Discovery of pipe bombs in DC obscured by riot at Capitol

Discovery of pipe bombs in DC obscured by riot at Capitol
security preparations for next week's inauguration here in Washington have accelerated, but it may not be the only place in the country susceptible to violence in the coming days. An FBI bulletin warns of the potential for armed protests at all 50 state capitals. Meanwhile, House Democrats are keeping their fast track impeachment process moving along with a vote this evening. Theo Capital and the country still reeling from last week's violence on internal FBI bulletin warns armed protests are being planned in Washington, D. C. And at all 50 state capitals in the days leading up to inauguration. The bulletin, first reported by ABC 온라인 바카라 게임 and obtained by CNN, also says the FBI is tracking threats to harm President elect Joe Biden, Vice President elect Kamala Harris and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. They're saying this because they have intelligence that indicates this level of threat activity, and that is very concerned. Washington is under an emergency declaration through January 24th, the mayor urging people to stay away. The inauguration poses several unprecedented challenges that exceed the scope of our traditional planning processes. But in the midst of such heightened alert, acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf has resigned Wolf, who served in an acting capacity for 14 months, cited ongoing and meritless court rulings regarding the validity of my authority as acting secretary as the basis for its exit. FEMA Administrator Pete Gainer will step into the role during these crucial days ahead. Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill, House Democrats formally introduced their impeachment resolution charging Trump with incitement of insurrection. A vote is playing for Wednesday. We have to make sure that we're standing up for what is right and for the Constitution and before they vote on that impeachment resolution, the House this evening is scheduled to vote on a resolution that calls on the vice president, Mike Pence, to invoke the 25th Amendment. Sources close to the vice president say that's something he's unlikely to do. And another source close to the vice president says the remaining focus for his days in office will be to telegraph to the rest of the world that the US has a fully functioning government in Washington.

Discovery of pipe bombs in DC obscured by riot at Capitol
As thousands of supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, federal agents were working at the same time to detonate two pipe bombs found just blocks away at the offices of the Republican and Democratic national committees.The focus on the insurrection shifted public attention away from the explosives threat 바카라 게임 웹사이트 which experts say remains a primary concern for law enforcement ahead of next week바카라 게임 웹사이트s inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden. Investigators are increasingly worried about the potential for attacks on soft targets in the nation바카라 게임 웹사이트s capital.The threat is substantial in Washington, where many government buildings, including the U.S. Capitol, are usually open to the public and thousands of tourists wander through massive museums and some of the most iconic monuments in the country at all hours of the day and night and can even get close to the White House.It was around 12:45 p.m. Wednesday when U.S. Capitol Police and agents from the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were called to the Republican National Committee바카라 게임 웹사이트s office after a pipe bomb was found outside. About 30 minutes later, as the agents and bomb technicians were still investigating at the RNC, another call came in for a second, similar explosive device found at the Democratic National Committee headquarters nearby.The two explosive devices were very similar, and both were about a foot long with end caps and wiring that appeared to be attached to a timer, according to two law enforcement officials familiar with the matter. Investigators are still examining the devices and their components to determine the specific compounds inside the pipe bombs, but they both appeared to contain an unknown powder and some metal, the officials said.The officials could not discuss an ongoing investigation publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.Investigators so far have few clues to go on 바카라 게임 웹사이트 and the chaos from the riot at the Capitol didn바카라 게임 웹사이트t make their job any easier.
