> That they were “instructed” could mean either “by the black hats” (e.g., perform tasks as instructed) or they are not in the top half which will be questioned by Lindsay’s group so they will be/have been “instructed” re the coming days (not to talk to press etc.) instead. Those are my guesses
I tend to agree. I think the ‘lower half’ did what they were told and there will be a successive waterfall of people narcing on their superiors, which eventually brings it to the top.
