I just listened to the briefing. Luna used the words “in addition to” when speaking about the Burchett and Schumer/Rounds language. Burlison said similar(I had an exact quote, but have since forgot). Gaetz credited Schumer, but also credited Mike Rogers, saying that he was who stepped in when Luna,Moskowitz, and Gaetz were denied info at Elgin AF Base. They specifically said they’re intentions are not to hold up the progress of the amendment’s final draft and that the Schumer/Rounds laguage should be “the floor” of the amendment. In addition to their concerns about the language regarding to 25 year release window(already mentioned on this sub) they are concerned that the current language in general is too complicated and that the committee of 9 people on the review board will be appointed and not voted on, which could result in insider placement of people already involved in the MIC or IC that oppose full disclosure. To me, these are reasonable concerns that I also share, but I agree that scrapping the Schumer/Rounds language to replace it with the Burchett language would be a mistake. With that said, I didn’t get the impression that that was the goal or that Luna, Gaetz, etc. aren’t open to coming to a compromise.
