I’m Gloria Moraga. This is Political Woman.
I’d like to share a story with you. It comes from CREW. Crew is
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW).
This is important, so I’m just going to read some of their story.
Quote:
Secret Service knew of threats against Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, and Mike Pence for days before the Capitol riot: CREW
The Secret Service withheld for days before the Capitol riot threats made on social media toward House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Vice President Mike Pence, and President Joe Biden, according to Secret Service emails obtained by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW).
CREW’s Jordan Libowitz and Lauren White reported on Wednesday(August 17) that the Secret Service discovered a Parler account on January 4, 2021 — two days before a violent mob overran the Capitol and interrupted lawmakers who were certifying Joe Biden’s win — (that account) which features a series of violent threats towards lawmakers. The reporters didn’t identify the account.
A post on the Parler account had a list of “enemies,” including Pelosi, that had been shared on December 31, 2020. “January 6 starts #1776 all over again…Fight for EVERYTHING,” the post said.
But the Secret Service waited until 5:55 p.m. local time on January 6, 2021, to alert the US Capitol Police, whose officers were by then already defending the Capitol against attackers, according to CREW.
“Good afternoon, The US Secret Service is passing notification to the US Capitol Police regarding discovery of a social media threat directed toward Speaker Nancy Pelosi,” the Secret Service said in a message to the Capitol Police, per CREW.
CREW also found accounts under the same name, which the organization didn’t disclose, on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, MeWe, and Bichute. Posts included warnings and “tips” for the “brave and courageous patriots going to DC to force Congress to refuse Biden’s rigged election.” Rioters were also advised to hide their MAGA gear while checking in at hotels and to “be wary” of DC police officers, while Washington, DC, was decried as a “hotbed for ANTIFA/BLM.”
On a mission to “save America,” the account advised rioters to “stay anonymous. Stay alive. Guns up Patriots!!”
A posted dated January 2, 2021 also said: “Biden will die shortly after being elected…Patriots are going to tear his head off. Prison is his best case scenario.”
CREW also found violent posts being directed at Pence, with one saying: “It’s gonna get violent as we charge the federal buildings and drag out corrupt politicians dead or alive!”
CREW announced earlier Wednesday that it planned to post a series of pieces regarding the Secret Service emails and documents they acquired, demonstrating that the government had received “clear warnings” of the violence ahead.
Here is what the Secret Service said in response to CREW’s report:
Quote from Secret Service:
“While we do not comment on issues pertaining to protective intelligence, the United States Secret Service has an outstanding working relationship with all law enforcement agencies in the National Capitol Region,” the Secret Service said in an emailed statement.”
Unquote.
This is me talking. Did you always wonder why we, the Capitol Police, the government, didn’t know about the danger to lawmakers and the Capitol?
I have. Why were we ready? Why was the breach so easy? We needed to be prepared for these traitors.
The Secret service didn’t want Capitol Police or Washington, DC, law enforcement.
Did Mike Pence know? Nancy Pelosi? What about Joe Biden?
On Jan. 6th. Donald Trump was still President. The line of succession was Pence, then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi. If they were assassinated, what would have happened?
Since it seems that the Secret Service withheld security information until it was too late.
And now we learn key Secret Service agents deleted or destroyed their Text messages on their federally issued phones. It’s time for Joe Biden to clean house. Get rid of the guys running the Secret Service and the Inspector General in charge of Secret Service personnel.
We need to speak up. Fight for Democracy. Vote.
This is a big story, and it has only been quickly mentioned on CNN or MSNBC. I read it on Twitter and then searched for the story. Again, it is from CREW—Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW).
