FBI vetting National Guard troops in DC amid fears of insider attack
Fox 10 Phoenix, Jan 17, 2021. 10:26 PM ET
WASHINGTON - U.S. defense officials say they are worried about an insider attack or other threat from service members involved in securing President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration, prompting the FBI to vet all of the 25,000 National Guard troops coming into Washington for the event.
The massive undertaking reflects the extraordinary security concerns that have gripped Washington following the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol by pro-Trump rioters. And it underscores fears that some of the very people assigned to protect the city over the next several days could present a threat to the incoming president and other VIPs in attendance.
Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy told The Associated Press on Sunday that officials are conscious of the potential threat, and he warned commanders to be on the lookout for any problems within their ranks as the inauguration approaches. So far, however, he and other leaders say they have seen no evidence of any threats, and officials said the vetting hadn’t flagged any issues.
"We’re continually going through the process, and taking second, third looks at every one of the individuals assigned to this operation," McCarthy said in an interview after he and other military leaders went through an exhaustive, three-hour security drill in preparation for Wednesday’s inauguration. He said Guard members are also getting training on how to identify potential insider threats.
Multiple officials said the process began as the first Guard troops began deploying to D.C. more than a week ago. And they said it is slated to be complete by Wednesday.
"The question is, is that all of them? Are there others?" said McCarthy. "We need to be conscious of it and we need to put all of the mechanisms in place to thoroughly vet these men and women who would support any operations like this."

The American Marxists have coopted two words: "insurrection" (which was legitimately happening this past summer) and "coup" (which was legitimately happening from Jan 20, 2017). In four hours they completely flipped the criminals to the victims.
I hope our side realizes how badly beaten we are.

The FBI is vetting the 25,000 National Guard troops in D.C. to ensure that they‘ll be sufficiently loyal to Joe Biden & Kamala Harris. A military loyalty test based on their background and social media. Essentially a social credit score like China. This is communism. Vile.

@amuse @amuse
Biden’s transition team has revealed there is a very real fear that members of the national guard who support President Trump might kill Biden during the inauguration so they’ve asked commanders to confiscate all ammo and magazines from the soldiers. See photo:

Replying to @amuse
2/ Biden’s transition team asked if it would be possible to determine which soldiers voted in GOP primaries or who have contributed to GOP candidates so commanders could station them away from the president-elect. The request was refused fueling their fear of attack.
3/ When I was in the Marines we were called to LA for the riots. We couldn’t carry ammo. All we had were empty M16-A2s and our humvees.
4/ Biden’s fears started with his Secret Service detail, he had every agent on the White House detailed demoted as he worried about their loyalty to Trump. Democrats think that anyone who supports Trump is a very real threat.
5/ Even @SpeakerPelosi
is fomenting fear by falsely claiming Republican members of Congress are planning to bring guns to the inauguration to intimidate and threaten the president-elect.
6/ The Army has confirmed they’ve acquiesced to Biden’s demand for security screening for National Guard members who support President Trump.
7/ Even the AP is reporting that there is a purge of Republican soldiers from the military underway to placate president-elect Biden.
8/ The FBI has taken over vetting of the 25,000 troops. Any soldiers who believe there was election fraud are being referred for disciplinary action and removed from the Capitol.

It's just a matter of time before those who are vetted as being loyal to the Dim Regime will be given special uniforms,and much higher pay level,and be permanently based in a new unit in DC.
They will also have new "Rules of Engagement" that will apply to no one else in the US military,or to any LEO agency.
I'm hoping Harris has them dressed as pimps once Slow Joe "accidentally" dies in his sleep.

I suppose those who are sufficiently loyal will be organized as an inner Praetorian Guard; Leibstandarte Joe Biden.

FBI Vetting National Guard Assigned to Secure D.C., Biden Inauguration
Penny Starr 18 Jan 2021
Officials in charge of securing the District of Columbia and the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris are vetting National Guard troops because of fears some could be supportive of protests against the results of the 2020 election.
That is a considerable task considering an estimated 25,000 National Guard will be stationed in the District for days before and after the event.
The Associated Press interviewed Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy about the development:
The massive undertaking reflects the extraordinary security concerns that have gripped Washington following the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol by pro-Trump rioters. And it underscores fears that some of the very people assigned to protect the city over the next several days could present a threat to the incoming president and other VIPs in attendance.
In a situation like this one, FBI vetting would involve running peoples’ names through databases and watchlists maintained by the bureau to see if anything alarming comes up. That could include involvement in prior investigations or terrorism-related concerns, said David Gomez, a former FBI national security supervisor in Seattle.
Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy told The Associated Press on Sunday that officials are conscious of the potential threat, and he warned commanders to be on the lookout for any problems within their ranks as the inauguration approaches. So far, however, he and other leaders say they have seen no evidence of any threats, and officials said the vetting hadn’t flagged any issues that they were aware of.
“We’re continually going through the process, and taking second, third looks at every one of the individuals assigned to this operation,†McCarthy told the AP after he and other military official conducted a three-hour military drill.
“The question is, is that all of them? Are there others?†McCarthy said. “We need to be conscious of it and we need to put all of the mechanisms in place to thoroughly vet these men and women who would support any operations like this.â€

I think we're also going to see "political officers" assigned to military units, ships, etc., just as in the Soviet Union (and probably in the Chinese military today).
Their official titles may not contain the word "political", but that's what they'll be.
They'll be "keeping an eye" on everything that goes on, and NO ONE from even general's/admiral's rank on down will dare cross them...

Combine this with the disgusting comments from that fried chicken eating jackass Steve Cohen earlier today and this is a direct slap in the face to all the soldiers who have to be there for this clown show.

The only reason they can bring back retired agents is that they won't have trouble keeping up with a dementia patient who can barely walk let alone move fast :pondering: of course they will have to be very observant if there are any young girls around, even an old dog can move pretty quick when he sniffs a a young female.

Washington Post: QAnon members talked about acting as National Guard members to infiltrate inauguration, FBI intelligence report says
CNN Digital Expansion 2018
By Veronica Stracqualursi, CNN
Updated 1403 GMT (2203 HKT) January 19, 2021
(CNN)The FBI on Monday alerted other law enforcement agencies that QAnon adherents discussed acting as National Guard soldiers in Washington to try and infiltrate President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration, according to The Washington Post.
The FBI, in an intelligence report obtained by the Post, said it monitored individuals downloading maps of sensitive areas around Washington and talking about how those locations could be utilized to penetrate security, the Post reported.
The intelligence report warned that QAnon members and "lone wolves" indicated they plan to travel to Washington for Biden's swearing-in ceremony on Wednesday, the Post said. ...

I think this tells a lot about the direction the nation is headed.
BTW,just out of curiosity, we know that Mitch the Bitch and Pelosi are joined at the hip with the Chinese,but doesn't anyone know if ANYONE in their families has tested positive for Covid-19?
I think it is more than a little strange that only a handful of Congresscritters and Senators have tested positive,yet the Senate and House leadership are ALL a lot older than the typical pol,and yet we haven't heard of any of them or their immediate families getting the virus.
This is the kind of thing that almost makes you wonder if a vaccine hit the US at the same time the disease did,and certain "select" pols and their families were vaccinated.

Barry gave us a peek into what we're seeing now with the "vetting" and purging of the offer ranks when he first took office.
I was very vocal on the forums about my opposition to Obama's policies back then and actually got pulled off of narrating the Veterans Day wreath laying in 2009 in favor of one of my soldiers that was a pro Obama type.
What we're going to see now from Biden and harris is going to be on a much larger scale.
