A genius plan to get every major decision to fall on Linda and the others, yeah because the speech of William was just the surface of everything. He didn't even talk about closing the border, what the government would do next, what the orders would be, or what he actually meant by 'erasing and vanishing them from the earth.'… yeah he did it on purpose even though he said they need to work together he is still a tricky motherfucker and his position to him is worth more than everything, moreover the power that comes with it.
So basically everything was in their speech, in Linda's speech, in Benjamin, Thomas and Stephen… they'll be the scapegoats if anything goes wrong.
And it's not just about the speeches and what's in it but the consequences of the speeches. If after that they can't hold it together and can't do what they promised everything will fall on them.
