Security Officials Face the Possibility of a Threat from the Inside on Inauguration Day
Time.com ^ | January 14, 2021 | Kimberly Dozier

The deadly siege on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 has prompted U.S. security officials to think the unthinkable as they scramble to secure Washington ahead of next week’s Inauguration: that the enemy is already inside the house.

More than a dozen law enforcement officers and current and former military officials are reported to have taken part in the violent Jan. 6 insurrection that killed a U.S. Capitol Police officer and cost four supporters of President Donald Trump their lives. One Navy and two Air Force veterans are among those being investigated by law enforcement for the attack, as is a junior Army officer by her superiors, while several U.S. Capitol Police officers have been suspended after video showed them appearing to assist some of the rioters who were spurred to action by Trump’s refusal to accept defeat.

Now the FBI is warning of planned armed protests at the Jan. 20 Inauguration in Washington, D.C., and in all 50 state capitals, current senior U.S. officials tell TIME. Current and former security officials say they are concerned that serving U.S. troops or law enforcement officers could pose a clear and present danger to the President- and Vice President-elect and other senior U.S. lawmakers on Inauguration Day. Federal investigators are also trying to track down military and law enforcement members or veterans who took part on Jan. 6, and trace their wider network of associates who may be plotting to turn next week into the mayhem being called for on far-right forums.

But there are too many people to look at, and too little time to do it, says Mitch Silber, former Director of Intelligence Analysis at the New York City Police Department...

The risk from the inside is Camel-a... she is giving Biden a gift of pillows for the White House bedroom. She asked him if he preferred Goose Down or Memory foam pillows. Joe will get the Scalia treatment.

Then again was Mike Lindell seen at the White House?

Yep. The lemmings don’t know that this kind of information, if actually credible, would never be released to the public so the bad guys would know that we know what they’re up to.

Surprised the Trump team hasn’t been put on BOLO to the public as potentially working on the inside to disrupt the inauguration. Who will be allowed to attend? Who will be uninvited?

I have had numerous friends Facebook accounts restricted until 23 January 2021. They are all active or retired military, who all were Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technicians.

This is an overt false flag, id est, red meat tossed to the howling Democrat/Communist base. The blue base needs daily reminders of red terrorist plants
stalking in their midst. Ergo, all Trump supporters, or suspected supporters, are to be turned
into the FBI for processing.

This is the next step in the setup for Joe Biden needs to be inaugurated in the basement. Now, no one can be trusted, even the Chief Justice who will administer the office. Just do it in the basement. People with dementia can’t handle the sensory overload of an inauguration any way. Let’s get on with it so we can start watching the daily soap opera of “Jill vs. Camellia: Who Gets to Tell Joe What to Do?” Should be a hoot. No True Trump supporter would go to the hell hole of DC to spit on Biden; certainly not to harm him. But DC has become the Center of their own Paranoid, Narcissistic Universe. They need an intervention.

Enemies are everywhere. The very mantra of a dictatorship. This is their classic reason for suppressing liberties.

More the half the country hates them knows the election was stolen. I think every “Woke” corporation and government agency have a real problem on their hands. There is no way to weed them out and you will never see the ones with the spirit of 1776 coming.

Ironic given that it was a Capitol officer/security guard that murdered a non-threatening Trump supporter.

What makes you think millions of republicans aren’t reading it?

Come on man we think everyone is like us and that’s ALWAYS been the problem.

95 percent of our side hears or sees msm news and believes it, even if not completely.

The deadly siege on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6...

I dom’t have words for that lie.

And I feel like a B.tch but I’m getting depressed and somewhat resigned over all this.

I see no leaders stepping forward, inside or outside of DC.

I see my country slipping into madness.

No pushback against a successful coup.

Sorry for whining and I will be there when the battle begins, IF it does. That’s what depresses me.

No one seems to want to fight back.

Someone needs to give a Hoo Rah speech in a Vanity thread.

I would feel less helpless fighting back, even if it meant losing everything.

Now i’ll go get some cheese to go with my whine...

forgive me guys

Sounds a bit like the Estrogen Purge in Turkey a few years back.

Much adieu about nothing. Bull shit from the cowardly democRATS, who are doing this to explain the public’s lack of interest in a phony inauguration of a stolen presidency.

"They are all active or retired military, who all were Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technicians."

Wow, they really are scared and just don't get who the Patriots are. As if former EOD techs would resort to blowing stuff up. Yes, I know there are former Military who have done bad - think Ft. Hood and he was active duty. Think Timothy Mcveigh/Terry Nichols and a couple others - bad apples in every barrel.

The above said if any such incident occurred, I'd look at the BLM/Antifa/anarchists first as more info comes out it the Capitol riot was a false flag operation by those scum.

Hang on. It is depressing, but you have to realize while so many saw the election stolen, they still, like far too many FRpeers, think there still will be fair elections next time. We will have to wait until they see the light.

If its any consolation, this country slipped into madness 45 years ago. People are just now noticing it because it now effects everyone, not just one or more isolated groups in a distant part of the country where the techniques you see were pioneered and brought to the front.

Yea best to just send the military and LEOs home. Antifa and BLM will cover security.
