How UFO programs dodge oversight: content-only and 'non-covert' White House SAPs (UAP Gerb, Vol. 2)

UAP Gerb video, Vol. 2 (June 2026, 3h22m), mapping the modern SAP secrecy layer. Built on Grusch's Judicial Watch interview, his centerpiece claim is that a White House special access program designated 'non-covert action' falls between the covert-action statute (50 USC 3093) and the DoD SAP statute (10 USC 119), so neither reporting rule applies, and a 'content-only' SAP designation (information only, no budget line) removes the money trail too.
