Lawyers Part Ways with UFO Whistleblower, Say They Focused Only on HR Issues

The lawyers representing alleged UFO "whistleblower" David Grusch abruptly parted ways with him yesterday, saying their representation of him had concluded. In a statement, two attorneys from Compass Rose claimed that they represented him only in regard to his complaint to the Intelligence Community Inspector General that he had been retaliated against for attempting to expose information withheld from Congress. The lawyers specifically refused to endorse Grusch's claims about space aliens and asked that the media "correct" misinformation about their involvement with his extraterrestrial claims. 

Recent media articles misstate the scope of the firm’s representation, and include material misstatements of fact pertaining to our representation, which we have requested be corrected.

The whistleblower disclosure did not speak to the specifics of the alleged classified information that Mr. Grusch has now publicly characterized, and the substance of that information has always been outside of the scope of Compass Rose’s representation. Compass Rose took no position and takes no position on the contents of the withheld information. 

Compass Rose said that the IG found that Grusch's claim that some information had illegally been withheld from Congress was credible. This, of course, does not suggest that such information was about dead aliens.
