Right-wing extremist militias have been a threat for years, and we've known that military members participate-so, why has the FBI suddenly decided to properly vet troops days before the inauguration?
I cannot get a satisfactory answer as to why all of the video that has come out of the capitol building has been civilian. Are there not security cameras in there? Why is the FBI seemingly relying on footage from reporters etc?
It is possible that the information the FBI has about plans for disrupting the inauguration is so disturbing that the public might, quite literally, panic. I suspect that it is keeping what it knows to itself to prevent the groups and individuals planning disruption from knowing how much the FBI knows about them.
I am anxious about tomorrow, very anxious. I know this is what Trump wants, to keep his opponents off balance and torture them with expectations of horrible things to come. If he pardons violent white nationalists and militia types, it would not surprise me; he wants to leave Biden with a going-away present that cannot be removed easily.
I hope that the assault on the Capitol is the last gasp of white supremacy but I fear it's actually the first salvo of the denouement and that the long slide down the end will take years.
The bigger question is why did they not act on the intel before it happened? It wasn’t hard to see, it didn’t take a master intelligence officer, the terrorists announced it. They sold merchandise for chrissakes! Either they’re monumentally incompetent or (more likely) they knew and didn’t care.
Here's yet another concern that I have: Law enforcement is closing in all of the people who were too stupid to not be caught. What about the smarter ones? THAT'S what keeps me up at night.
This is far from over. All the videos, I have seen, are unnerving and frightening. The whole government is compromised and I have a sick feeling DT will still incite violence, because now he wants revenge. It's possible that nothing will happen until all the Guardsmen are gone, with what was caught on video, something is definitely coming. I am not ashamed to say this: I am scared.

Same.
