There are threats suggesting extremists could target the Capitol building during an address by US President Joe Biden, police say, after disclosing that Trump supporters want to "blow up" the building and kill members of Congress.
I'm sure the feds would love for that to happen. Instant justification for another Patriot Act and even more funding.
"Although we knew the likelihood for violence by extremists, no credible threat indicated that tens of thousands would attack the US Capitol, nor did the intelligence received from the FBI or any other law enforcement partner indicate such a threat," she told the House Appropriations Committee.
What a load of bullshit, but I expect nothing less from the fucking chief of the Capitol Police. There's no way the FBI and other law enforcement agencies didn't know a bunch of people were going to show up. They let it happen and some of them actively aided the people who showed up.
She also states "tens of thousands" of people attacked the Capitol, which I find hard to believe.

Would a new patriot act be worth the erosion of US legitimacy though?
