This DoD Washington Headquarters Services FOIA release (case 25-F-2554) collects emails and records about Luis Elizondo's role in AATIP, dated 2017 to 2021. It includes Elizondo's June 2019 letter disputing Pentagon statements about him, and his 2017 emails to Neill Tipton about transferring the portfolio. OSD Public Affairs and Navy officials discuss whether AATIP ended in 2012 or continued informally. The release also contains 2021 personnel database printouts and a Public Affairs email sending material to the DoD OIG.
Frankly, it might well be to Lue's benefit and that of TTSA and the History Channel to have a pissing match about this with DoD/OSD but personally I'd hate to see that. I'm glad that does not seem to have occurred to Lue yet but it may become unavoidable if there is not some clarification since his integrity is publicly being called into question. I also want to point out that Lue insists that he was NOT detailed to DIA, another falsehood according to Lue. I know your office and its credo very well and fully understand that you and your colleagues are absolutely committed to being as transparent as possible. There is not the least question in my mind regarding your integrity or that of your colleagues in OSD Public Affairs based on serving in OSD during 2 Administrations. However, you have clearly have not been given a full or complete picture on this issue. I hope this information proves useful. There is much more than this sample. Lue has a lot of friends on the inside who I believe will continue to push out more unclassified information on his behalf if this becomes a pissing match. Indeed one of them will soon be appearing on the History Channel show talking about their work with Lue on these matters AFTER the time period you seem to believe he was no longer involved with AATIP (although that individuals identify is protected). I hope this information proves useful. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of further assistance. Lue cherishes his relationship with DoD and does not want to escalate this but as you can imagine after the intercept story by Kloor pressure is building on him to respond. In my view it is probably best for you to continue this discussion directly with Lue going forward; it is not really my affair, but I did want to give you a head's up as I can see where this may be heading and it seems to me to be preferable to avert a public clash over this if possible. Sincerely, (b)(6) (b)(6) PS: Last week I appeared on GMA, Fox, Inside Edition etc. Below is a sample. I imagine I may be asked to comment publicly on this issue soon myself. If so, obviously I will have no choice but to set the record straight. Lue was clearly continuing to work the UAP issue at a high level right up until the end. Here is where I am coming from on the larger UAP issue if interested: Caution-https://www.foxnews.cotn/science/ -official-ufo-sightings- real
