DC Fencing to Be Removed After Capitol Police Admit No 'Credible Threat'

That uninviting outer fencing around the U.S. Capitol will reportedly come down in the coming days after it’s made a mockery of the principles this country was founded upon for more than two months.

Acting House Sergeant-at-Arms Timothy Blodgett issued a memo on Friday announcing that the Capitol architect and the U.S. Capitol Police together “will remove the outer perimeter fencing around the Capitol complex sooner than initially anticipated.”

CNN reported that the move could come as early as this weekend, said Blodgett. The man told lawmakers that “there does not exist a known, credible threat against Congress or the Capitol Complex that warrants the temporary security fencing.”

The exercise in political theatrics was anticipated to last until the fall of this year. Without a boogeyman, apparently people who aren’t covetous of power made the decision to end the charade.

Agreed. President Hillary would inspire millions of Patriots to march to Washington, D.C. peacefully. She would have no choice but to resign.

Yes, the ‘threat’ is ‘known’. That would be Pelosi et al.

But the libs think we will take this lip service as gospel.

Psst. Now is the time to make our move boys. Let’s wait until the wall comes down and they think there is no credible threat. They’ll never know what hit them. (Pure Sarcasm)

“there does not exist a known, credible threat against Congress or the Capitol Complex that warrants the temporary security fencing.”

Nonsense. Battalions of white supremacists are marching across Virginia toward D.C. at this very minute, under the command of Donald J. Trump. They occasionally pause to murder Asian-Americans.

Wait for the signal first. When Trump has two scoops of vanilla ice cream with his pie, then we move.

Diary of the Capitol Siege

Day 54

Have you ever tried to use a bathroom after Jerry Nadler has used it? Imagine that a skunk sprayed three tons of rotten fish. That doesn’t even come close. I have seen grown men cry at the thought of having to go into a bathroom after Jerry. And paper towels! My hands will chaff! AOC was doing an interpretive dance of our plight, but she threw out her back portraying us running from people who aren’t there.

And there were more. Hundreds more.

We are going up there to bury my father-in-law on July 19 in Arlington.
I'm dreading it.

Condolences, on your dear FIL’s passing.

Out of honor for him, I hope you can enjoy the trip and our nation’s historical surroundings.
