
Laslo: “Yeah.”
Burlison: “So…”
Laslo: “Have you felt that new disclosure documentary [Age of Disclosure] have an impact? Like, are any of your other colleagues mentioning it or…?”
Burlison: “You know, I was hoping that it would, but no.”*
*UPDATE COMING: After the vote series, while Laslo was asking Burlison a follow-up question on the UAPDA, one of Burlison’s colleagues interrupts and gushes about Age of Disclosure. Stay tuned…
Laslo: “Yeah?”
Burlison: “It hasn’t really.”
Laslo: “Do you — like, have you guys looked at the Smithsonian Archives?”
Burlison: “Not yet.”
Laslo: “Because aren’t there provisions in the NDAA [National Defense Authorization Act] that look at the Smithsonian? Or give them directions?”

Burlison: “I don’t remember that, but I would have to go back and look.”
Laslo: “Have you…?”
Burlison: “Thanks, Matt.”
Laslo laughs, mostly to himself.
Laslo: “Yeah?”
Burlison turns to walk onto House floor.
Laslo: “Have a good one.”
Laslo keeps trolling the Capitol’s marble halls looking for lawmakers…
