Capitol Police officials say intel on possible March 4 plot being taken 'seriously'

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.

The National 3 Percenters dissolved - they are now a prepper group. There are soooo many little groups in the states that call themselves three percent, and no one knows what they are or who they are.

Kinda like Monty Python Life of Brian’s Peoples Judean Front.

When National gave up, nearly all of its members dropped their membership.

III% has been here since 1776, and unlike ANTIFA, it really is just an idea.

This is why:

Police bolster security at US Capitol as QAnon theory claims Trump will become president March 4

To be honest, I took a break from all social media for a period of last year and most news outlets. The first I heard of Qanon was when Savannah Guthrie asked Trump about them during the NBC townhall.

The FBI hasn't done CRAP for 5 years. They didn't do CRAP on Jan 6. Why would they do CRAP now?

But they won't arrest the two FBI "informants" with him that woke him up and drove him to the Capitol Thursday morning.

No, March 4 was the old Inauguration Day before the 20th Amendment was passed!

Unfortunately, Donald Trump will not be coming back as President tomorrow (3/4/21). Too bad, so sad!!!!

Real conservatives need to stay away from DC tomorrow. I have a bad feeling it will be a false flag event.
