Tuesday, 12 January 2021(YJC)_ House Democrats briefed on 3 terrifying plots by the leader of Capitol Police.
Capitol Police briefed Democrats on Monday night about three more potentially gruesome demonstrations planned in the coming days, with one plot to encircle the U.S. Capitol and assassinate Democrats and some Republicans.
On a private call Monday night, new leaders of the Capitol Police told House Democrats they were closely monitoring three separate plans that could pose serious threats to members of Congress as Washington prepares for Democrat Joe Biden’s presidential inauguration on Jan. 20.
The first is a demonstration billed as the “largest armed protest ever to take place on American soil.”
Another is a protest in honor of Ashli Babbitt, the woman killed during Wednesday’s pro-Trump siege of the Capitol.
And another demonstration, which three members said was by far the most concerning plot, would involve insurrectionists forming a perimeter around the Capitol, the White House and the Supreme Court, and then blocking Democrats from entering the Capitol ― perhaps even killing them ― so that Republicans could take control of the government.
The attack at the Capitol last week took place after Trump urged a crowd of supporters on the National Mall to head to the complex and fight the election results as Congress convened to certify the Electoral College votes. Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews later Tuesday that those remarks were "totally appropriate."
