Police uncover ‘possible plot' by militia to breach Capitol
WASHINGTON (AP) — Capitol Police say they have uncovered intelligence of a "possible plot" by a militia group to breach the U.S. Capitol on Thursday, nearly two months after a mob of supporters of then-President Donald Trump stormed the iconic building to try to stop Congress from certifying now-President Joe Biden’s victory.

The threat appears to be connected to a far-right conspiracy theory, mainly promoted by supporters of QAnon, that Trump will rise again to power on March 4. That was the original presidential inauguration day until 1933, when it was moved to Jan. 20.

Online chatter identified by authorities included discussions among members of the Three Percenters, an anti-government militia group, concerning possible plots against the Capitol on Thursday, according to two law enforcement officials who were not authorized to speak publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. Members of the Three Percenters were among the extremists who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6.

The announcement comes as the Capitol police and other law enforcement agencies are taking heat from Congress in contentious hearings this week on their handling of the Jan. 6 riot. Police were ill-prepared for the mass of Trump supporters in tactical gear, some armed, and it took hours for National Guard reinforcements to come. By then, rioters had broken and smashed their way into the building and roamed the halls for hours, stalling Congress’ certification effort temporarily and sending lawmakers into hiding.

#1 Another false-flag operation. And can you blame them? - the Jan 6th one worked so well.

#3 When will someone finally put this man in charge of the Capital, speech, elections, media, Dr.Seuss books, COV19, National Intelligence Estimates (NIE's), Distance Learning, Global Warming, FEMA, NYC nursing homes, the razor wire shortage, the Soviet threat, Low-T, and end this MADNESS ?

#4 Notable: in the Jan 6 arrests, not a single firearm was seized, and the only firearms used were in the murder of one protester.

Trying to blame the III percenters. The real threats have gone to encrypted communications by now, so this is just sensationalist garbage to continue to generate a false threat for maintaining the whole "crisis to take advantage of" in DC.

#5 They obviously detect a real threat from the anti-tyranny portion of America.

Only tyrants need fear tyrant-killers.

#6 I'm sure the FBI has a militia of some pasty and 4 agents and informants that gave the idea and provided everything.

#9 
Why this?
But nothing about the well planned Anti-Fart/BLOM/SD 5th Column radicals inserted into the Jan.6th Pro-Trump protests. In order to make the Pro-Trump Vote Protesters look like terrorists.

#10 Yesterday I caught the end of a segment of congressional testimony on teevee. An "intelligence community" expert bullshi**ter was asked (heavy paraphrasing here - I could not find the precise video):

Ques: You have stated that you had indications and warnings (I&W) of trouble brewing from certain dissident or anarchist factions traveling to the capital. Why did you not act on that I&W and report your findings at all levels of gov't ?

Intelligence Analyst: "Yes, we observed the events, but could not ascertain intent." (Her response as listed here, pretty much word-for-word.)

Intent? You decide:

(a.) Early Tidal Basin cherry blossom visit ?
(b.) Rolling Thunder bike run advance team ?
(c.) Holocaust Museum tour group ?
(d.) Trump rally shi* disturbers ?

I believe we all know what took place on 6 January and for what purpose.

#11 I'm old enough to remember when it fashionable for the government to fear the people.

I guess with anything leftist, that comes with an expiration.

#14 Some of the intel they have shared is off 4chan and other boards, along with twitter. Most of these people are sitting in mom's basement being trolls. No real actionable intel I have seen and the possibility this is Antifa or government actors to bring a false flag is high, IMHO.

#15 /\ Exactly. "Intent" or motive (the so what ques) is absolutely key. No proper or credible analytical effort can be undertaken WITHOUT the examination of intent. Pretty fok'n basic stuff. Anyone who has ever opened a black book (read classified traffic) is keenly aware of the importance of intent.

#16 IMO a ten mile strip off coastal California up to and including San Francisco should be returned to Mexico. New England should be given to the UK. Hawaii should be returned to territorial status or given the same autonomy as Samoa. The political center of the US government should be located near the center of the US. DC should be given back to Maryland and Virginia.

#19 Just another fake threat to justify keeping troops in and citizens out of the nation's Capitol.
