Disputed Fact
[Disputed Fact — Official government status of participants unconfirmed by independent investigation] Federal employees from multiple agencies attended pre-election training sessions hosted by ShutDown DC addressing “go slow” tactics, workplace obstruction, and resistance planning in the event of a contested election outcome. Identified participants included individuals who identified their agency affiliations during sessions. Whether those self-identifications are accurate and whether the conduct constitutes an organized insider subversion network is disputed; no independent primary-source corroboration of named participants’ government employment status was accessible during research.
