Episode notes
Seditious Six As Strategic Publicity
- Adam and John argue the Schumer-led publicity around the "Seditious Six" felt like calculated softening for future legal or political action.
- They connect the messaging to larger impeachment or military-order narratives, not just a stray media episode.
Video Likely Prepares Public For Future Moves
- Adam and John debate whether the Dems' video targeted drug-boat operations and could be used later to justify impeachment or prosecution.
- They see the episode as part of longer game-playing, not a discrete news item.
Tokyo Rose Statute Could Be Weaponized
- Rob the constitutional lawyer flagged the rarely-cited anti-Tokyo-Rose statute as a possible legal angle against civilians who urge troops to disobey orders.
- Adam and John note nobody in mainstream coverage pursued the Tokyo Rose route, likely because it would be politically explosive.
