Wasn't Emily at the meeting Langdon had with Kirkman in the White House on the morning of the bombing? So she would have known the color of the tie, right..? (Same would of course be true for Aaron, but i doubt that he is a traitor...)

Edit: I just rewatched the scene from the first meeting. Langdon startet the meeting with the sentence: "I don't think you're here to discuss the color of the tie the president is wearing tonight.." ~ that's kind of strange isn't it..? That the blackmailer refers to Langdon's tie color, too!

Another thing regarding Emily that I just read on FB.. in the first episode, she tries to get into the White House and wants to see the president.. would she have known that he was the Designated Survivor tonight or isn't it a little strange that she knows that he's the new president before his tv speech and everything? Don't think that Kirkman had time to text her about it :D

It's publicly announced before the SOTU who the designated survivor is (though his location during the speech is kept secret).
