UAP whistleblower David Grusch, along with his lawyer Charles McCullough—who served as the original Intelligence Community Inspector General—will be featured on BBC’s “The World Tonight”. The program is scheduled to air in less than an hour, at 5:00 PM Eastern Time.


Edit: Here is the interview for those that missed it.

    No, Charles McCullough is a senior partner at Compass Rose Legal Group. This law firm is not affiliated with the government and they primarily focus on security clearance, federal employment, and national security matters.

    Edit: I apologize for misinterpreting your question. I believe that David Grusch independently sought out legal counsel prior to filing his whistleblower complaint.

        Yes, I remember this article. It’s somewhat misleading. I’ll try to find the podcast where Ross Coulthart discusses this, and I’ll come back and edit my post later. Essentially, the Compass Rose Legal Group completed their task of representing him through the whistleblower complaint, which is why the relationship was no longer necessary. However, what the article omits is that Charles McCullough, who is a senior partner within the Compass Rose Legal Group and the one who represented him during the whistleblower complaint process with the Inspector General, is still his legal representative.

            I’m unsure of the reasoning apart from what’s been stated and don’t want to speculate too much, but that could be a possibility, sure.

              I’ll speculate. They probably don’t want blowback on the law firm for representing kooky uap guy.

                But they already represented him so that ship has sailed. I’d also argue ‘kooky’ would be an inappropriate descriptor for David Grusch, given his background and the people speaking on his behalf.

                    Possibly. I’m honestly genuinely curious how much of the general public is aware of what’s going on outside of “There was a public UAP hearing.”

                They would just stop representing him. They could do so at any time.

                This guy left a “height of his career” job to go out on his own to represent Grusch. I don’t think you do that to protect the law firm.
