3. Pivoting off of @evanperez's reporting, @BarbMcQuade and @AshaRangappa_ discuss why the Department of Justice may have chosen to charge seditious conspiracy against the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys, but consider Insurrection (18 USC § 2383) the proper fit for President Trump.

2. Bill Barr:

Three discussions with Trump on 11/23, 12/1, 12/14.

“I made it clear I did not agree with the idea of saying the election was stolen and putting out this stuff, which I told the President it was BULLSH*T.”

Reason for his resignation.

2. "Propaganda often relies upon fear appeals to demonize the 'them' and scare the 'us' into maintaining a warlike footing."

"From cognitive science we learn how these kinds of appeals work against our body’s basic physiology, denying our ability to reason."

Exhibit one:
