Both identify the same unconstitutional secrecy apparatus.
- → Podesta (Clinton/UFO) (assessment): Both Democratic-aligned disclosure advocates. Sheehan = legal (NPI, Carter admin). Podesta = political (Clinton chief of staff, 2016 campaign). Both have decades-long UAP involvement. Legal + political = complementary.
- → Grusch Full Testimony (assessment): Sheehan's NPI advocates for disclosure of what Grusch testified about. Sheehan (legal) + Grusch (whistleblower) = legal infrastructure for whistleblower protection. NPI mission = 'non-human intelligence held secret.'
