Earlier today, Ryan Graves took to X/Twitter to congratulate career Congressional staffer Kirk McConnell for joining ASA as an advisor.

Thanks to Joe Murgia on X/Twitter for highlighting this tweet from Aug 2023 from Mike Colangelo.

In Steven Greenstreet’s interview with Brandon Fugal that outed Sean Kirkpatrick as a liar when he stated that he wasn’t there, Fugal points out that it was a staffer of John McCain who invited him to the meeting, and McConnell is mentioned in the video.

Looks like in the now-famous pic above from the meeting, that’s McConnell sitting at the head of the table between Kirkpatrick and Fugal.

Back around the same time that year (or perhaps the same meeting), McConnell invited Kevin Day to speak to his group about the Tic-Tac incident.

Also want to point out that it was McCain who helped John Burroughs finally receive help decades after his encounter at Rendleshem Forest, and it’s been noted that McCain had a strong interest in this subject, so McConnell’s insider knowledge makes absolute sense.
