[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How did Marks know about Bradley’s brother and Jan 6?[/quote]

That's what I was wondering, too - how did he know?

Why was Laura SO angry about the J6 thing? That felt... disproportionate? [/quote]

And how did she know what Bradley did?   Journalists are not mandated reporters. She was not required to tell them her brother was there. (Turning over video to the FBI is a separate matter- but there’s no requirement that she turn over her video unless the FBI took her to court.)[/quote]

I am the PP - and I think Laura read between the lines when she saw the emails between Bradley and Cory. But I really don't know what she'd expect Bradley to do in that situation, as a normal human being who loves her family. It's not like Bradley showed every second of footage from the Capital - and, like you say, journalists are not mandatory reporters.

I also really don't know how Jon Hamm found out about all this unless he's monitoring which emails are being looked at from the hack. And even then? [/quote]

I didn't find Laura's anger out of character or surprising. She's angry that Bradley helped one of the J6 people -- she considers them terrorists and I don't think she thinks there are any shades of gray there. The fact that it's Bradley's brother isn't really relevant to her. Laura thinks you get to choose your family and if someone doesn't fit your political or social outlook, they can be excised. Remember she encouraged Bradley to simply cut Hal out of her life over his substance abuse and mental health issues. She just doesn't see family the way Bradley does.

I also think the bigger issue for Laura is the feeling of betrayal. Not just that Bradley concealed this from her, but that she confided in and got help from Cory. It makes Bradley close to Cory, and to Hal, in ways she can't be to Laura because Laura is in the dark. I think a lot of the rage reaction stemmed from that feeling of being put on the outside. Remember her snooping around was prompted by suspicions about Bradley and Cory in the first place. Laura wants to be THE central figure in Bradley's life. It's about control and access as much as it's about politics for her.[/quote]
