@DennisinMH :
In DC, there were already 1,200 National Guards helping around the White House and other areas. Apparently that wasn't enough. Another 3,300 were called in from several states, including Special Forces units from Utah because they were getting ready to be deployed elsewhere. Why Special Forces units for the White House? www.yahoo.com/gma/qu estions-arise-over-s pecial-forces-guardi ng-donald-trump
@DennisinMH :
Actually I have to say that some people really do wonder if the Secret Service is keeping their eye on something else.
Trump is going to Maine today and after that no travel for awhile. He had a golfing outing scheduled for tomorrow which was canceled.
In some ways this is exactly like what happened right after the OKC incident. We made a day trip out to VA and got back around 7pm and there were very well armed police around seeming to keep an eye on things. About 10:30 that night suddenly Clinton announced that traffic in front of the White House on PA Ave was going to be shut down effective at midnight and the no parking area was extended. Police were everywhere. Parked cars and trucks were towed and barriers were erected in some places. It was almost like they knew of something. Some very interesting coincidences in the mix here especially that it all is happening in a small area. The biggest security situation I can recall was when Rabin and Arafat met with Clinton at the White House . Yet there are
some glaring differences too.
