While demanding an answer is the tactic, it is not the objective. This is information warfare on a personal basis. Your objective is to get inside the mind of these craven lackeys. You get into their minds by engaging them in a conversation.

That conversation is crafted to conjure thoughts of doubt and fear. Show them the executive order ask them if they are vulnerable. By asking them a question you short circuit their brain and compel them to think of the executive order and their own personal liability.

Telling them they are liable is easy to refute. They deny the assertions of others all the time. Ask them questions and make them think about their liability and vulnerability.
