Who?
Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO) — Task Force on Declassification of Federal Secrets
“Hiring Grusch gives us the precision to do a rifle shot at this topic.”
LISTEN: Laslo & Burlison
Ask a Pol asks:
Have you officially on-boarded your new staffer UFO whistleblower David Grusch?
Key Burlison:
“He starts April 1,” Rep. Eric Burlison exclusively tells Ask a Pol. “He’s filling out the paperwork. You'll have to check all the same boxes that every other employee does.”
Do you know about his clearance?
“We are working on that. That was, in fact, one of my first actions. As soon as he signed and we agreed, I signed a document to request that his clearance be restored,” Burlison says. “I think we sent it to someone at the Pentagon.”

Burlison’s bracing for roadblocks ahead…
“We'll see how much this town comes out and puts out all the stops,” Burlison says.
You're waiting for it?
“Right, and if it does then there'll be no questioning the fact that they're trying to hide this information,” Burlison says. “Hiring Grusch gives us the precision to do a rifle shot at this topic and try to get us the answers quick, and I like the fact that we do have this on a timeline of a four-month period.”

Caught our ear:
“When Grusch comes in we'll put together a plan, and if that plan includes doing a field hearing, then yeah,” Burlison says. “That's one of the things that we might talk about.”
Below find a rough transcript of Ask a Pol’s exclusive interview with Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO), slightly edited for clarity.
TRANSCRIPT: Rep. Eric Burlison
SCENE: After members of the House of Representatives cast their last votes for the week, Rep. Eric Burlison stays on the House floor to deliver a short speech honoring a constituent.
Ask a Pol’s Matt Laslo is listening to Burlison on C-SPAN as he waits in the Speaker’s Lobby — a private, historic space just off the floor — for the congressman to wrap up.
Because of a mini delay, Laslo’s still listening to Burlison’s speech when the congressman approaches in the Speaker’s Lobby. The two then proceed to walk outside — past large, heavy and loud post-9-11 security barriers — as they head back to the congressman’s office across the street.
Matt Laslo: “How you livin?”
Eric Burlison: “Good.”
ML: “You know what’s interesting? I just walked across the street with HPSCI Ranking Member Jim Himes, and I was like, ‘Do you know the name “David Grusch”’? And he's like, ‘yeah’ — so I guess he's looked into Grusch and his claims.”
EB: “Oh, okay?”
ML: “And Himes is top Dem on Intel.”
EB: “Oh, okay.”
Please, keep spreading the word about Ask a Pol!
ML: “Yeah.”
EB: “I’ll have to — don’t know him. I’ll have to…”
ML: “He’s Connecticut. Tall. Very skeptical of the issue, but that’s why it was interesting he knew the name ‘David Grusch.’ And that he knew his allegations, which is interesting. How umm…”
EB: “Are you okay to walk?”
ML: “Yeah. Whatever you need.”
The pair start heading towards Burlison’s office across the street.
ML: “Have you officially on-boarded Grusch?”
