Secrets aren't inherently illegal, and you can't get around secrecy laws by hinting and alluding to those secrets in a way that threatens their revelation.
Further, it doesn't matter if someone is registered as a whistleblower, if they don't actually blow any whistles. This is a simple concept. It is not a controversial concept. If there was something illegal to expose, Grusch would be able to expose it, wouldn't he? Isn't that the entire point of whistleblower protections?
Which seems more likely: he's prevented from telling what he knows because "reasons"'; or he doesn't have any evidence, nor convincing leads on evidence of anything illegal?
In conclusion, you can save more references to legislation that doesn't apply. Unless, of course, you can point to a law that makes concealing aliens from the public illegal.
PS: I'm certainly not being respectful in this thread, or any others, of opinions based on wishful thinking and motivated reasoning. I don't care if people aren't respectful of my opinions either, as I've made clear before. Challenging core beliefs is challenging the person, as we are an amalgamation of our beliefs, experiences, and relationships, and thus conflict can become uncomfortable.

Clearly you are struggling to understand the concept that whistleblowing in the intelligence community can’t be done in public and has to go through appropriate processes.
Here’s is his formal complaint to the IGIC
https://static1.squarespace.com/stat...ral-Filing.pdf
The person who signed his complaint - Irvin McCullough - is an ex Intelligence Community Inspector General - so not just some random lawyer.
The ICIG subsequently deemed this complaint “credible and urgent”
Grusch has since provided over 11 hours of testimony to the ICIG in closed session
This does not include the recent congress hearing
All of the above are facts. Just because YOU haven’t seen the evidence doesn’t mean that no-one has seen the evidence.
