I worked in Dc and NYC on finance and govt. Somehow a pastor is unlikely to be in the loop. Now, if you have a video from Obama appts secretary, a Federal Reserve money, high ranking State Dept officials, CIA analysts, I would be rapt with attention.
There is not much secret info as compared to the past. Viet Nam led people to be less deferential than during WWII. The FYI and Sunshine ACts opened many docs to the public. Establishment newspapers cover major events for the benefit of policymakers and corporate clients worried about instability. I'm not certain how it works but many readers no longer trust the editing policies of mainstream media so they have set up their own websites and report news as citizens.
K Street in DC has the lobbyists and analysts. Info is available for purchase.
Constituents or people interested in a particular area can make appointments to see their Congresspeople or Senators or even staff at White House.
I would pay for someone with the proper credentials - Establishment schools, experience on the Hill or White House, past experience in administration.
Anyone can claim to be well-informed and know super secrets. Anyone old fool or young fool. The proof is in delivering something tangible with your iq.
The steward at the White House prob. knows much more.
