Ex-FBI official says law enforcement needs to take upcoming right-wing rally in DC 'very seriously'



Washington (CNN)Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe said Monday evening that law enforcement needs to take the upcoming right-wing rally in support of jailed January 6 rioters "very seriously" as concerns mount about more potential violence on Capitol Hill.

"I think they should take it very seriously. In fact, they should take it more seriously than they took the same sort of intelligence that they likely saw on January 5," McCabe, a CNN contributor, told CNN's Poppy Harlow on "Erin Burnett OutFront."
Law enforcement members in Washington are steeling themselves against possible unrest at the "Justice for J6" rally -- planned for September 18 -- which aims to support the insurrectionists charged in the riot.
The event, organized by a former Trump campaign staffer, has prompted security concerns on Capitol Hill, and some precautionary measures will be in place. However, it's unclear how many protesters plan to attend. The rally is also taking place on a Saturday, when the House will be on recess, so far fewer lawmakers or staff will be around.
A law enforcement source previously told CNN that the Metropolitan Police Department will be fully activated, which includes canceling days off for sworn officers and putting Civil Disturbance Units on standby. The source said the department will monitor open source information -- like online chatter and travel bookings -- to gauge the potential crowds.

They just need an authorization to use it. I hope the unpatriotic idiots that are planning this will puss out like I think they will, but if not. We better be ready for a fight.

He said a huge problem in the all the LE agencies is a culture of white-people-aren't-a-threat.

Saturday, September 18th seems like an odd choice. I would have thought they'd schedule it for the 17th which is when the Constitution was signed. But maybe their legal problems have cost them so much they have to do this on a weekend, this time. LE better have a seriously ready presence if things go south that day, or we'll know the depth of truth to what Frank said.

The fascist terrorists must be met with overwhelming force. Either law enforcement takes care of the problem now, or we get another civil war.
