shut things down or turn things up for them; they would be
head to head with the hacker nerding out on a computer a
few seats away. Should be scary if you are really thinking
about it!
The Federal Bureau of Investigation on Monday told VOA it is examining evidence suggesting groups or individuals may be looking to incite violence or engage in criminal activity in connection with the planned transfer of power.
The FBI has “received information about an identified armed group intending totravel to Washington, D.C., on 16 January,” as their bulletin said.
“They have warned
that if Congress attempts to removePOTUS via the 25th Amendment a huge
uprising will occur.”
While not commenting on the specific
threats, other government
agencies are taking steps
to bolster security.
The Department of
Homeland Security (DHS)
announced Monday it is
directing the U.S. Secret
Service, normally tasked
with presidential security,
to start its inauguration
security operation this
Wednesday, six days
earlier than planned.
DHS cited “events of
the past week and
the evolving security
landscape,” as the reason
for the change.
The U.S. National Park
Service also announced
Monday it will close the
Washington Monument
from January 11 until after
the inauguration, citing
threats of violence.
Emergency declaration
In addition, the White
House late Monday
announced Trump
approved an emergency
declaration for
Washington, lasting until
January 24, four days
after the inauguration.
The move clears the way
for key federal agencies,
including DHS and the
Federal Emergency
Management Agency
(FEMA) to coordinate
and mobilize emergency
assistance should it be
needed. But there is
also some concern the
heightened security may
be needed beyond the
inauguration.
“The State of the Union
[presidential address to
Congress] is just around
the corner,” Terry Gainer,
a former chief for the
Capitol Police who also
served as the Senate
Sergeant-at-arms, told a
webinar Monday.
“The Right to Life March
will happen [January
29],” Gainer added. “The
ongoing discussions with
the impeachment – all
sorts of things that would
attract wrongdoers to
come there, as well as
protesters who should
legitimately protest and
have a right to do it.”
In contrast to the latest
warnings and increased
precautions, both the
FBI and the Washington
Metropolitan Police
have said there was no
intelligence before last
Wednesday’s planned
protests to suggest
portions of the crowd
could become violent.
