> Q: Why was the EO put on ice?
What EO?
We don't know what content was/is in the EO to which Q is referring.
"On ice" could mean several things. Stored for future use. Hidden. Signed or unsigned? In force but not yet public. Not yet in force but its existence and potential is a threat.
I don't get where a bunch of anons jumped to a conclusion about what is in the EO. Explain, or backtrack and consider further.
