John, Great to hear from you and I'm super excited to get your input for this piece. I've included the questions in the body of this email below -- any chance you think you'd be able to get these back to me by the end of the day today? I can only imagine how busy you are, so if this is impossible, when do you think I could realistically expect a response (just so I can let my editor know -- I'm on a rather tight deadline). Thanks so much in advance and I look forward to hearing from you! Best, Daniel *Why do you think that the disclosure of UFO related documents is important?* *It seems like a lot of UFO documents would contain sensitive military information – how would you go about getting these released?* *Do you think if Hillary is elected she would make good on her promise to get to the bottom of this UFO business? Why?* *Other than Hillary, are there any other alien-friendly candidates in the running? If not, why do you think this is?* *What makes you think there is information on UFO and extraterrestrials that the government is not sharing with the people? What would the motive be for this?* *If it turned out that there was information being withheld, how do you think people would react to it? Are we ready to hear this? Why/why not?* On Sun, Jan 17, 2016 at 5:43 PM, John Podesta <john.podesta@gmail.com> wrote: > Easiest to shoot me some Q's via email. > > > On Sunday, January 17, 2016, Daniel Oberhaus <dmoberhaus@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Hello Mr. Podesta, >> >> I am writing an article for VICE on the subject of the politics of >> searching for alien life.
