   The #washingtonpost was kind enough to provide a copy of the memo ordering the freeze. I attach screen captures here.

   This memo is a masterclass in #LogicalFallacies, especially #equivocation: using vague, undefined terms with ambiguous meaning, leaving it to the mind of the reader to choose the definition that best suits their personal interpretation. It is a classic trick to fool the audience while providing no grounding for your position.
