Thanks 
Grusch has made claims that he's contacted us and we've never responded. That's just not true. He's also made 
claims that we don't have access to investigate his claims. That's also not true. If I recall correctly you indicated he 
refused to come talk with us, and you're quoted as suggesting as such. I'd suggest you emphasize the need to come 
speak with us. You have the contact email,

Hill OGC generally advise members only, 
They advise their employers, not members of the public 
It's either a lawyer at the Hill or a lawyer in DoD. Who am I sending them to? 
Either the law is law or we can scrub having anyone else come see AARO.

You can't tell Chuck to go to various committees on the Hill. It needs to be someone who represents AARO in the 
Executive Branch. 
There are a dozen Hill committees with Majority and Minority counsel who may not even agree. 
Depends on how badly people want this sorted. Send me chuck's contact …

Ho obviously doesn't have to do so and he oven said 'How do I know Sean is not a target of the ongoing criminal investigation'

I will be happy to provide that to Dave and Chuck if you like I think you have a fascinating and important iob and I 
want nothing more than to see the process work. Please don't think I am out to make your iob harder. 
Actually, Dave can't say any such thing since he hasn't asked me for anything. Only you. 
Actually, he probably can and might! But that doesn't matter, I have no specific reason to believe he will and I am not 
proposing that to him. Just trying to close the loop and move things t…
