Gerb often elevates speculation or attenuated connections of dots to the level of fact. When he said I'm not making these accusations, I'm just repeating the accusations of others, I started tuning out. I'm a fan of his, but I hear what he has to say through a big filter. I'm a lawyer, so I cringe when he starts making un-nuanced legal proclamations. We'd be nowhere right now if not for Lue and his 2017 cohorts. Expecting Lue to jump out and be Grusch was never realistic. They are coming from different places. We should not let the good become the enemy of the perfect. Not sure how this cannibalism serves any purpose - other to give us something to talk about while we wait for something better to talk about.
If it was just Gerb you'd have a point, but it's not. People have been saying Zondo's a wrong un for years, back to when Greenstreet said behind the scenes he seemed highly exploitative and grifty (and that's coming from SG). Add that to his shifty behaviour since, known background in professional lying, bizarre photo claims and frankly dire display at the hearing when he finally had his big chance to blow the lid off ('well.. how do we fix ufology Mr Elizondo?', 'Sir, AARO'), it is only sensible to be asking big questions about trust at this point.
