Hear that. And he says as much-- cause he starts talking about minority and majority political “tricks”-- BUT everything Comer’s committee has done thus far THIS Congress is political! Including witnesses.
They must have hella ghosts all up in their closets...cause the bar is low.
Could Comer pass a background check? I doubt it. What encompasses a background check? Was the person on antidepressants? Or the person is not who they claim to be? Comer is a pissant like most of them. In the past, he was dismissive of Trump's disgusting background so I question him on the ability to assess anyone. Granted I am sure there are loons out there who want to testify. Culling through whistleblowers must be very taxing work. Not.
I don't trust any of the politicians because only a small percentage of them do good for the sake of doing good. Their motivations are steeped in self-serving agendas. I trust Mark Warner. I trust Jon Ossoff. That's it.
Haha “This isn’t about me” - I can hear Comer saying!
Random tidbit: I’ve covered Congress for 17 years and have my own bureau--so some 10 or so other freelancers are credential under me annually--& in that time, I have NEVER been vetted by Congress.
I have been vetted by FBI, secret service, Pentagon and Marshall’s for, say, covering Chelsea Manning trial at Ft. Meade, covering the political conventions, or doing White House pool duty for each president since Bush.
But is still find it weird that Congress never vetted me. Like, i detoxed all the weed out of my system after graduating and heading to DC 5 days later for a 6-month Unpaid internship. Then no drug test--and not even a background.
I worked as a contractor in DC from 2005 through 2012. Having been involved in numerous projects across agencies and military branches I earned an on-the-job PhD in the federal government. How you stomach elected officials and their bloated egos is beyond me.
I worked with a really decent guy in DC who retired as CIO at the GAO in the early 2000s. We went to lunch one day and he recanted many political interactions he had had over his 40-year career. I asked him if he ever met one honest, decent elected official that America could trust. He didn't hesitate, "John Glenn." Of course, Glenn had retired then. Somehow I did not doubt him. Where are the John Glenns? Is there none of his caliber who can get elected?
Yeah, I want all who run for office to face background checks before either party accepts their checks to get on a ballot. I don't want to hear any of these yahoos speaking about background checks. Good grief.
I got my start as an entertainment / music reporter in Philly. Literally, putting up with asshole artists trained me to see through a-hole pols!
Citizen Cope ended an interview with me after 3 questions cause he was too shitfaced to form a full sentence. And an artist once asked me in his green room, a then-college junior:
“Got any coke?”
“No. But I have some weed.”
“Well what the fuck use are you to me then?”
An older Philly Inquirer reporter then expertly changed the subject. And later explained they didn’t even do coke anymore: They were just fucking with me.
I'm just coming across this piece. There's no indication that the proposed witnesses were military personnel. Jeremy Corbell stated in August that he and George Knapp were supposed to speak as witnesses at the hearing.
In a discussion about Matt’s article and Comer’s “failed background checks“, ‘Science Bob McGwier’ - himself ex-military, Virginia Tech and rubs shoulders with the in-crowd (he saw Grusch last year at SCU) said this In response:
“..Well, let me tell you what that means - It means 5% of the people who are retired and now ready to talk, they went off and got drunk and they wrecked their car or whatever.. they cheated on their taxes whatever - that doesn’t mean what they say isn’t true. It means they can’t be read back in so they can talk about what they know - because it’s classified. If they don’t have a clearance they can’t even talk about it. If they’ve gotten drunk and run into a tree or they’ve committed a felony etc., they’re not gonna be cleared so they can’t talk about what they know legally..”
A Ufo witness phoned Mufon Europe, described his sighting and asked for an explanation.
The Mufon guy said, that this was a kind of observation which other people made as well, and so he is not the only one person, and no reason to suspect any mental disturbance or illness.
The witness answered: "This is pity, I had hope, when I'm mad, this would be a reasonable explanation."
People got PTSD from this kind of thing.
There was even a meeting of the AAAS (Americ.Assoc. for the Advancem. of Sci.) some years before. They declared Ufo witnesses got same PTSD like Vietnam veterans, except that the Ufo witnesses' is imagniation, because there are no Ufos/Aliens. :-/
I do not understand the comments regarding security background checks. It doesn't make sense. If the witnesses pass their yearly security clearance reviews and currently hold an active clearance they should be good to go.
I wonder what it was that made some of the Witnesses Disqualified ?
That’s my new fascination!!!!
And listen to Comer’s voice--he’s like a tad red-faced but he’s mostly astounded!
All we know, for now, is they found some shit they ain’t stepping in twice!
Sometimes we judge everyone by our own standards and then we see Sascha Baron Cohen do his series - Who is America- and you get the shock of your life that numbskulls exist everywhere
It is DEFINITELY better to have Credible witnesses that have Clean Backgrounds.
We don't want to take any chances at this point, because we are SO. CLOSE to getting some REAL witness Disclosure !
It may be getting political?

Does this mean the UFO whistleblowers will be cross-examined by ‘Moms for Liberty’?
YES!!!! Here for that (or maybe I’d be hiding under a chair!)

I'd like to know from Comer or Burchett if it was Corbell and Knapp that failed the background checks.

Luna was a stripper before conning trump supporters into electing her & now she’s some kind of expert on congressional witnesses 🤣
Republicans are a shitshow of incompetence
