Imagine learning that someone you've known for 18 years is alleged to
have been responsible for some of the worst violence on Jan. 6. How do
you square that? Playbook co-author Rachael Bade and journalist Melanie
Warner dive into the story of Jeffrey Sabol, one man whose alleged
activity on Jan. 6 left many in his life confused and grappling for
answers — about how a highly educated, middle-aged man with so much to
lose could participate in what FBI Director Christopher Wray called
“domestic terrorism." What does his story tell us about the Capitol
insurrectionists, and how everyday Americans became the new face of
extremism?
