[ATTW-L] supporting materials for insurrection report

[Dragga, Sam]

In addition to its final report (https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GPO-J6-REPORT/pdf/GPO-J6-REPORT.pdf), the January 6th committee has released supporting materials (including e-mail exchanges, text message exchanges, voice mail messages, letters, and memos) that are genuine real-time examples of technical communication and would likely contribute to lively class discussion.

For example, consider the series of email exchanges that offer cautious edits to proposed fundraising messages making inflammatory claims about the 2020 election:.

Or consider the clarity of the letter dated December 31, 2020 from DC Mayor Muriel Bowser making a “critical request” for the DC National Guard to support operations of the DC Police during anticipated demonstrations on January 5 and 6, 2021: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GPO-J6-DOC-CTRL0000007104/pdf/GPO-J6-DOC-CTRL0000007104.pdf
