U.S. Capitol Police officials said Wednesday they have "obtained intelligence that shows a possible plot to breach the Capitol by an identified militia group on Thursday, March 4" -- the date that far-right conspiracy theorists believe former President Donald Trump will return to power.
The intelligence, which an FBI bulletin said could involve the "Three Percenters" group, which prosecutors call extremist, is being taken "seriously," the Capitol Police officials said in a statement posted on Twitter.
"Our Department is working with our local, state, and federal partners to stop any threats to the Capitol. We are taking the intelligence seriously. Due to the sensitive nature of this information, we cannot provide additional details at this time," the statement said.
The Capitol complex remains surrounded with temporary fencing topped with razor wire and some 5,000 National Guard troops remain on site.

Acting Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman told House lawmakers Wednesday that security around the Capitol complex has been "enhanced" given new concerns about threats to lawmakers and the physical complex over the next few days.
"We are prepared to respond appropriately," Pittman said, but she declined to get into specifics about the threats, saying she would brief lawmakers in private later in the day.
An internal U.S. Capitol Police bulletin distributed Tuesday contains information about a possible militia plot to storm the Capitol on or around March 4, sources told ABC News.
The information in the bulletin is sourced to an FBI intelligence report from late February that describes the an alleged plot by the "Three Percenters militia group to use diversionary tactics such as detonating a bomb" to draw law enforcement away from the Capitol prior to an attempt by the group to take over the U.S. Capitol, according to a law enforcement source.

DOH!!! TWO months ago. nearly.
BS alert
FAKE NEWS.. Complete lie!!!
Another Reichstag Fire in the works by Nancy and the Capitol police?
"Three Percenters" are named after the small group of patriots that passionately supported the revolution against the British crown. Many others were in for their own reasons and most colonialists just wanted to avoid problems. While a loose association may exist between these two groups, I am unaware of any coordinated planning between the two.
Experienced activists understand that small dedicated groups acting alone will only be picked off and crushed by the autocracy. There is no evidence of joint planning between these two groups - or any other splinter groups at the present.
This is logically impossible. First, there is NO Qanon; there is Q and a flock of anons that dissect and decipher Q's posts and generate their own theories, some of them gratifying fantasies.
Second, I doubt Q ever posted that Trump will re-obtain the WH on March 4. Again, I suspect some bright ambitious anon cyphered this out of some other anon's Q-speculation. Q's drops are posted on the web in numerous places - available to any 'journalist' or investigator truly in search of the truth.
This just smacks of official malarkey designed to justify some questionable policy decision-making - like keeping citizens away from their own government buildings and representatives for an extended period of time with a tall razor wire fence and military troops.
You left out all of the funny stuff about QAnon in the article. ;D
the FBI is planning ANOTHER attack ?
Building the narrative for their false flag pathetic staged event
