Do they run off if you ask questions more than a few syllables in length? Like, after you’d thanked him for telling you how big space is, if you’d then said:

“Senator, why has the chair of your committee (Gillibrand) sponsored an amendment to legislation that requires the Department of Defense and its contractors supply Congress with a <quote> comprehensive list of all non-earth origin or exotic unidentified anomalous phenomena material <end quote> ?”

...Would he already be into the elevator by the time you’d finished asking the question?

See page 216:

Long game. Like, seriously, have you heard what these lawmakers--Rubio, Gillibrand, Comer, Warner, Himes...etc etc etc--have told me!?!

That's me on this beat like 2 weeks.

As a veteran congressional reporter, I play comms director: If a vote is winding down, MY ONLY JOB BECOMES MAKING SURE THEY DON'T MISS THAT VOTE.

Otherwise, they never talk to us again.
