Documents / FOIA release
This Office of the Secretary of Defense FOIA release (24-F-0250) centers on a January 8, 2024 AARO memorandum for record. The memo describes the office's repeated attempts through 2023 to interview David Grusch for its Historical Record Report. It concludes that Grusch had no intention of giving AARO information about his claims. The release also includes text messages with Chris Mellon and congressional staff, email exchanges with Grusch, and DoD SAPCO and ODNI CAPCO memos stating that AARO may receive classified and NDA-protected UAP information.

It is all there and fully documented to include confirmation the program is real from active, Cleared insiders. DOJ has to release it since it's part of a criminal investigation They haven't yet He needs to come tell us separate from his criminal complaint , (0 He obviously doesn't have to do so and he even said "How do I know Sean is not a target of the ongoing criminal investigation" (I) However, that being said, I explained your request regarding having his attorney contact OGC and suggested he do so to slum full cooperation. He said that if you can provide OGC's contact info he'll pass it to his attorney. Btw, he also said his claim about contacting you dates to a conversation the two of you had many months ago on a 'Tandberg* (sp?) system and that you didn't follow up after that call. I'm not trying to adjudicate that issue just telling you what he said. Apparently that is what his statement was referring to. So, if you can provide an OGC email or phone number I'll get that to Dave right away and hopefully his attorney will promptly contact OGC. All of that is both absurd and false. I have had a conversation with him for years. If he wants this brought out and investigated, then yes he obviously does have to. His continued refusal to speak with us only hurts his case. I've contacted Congressional OGC to reach out to him. So they can explain the law. Haven't had a conversation for years Our statement will simply be that he's refused to speak with AARO , OK, sounds good. Happy to help when I can. Don't hesitate to kick my tires if I'm off base on something Btw, there isn't a Congressional OGC as such. There are congressional lawyers that get law 13 ,7 ,AmeD To be clear, whom should Dave expect to hear from if you cannot provide a POC at DoD? Vet lemi 19,7 A ,„ 0
