Security officials on the lookout for organized violence targeting Electoral College protest

Just The News:

Police and other agencies are monitoring private messaging channels from protesters and counter-protesters, following a warning from Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser that outsiders are headed into town for violent confrontations. Outsiders and residents alike are convening inside the District of Columbia for rallies Wednesday pegged to the Electoral College vote certification.

Local and federal agencies are teaming up “to ensure our residents and businesses remain safe,” Bowser said early in the week.

Federal agents involved in the effort describe monitoring leads both general and specific.

“It’s a highly focused effort to stay ahead of things,” said one federal agent who is involved in tracking down leads. The agent and others would not discuss investigations, but confirmed they have received numerous specific reports, including from Trump administration officials who said that arsonists threatened to burn down their homes.

Intelligence officials said they are aware of a recorded threat that was broadcast on air traffic control frequencies on Monday, threatening to fly an airplane into the Capitol on Wednesday. The digitized voice said that the strike would be in retaliation for the U.S. drone attack that killed Iranian Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani last January. Those officials noted that Iran that does not telegraph attacks in advance, and that the threat is being viewed as a psychological maneuver.

Intelligence analysts are more concerned about a potential lone wolf attack on the homeland – and, in the immediate future, about violence pegged to the Jan. 6 rally. read more

    If they can be monitored, they’re not very private.

    Be careful what you say and where you say it.

    The worst are the RINOs, that have already come forward stating they “Don’t see any evidence of fraud”. They are all in on the take and part of the swamp.

    Susan Collins is one of those rinos. She won’t look at the evidence. That way she can say she doesn’t see evidence of cheating. She’s always hated Trump. She’s a Bushy through and through and is still ticked off Jebby lost to Trump.
