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.

SMH at this idiocy!
“the date that far-right conspiracy theorists believe former President Donald Trump will return to power.”
Did these Capitol Police officials obtain their information by reading about King Arthur? Is pres Trump going to come riding out of a cave under the golf course at Mar a Lago, carrying Excalibur? This “information” sounds about as fact-based...
“What’s the frequency, Kenneth?”
“We must confiscate everyone’s guns just to be on the safe side.
Yoganada MUST BE AN IDIOT!
This is another set up.
Antifa will again be impersonating-this time it will be a “right wing” militia.
It’s the same MO as the last capital breach.

It’s Emmanuel.
Yes, they’re serious. And stop calling me Shirley.
what about the murder of Judge Scalia?
or the child rape tapes of Hunter?
or the Antifa Sullivans inciting everyone with CNN on 1/6?
or the Insurance tapes from NY?
or the murderers of Seth Rich?
the ONLY reason they are ignored is that they must lead
back to the FIB.
Either that or they will make it “appear” to have happened.
I’m sorry, the FBI and CIA have lost all credibility.
This has to be made up to keep us divided.
My memo said April 1st, hitler’s brother-in-law’s birthday.
This was breathlessly reported at the top of each hour today on local radio. I think it was a Fox feed.
Possible.. Unknown.. BWAHAAHAAHAA!!
I hear a room at one of Trump’s hotels is going for $1300 on March 4, compared to the $500/night it generally is.
A Qtard and his/her money are soon parted.
They are going to think their “security” scared everyone away.
Bunch of maroons.
Both the CIA and FBI knew the “Dossier” was a complete fabrication, but neither stepped forward to admit it. They have become a fascist two=step bent on ensuring a globalization that will write finis to the Republic.
They need Depends, a lot of them!
‘Glad that DJT’s Secret Service details aren’t organized by the FIBs.
