House Democrats Invite Epstein Survivors to State of the Union

This is a pure information operation with zero constitutional damage. Inviting guests to SOTU is routine congressional privilege with no policy, legal, or institutional impact. The event scores 0 across all A-drivers: no election interference, no rule of law violation, no separation of powers issue, no civil rights impact, no institutional capture, no corruption, no violence. The mechanism is explicitly labeled information_operation but produces no actual constitutional harm—just symbolic theater. B-score is high: Layer 1 scores 26/40 (outrage around Epstein scandal, highly memeable visual of pins, novel guest strategy, extremely media-friendly during major speech). Layer 2 scores 30/40 (major mismatch between symbolic gesture and actual accountability, perfect timing hijacking SOTU news cycle, narrative pivot from policy to scandal, pattern matches political theater). Intentionality is 13/15 (coordinated caucus, designed symbols, strategic event timing, explicit pressure goal, optimized optics). Final B-score: 0.55(26) + 0.58(30) = 31.7. D-score: 0 - 31.7 = -31.7. Clear List B classification.
