Do they run off if you ask questions more than a few syllables in length? Like, after you’d thanked him for telling you how big space is, if you’d then said:
“Senator, why has the chair of your committee (Gillibrand) sponsored an amendment to legislation that requires the Department of Defense and its contractors supply Congress with a <quote> comprehensive list of all non-earth origin or exotic unidentified anomalous phenomena material <end quote> ?”
...Would he already be into the elevator by the time you’d finished asking the question?
Not so dissimilar to when you had to bite your lip when interviewing coke-addled narcissist rock stars then..
Couple of questions, if i may - How do other journalists react to you chasing this topic? Are they sneering or resentful? ..Or kind of glad that someone’s asking so long as it ain’t them?
The best part is when he says he's unaware of the SAPs that are being hidden from him lol
Right? 😂
Anyway, thank you for your service.
May the fourth estate be with you.
😊

Long game. Like, seriously, have you heard what these lawmakers--Rubio, Gillibrand, Comer, Warner, Himes...etc etc etc--have told me!?!
That's me on this beat like 2 weeks.
As a veteran congressional reporter, I play comms director: If a vote is winding down, MY ONLY JOB BECOMES MAKING SURE THEY DON'T MISS THAT VOTE.
Otherwise, they never talk to us again.
