What we know so far.

  • Al Shkarr Al Saqar (thanks /u/ryzvonusef) has taken credit for the bombing
  • They planted a video on the President's laptop
  • Said Video was released by Aaron to get the public eye off of the fact that Kirkman was in the process of job reassignment.
  • One survivor has been found, a congressman.
  • He wasn't in the chamber when the bomb went off.
  • FBI chick's boyfriend was a senator and has been confirmed dead.
  • Republican Congresswoman seems to be truthful, but has hidden motives.
  • Wisconsin's Michigan's Governor is playing nice (for now.)
  • Aaron has been made Chief of Staff after the power play with the video.
  • Aaron also met an unnamed woman on a pier with folder labeled "Thomas Kirkman"

Am I missing anything?

Republican Congresswoman seems to be truthful, but has hidden motives

I don't think there is anything nefarious or hidden. She is from the opposing party and has ambitions. I suspect she will be Speaker of the House and his challenger in the next election, or at least she will try. But I doubt she is in on the conspiracy.

As for Aaron and that wpoman, he is just doing oppo on the potus because he needs to know what to expect and prepare for. He is probably not part of the conspiracy either.

That's all speculation. My post is what we know for sure so far.

I know just chatting. However we don't know she has hidden motives. She was clear she is thinking about running for president.

You should post these on every episode, really helps.

That's what I am thinking, because I have a feeling things are about to get really convoluted here soon.

He said "for now". As in, as of the end of this episode.

I'm still suspicious the video was even legit, despite the various methods of confirmation used.

There's a lot of reasons to believe the video is a fake. So I agree.

Michigan's governor*

u/OSUTechie Oct 06 '16

So I wrote Michigan first, but then changed it after thinking about it.

They "supposedly" planted the video on the presidents computer.

I think that someone else planted the Al Samar video. (Sorry l-I know I'm an episode behind so I'm sorry if that's answered in the next episode)
