3. IC IG Thomas Monheim deemed David Grusch's testimony "credible and urgent". David Grusch not only testified to them for 11 hours, but referred many first hand witnesses to the ICIG. This is why the House Oversight Committee requested this briefing.

4. Let's begin with the full footage of each of the members who discussed the briefing after the classified briefing. Clips thanks to @JCliff_Scoops.

5. Rep Anna Paulina Luna
Statements made by @realannapaulina were equally important. She mentioned to focus on the Inter-dimensional possibility of origin mentioned by Grusch.
The briefing reinforced her take that Grusch is a credible witness.

6. Rep Robert Garcia
@RobertGarcia looked visibly shaken by the briefing.
"It's reasonable to say that everyone that was in the room received, probably, new information. I certainly did...It is not a fringe topic, it is a serious national security topic.

11. Next let's take a look at the posts made by various Representatives on X after the briefing.
Again let's start with @JaredEMoskowitz who stated that based on the briefing, many of David Grusch's claims have merit.'

12. Rep Luna- Field Hearings coming
Apparently enough evidence was shared in the SCIF to give them confidence in pursuing field hearings at specific locations.

15. Rep Tim Burchett told @ufouapam that 16 members were there at one point. It was very cordial and bipartisan.
Everyone left knowing that David Grusch was legit.

16. After the post SCIF briefing media questions, journalist @ask_a_pol, who has been covering the UFO topic on Capital Hill diligently over the last year or so, met up with lawmakers in order to get some more information about the briefing and what to expect going further.
17. @RepEricBurlison: Locations
“There’s certain locations that [the ICIG] provided that we could certainly look into. That’s what I’m looking forward to.”
“It appears… that it’s not going to be easy to get access.”

18. @JaredEMoskowitz:
“This was more directional, right? On where we need to focus and what the next steps are. Where we need to ask for information. Places actually to maybe go”
Lawmakers are now demanding more info and cooperation from DOD officials/AARO

19. More from @JaredEMoskowitz to @ask_a_pol :
"You should see that room. It's wild how nonpartisan this really is. This is about Congress versus the executive and government oversight and secrecy and transparency. This was the most fascinating meeting I've sat in.”

20. Who should be called in for Hearings?
@RepNancyMace: “Private contracts too! I think that the private contractors should be on that witness list. I won't name names, but we have a better sense of who that might be today”

21. More from @RepNancyMace to @ask_a_pol:
“This had more utility. A better conversation,” Mace said. “And I would say David Grusch determined to be credible on some of the things that we discussed today.”

22. @realannapaulina: “We are going to continue to move forward, track down and do what we need to do, but if I'm at the point where I know that our witness is good (Grusch), I'm going to then work with him directly."

23. @RepTimBurchett: “Someone would ask a question, but then someone, they would give a very unanswer-answer. Then somebody else would ask it more specific, and then they would give a better answer. And I’m tired of that stuff, just give us the answer.”

24. @RepGrothman: “I have a feeling the next one we have will be private again, but we’re not done,” Grothman says. “Well, there’s stuff he didn’t have It’s very frustrating.”
“I think they’ll go anywhere I want to go(as chairman of subcommittee)..."

26. @RepMikeTurner : Would not comment other then to say "I don't do ambush interviews." Which must be a new policy once UAPs began a topic of interest, as @MattLaslo used to ask him questions previously.

34. It is not clear if the Inspector General Thomas Monheim himself attended the briefing. @ask_a_pol did not see him. Although @ask_a_pol did take a picture of some ICIG officials(presumably). These may be members of his office.

35. A nice summary of the ICIG briefing by the brilliant @lesternare written here:

37. The classified briefing, besides bolstering David Grusch's credibility and providing merit to many of his claims, key locations were identified for pursuit of crash retrievals. @TheUfoJoe has been advocating for this important measure a long time.

38. In summary, the Classified UFO Briefing to members of the House Oversight Committee was a historic. It solidified Grusch's credibilty and Congress's thirst for more answers. As more information comes out, I will add it to this thread. Hope you enjoyed!
