A quick civics lesson for those who missed it: The Constitution explicitly protects members of Congress from being arrested for doing their jobs - legislating and explaining their legislation. It's in Article I. The Speech or Debate Clause. So, naturally, I sent out pocket Constitutions, free of charge. Some...

"Nobody from Congress has asked me to follow up on that." ~Mellon Whistleblowers, Fear and Mellon Calls Out Congress (This is all you know to need to know about why we're stuck in the mud with Disclosure. As I said yesterday, Congress is dragging ass. And, as I (and others) have repeatedly stated: We need protection for whistleblowers.) Kurt McConnell - Former Senate Intelligence Committee Staffer: "The key to this, in my opinion, is firsthand sources who can testify to direct involvement in the so-called Legacy program of crash retrievals, reverse engineering. Unfortunately, there are people out there, I believe, from many reports, that are interested in coming forward and telling their story, but they are very much intimidated and frightened about doing that. They're afraid of the consequences, including their own personal safety, is what they relate. Their personal safety, certainly their career, starting with their security clearances, which is the means that they have to make a living. And they have observed some folks who have come forward - not to mention you, Lue, and Dave Grusch - and have seen what those folks have gone through, and most of them say, 'Yeah, I'm not doing that.' "So, I think we're sort of in a tough situation. It's almost like Catch 22. We need more primary sources. But it's hard to get people with that kind of information to come forward because of the fear of retaliation." Rep. Tim Burchett Press Office: "We need a better whistleblower protection." McConnell: "Sir, that's something that I'm sure, as you know, has been discussed in both the Senate and the House." Burchett: "Why don't you draw me something up, really tight." McConnell: "Yes, sir. So, whistleblower protections and finding ways to even compensate them if they do have negative consequences from coming forward, and so forth. So, I certainly think this is a major factor." Christopher K. Mellon: "I came prepared to contribute what I could to that question as well but the classified session was canceled, I think, due to the sensitivity of the names of the individuals and so forth. I didn't think it was appropriate to (hard to make out his words here) to do it in an unclassified setting. If they do reschedule the classified setting, I think I'm more than happy to try to provide some very specifics. "I published a Signal message I received from a very senior government official. He described a specific Secretary-of-the-Air-Force memorandum. He described a specific recovery site. He named the Air Force gatekeeper for the program. Nobody from Congress has asked me to follow up on that. I have all that information. I was prepared to share what I could about that but I don't that it would be definitive or lead to any conclusion. But I do think those names, due to the privacy concerns of the individuals and so forth, obviously that's pretty sensitive, so..." Read the Signal message here:
