There is the fact that Grusch gave sworn testimony to congress on it, he's going to prison for perjury if he's lying. Doesn't prove it, but it's more than just saying it in an interview.

There are cases where they could inadvertently perhaps collect, but not wittingly." So, do people lie to Congress all the time? Not wittingly, but in the sense that this phrase means "absolutely yes, all the damn time."

- troyvit 3y agoMan I don't think he's mentally ill now, but before this is done I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes so. Can't imagine that guy's life right now.
