The Army is working to determine which National Guard troops assisting the Jan. 20 presidential inauguration require additional security checks, and is also offering more training on threat detection for those Guardsmen arriving to Washington, D.C., in the coming days, according to the service.

The measures come in the wake of the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol riot and after Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo., spoke with Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy this weekend and expressed “grave concerns about reports that active-duty and reserve military members were involved in the insurrection” at the Capitol.

Crow, an Iraq and Afghanistan veteran, said he asked McCarthy for Army Criminal Investigation Command to review the backgrounds of any troops involved in inauguration security, “to ensure that deployed members are not sympathetic to domestic terrorists.”

Surely they are referring to the first D.C. riots which lasted about 10 days longer, more people were killed, was carried out not be protestors but rather thugs, was FAR, FAR, FAR more costly, and military was rejected by the mayor.  I'm totally flummoxed by not having the military for this protest whose gripes are centered on the congress and not some imaginary injustice.  Protestors with a beef about congress are not going to go to Georgetown, to get their complaints aired, they head to the capitol and everyone knew it was going to happen.  It seems as if the mayor and probably Nazi Pelosi, teamed up to suck some right wing lunatics (aided by BLM and antifa thugs sprinkled in to get the fuses lit) to act on their fantasies and have the media waiting indoors for them.
