I started watching the hearing prepared to be deeply underwhelmed, but boy was this one hell of a ride!

Though the important testimonies given and the Immaculate Constellation report being entered into Congressional record were huge developments, my most important takeaway from the hearing is this:

Congress means business.

• Most of the committee members asking questions and driving the agenda today have been following this topic for a little over a year. During the hearings last July, it was obvious how new they were to this topic and how confused and overwhelmed they were by it.
• Today, there was none of that confusion or lack of confidence. Today, they, members from both parties, were all on the fucking war path, portraying little doubt in the fact that the Federal Government is unduly hiding shit from them and from the public.
• During the 16 months that have passed since the last hearing, they have pursued this issue in various ways and venues, participated in confidential meetings behind closed doors and had their aides research this further to get to the bottom of it.
• If the DoD (or from other relevant branches of government) had, during these 16 months, been able to provide sound, reasonable counter-arguments to the testimonies from Grusch et al, then there is no way in hell that we would have seen this assertive behaviour from the representatives.
• Had the DoD (etc) had the truth on their side, all but one or two of the most gullible or unscrupulous of the representatives would approach today’s hearing from a completely different angle than they did today.
• In reality, the exact opposite of that seems to be the case: members of both parties firmly stated that not only have they been denied satisfactory answers – certain actors have even tried to stop this hearing from taking place (and/or stop them from asking certain questions).

This might be obvious to most intelligent people here, but Jesus fucking Christ people, today was huge!
