Eli Crane — fmr. Navy SEAL; Homeland Security CommitteeIn our latest episode, Ask a Pol asks:In this month’s public UAP hearing, what did you make of the notion — from George Knapp and some others, they’re kind of convinced that military contractors have this and are hiding it from Congress based on executive branch contracts?Key Crane:“Yeah. I wouldn’t be surprised,” Rep. Eli Crane exclusively tells Ask a Pol. “They do that intentionally so that they can dodge FOIA — Freedom of Information Act — requests.”And that undercuts oversight?“100% — and it’s one of the reasons that I’ve been opposed to a lot of, you know, [Pentagon] programs,” Crane says. “It’s kind of rare on my side of the aisle to vote against defense projects and whatnot, but I just think there needs to be more accountability, more oversight and some of these agencies need to be reined in.”About Ask a Pol: We give listeners a front row seat to Congress.
