Rational Security 2.0: The Dork at 4pm Edition
This week on Rational Security 2.0, Alan, Quinta, and Scott were reunited after a few weeks apart to talk through the week's big national security news, including:
- \u201cIn the Land of the Blind, the One-Eyed Man is Still Guilty of Seditious Conspiracy.\u201d The jury in the Oath Keepers trial came back last week, convicting every defendant of at least one criminal offense\u2014including the controversial charge of seditious conspiracy. What might this mean for other Jan. 6 investigations moving forward?
- \u201cMorality? Puh-leeze.\u201d Weeks of protests in Iran finally seemed to bear fruit last week when a regime official signaled that the morality police may be disbanded and laws requiring that women wear hijabs be repealed. But other regime figures don\u2019t seem on-board with that solution. Is this a sign that protests are succeeding? Where might they go from here?
- \u201cLes Fleurs du MAL.\u201d The litigation that led Judge Aileen Cannon to appoint a special master to review evidence collected by the FBI from former President Trump\u2019s Mar-a-Lago estate this past summer has finally culminated in its final form: an 11th Circuit ruling reversing Judge Cannon\u2019s order and disbanding the process altogether. Where will the investigation go from here?
