DHS concerned about violence stemming from Trump reinstatement conspiracy theory
"[D]HS is providing awareness of reports regarding an increasing but modest level of activity online calling for violence in response to unsubstantiated claims of fraud related to the 2020 election and the alleged 'reinstatement' of former President Trump," the notice said, according to CNN, who cited a source.

"As public visibility of the narratives increases, we are concerned about more calls to violence. Reporting indicates that the timing of these activities may occur during August 2021, although we lack information on specific plots or planned actions," the notice adds, according to CNN.

Pelosi suggests Jan. 6 panel could investigate Jordan and Banks
During an interview with The 19th News, Pelosi said that she vetoed Republican Reps. Jim Banks (Ind.) and Jim Jordan (Ohio) from serving on the committee because she thought they were "outrageous" and "not serious."

"I mean, they probably — " Pelosi began, adding, "Well, we'll see what the committee finds out about them, but they weren't going to be on the committee."

"There would be antics and clowns and not serious about this and still participants in the big lie," Pelosi said, referring to former President Trump's false claims that the election was stolen from him. "I didn't really care if they had voted to accept the results of the election or not. All I wanted them to be is willing to seek the truth."

Banks on Monday accused Pelosi of using the select committee to target her political opponents by suggesting he and Jordan could be investigated.

"That is an abuse of power and if she follows through she needs to be held accountable. It is banana republic style politics that doesn’t belong in America. If Democrats had integrity, they would condemn this behavior at home with the same enthusiasm with which they condemn it abroad," Banks said in a statement.

Jordan has confirmed that he spoke with Trump on Jan. 6, which could lead the select committee to ask him what he discussed with the former president that day.

When asked in an interview with Spectrum News late last month if he had spoken with Trump on Jan. 6, Jordan replied, "Yeah I mean — I spoke with the president last week, I speak with the president all of the time. I spoke with him on Jan. 6. I mean, I talked with President Trump all the time and that's ... I don't think that's unusual. I would expect members of Congress to talk with the president of the United States when they're trying to get done the things they told the voters in their district to do."

But Jordan didn't specify whether he spoke with Trump before, during or after the Capitol was attacked by a mob of the former president's supporters.

“I spoke with him that day, after? I think after. I don't know if I spoke with him in the morning or not. I just don't know. ... I don't know when those conversations happened,” Jordan said.

On Tuesday, the Huffington Post reported that Logan Barnhart, a pro-Trump Michigan bodybuilder, has been arrested after online "sedition hunters" used Instagram shots to identify him as a Capitol rioter wanted for dragging a D.C. Metropolitan Police officer down a set of stairs.

"Seven months after the man online sleuths dubbed #CatSweat was photographed dragging a police officer down a set of stairs during the attack on the U.S. Capitol, the Michigan man has been arrested by the FBI," said the report. "Barnhart, whom the FBI referred to as Capitol suspect 128-AFO because he was wanted for assaulting federal officers, was a major target for the 'Sedition Hunters' community, which had given him the nickname 'CatSweat' because he was wearing a sweatshirt branded with the name of Caterpillar, the construction equipment manufacturer. (Barnhart worked as a machine operator for Barnhart & Son Inc., which is owned by his father.)"

According to the report, "CatSweat" has been a "white whale" of the Sedition Hunters for months — one of the original rioters captured in an image that inspired the community to try to identify the perpetrators.

Ultimately, his identity was uncovered because the Sedition Hunters found a clear image of his face in the crowd at the "Save America" rally that immediately preceded the attack. Plugging his name into a reverse image search uncovered him on several bodybuilder sites, and led to his Instagram account, which featured images of him wearing the same outfit he wore at the riot.

"Several defendants have been arrested in connection with that attack, including Jack Wade Whitton, who was positioned next to Barnhart and had his hand on the back of the officer's neck. (Whitton has been indicted alongside Jeffrey Sabol, Peter Stager, Michael Lopatic, Clayton Mullins.)" said the report. "Federal prosecutors said suspects including Whitton and Sabol dragged the officer ― identified by the initials 'B.M.' ― down the stairs and into the crowd, where Peter Stager used an American flag on a pole to beat him."

Secret Service warned Capitol Police about threats on Jan 5: report
One day before the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, the Secret Service, from the Protective Intelligence Operations Center’s (PIOC) account, sent an email to a recipient associated with the Capitol Police informing them of a tip sent in by a “concerned citizen” at the Denver Field Office regarding people who were flying to the Washington, D.C. area to “attend tomorrow’s rally and ‘incite violence.’”

The subject of an email, obtained by the liberal-leaning government watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) through the Freedom of Information Act and shared with Politico, is “Officer Safety - 1/6 Demonstrations.”

“Per our Denver Field Office, a concerned citizen reported that [REDACTED] were flying into BWI today to attend tomorrow’s rally and ‘incite violence.’ In addition, the source reports that [REDACTED] previously made threats against President-Elect Biden,” the email reads.

“The subjects claimed that they are in the area to protest election fraud, support President Trump, and acknowledged the possibility of violence if approached by counter-protesters,” the email added.

The tipster also reported information regarding the “gear and weapons” people were reportedly bringing with them to Washington.

“The source also reported that [REDACTED] was driving to DC with gear and weapons, to include ballistic helmets, armored gloves and vests, rifles, and suppressors. The items are reported to be loaded in ‘black plastic tubs with paster locks,’” the email reads.

In another email obtained by CREW, an address associated with the Secret Service informed the PIOC about threats made against D.C. Police on the conservative social media platform, Parler.

The posts included a number of threatening statements: “Its time the DC Police get their ass whooped for being traitors in our nations capitol,” “DC Police are the enemy of the people. No mercy on the 6th. They are not on our side,” “time to fight! We cant trust the police, the laws, or politicians. It’s time to take out all of them to remain a free country on the 6th,” and “The police need to be dealth with on the 6th. Our 2A covers Marxist police officers. If they want a war, they will get one Wednesday. (middle finger emoji) the DC Police.”

The newly revealed emails sent by the Secret Service to the Capitol Police warning of threats on Jan. 6 further bolster reports of intelligence failures by pertinent authorities in preparing for the violent, deadly riot.

Senate investigators released a 127-page report in June that outlined a number of intelligence and communication failures by pertinent departments in the lead up to Jan. 6.

House panel probing Jan. 6 attack seeks Trump documents
The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol is seeking a trove of documents from the prior Trump administration, giving the White House record keepers and other agencies two weeks to turn them over.

The first wave of document requests was delivered to the National Archives — where White House records are retained — but also the FBI, Department of Homeland Security and others.

“The Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol is examining the facts, circumstances, and causes of the January 6th attack. Our Constitution provides for a peaceful transfer of power, and this investigation seeks to evaluate threats to that process, identify lessons learned and recommend laws, policies, procedures, rules, or regulations necessary to protect our republic in the future,” Committee Chair Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) wrote in the letter sent to the agencies.

According to the committee, the requests to the National Archives “demands a wide range of White House records of the previous administration.”
The letters were delivered as Thompson said earlier this week that the panel would ask communications companies to turn over records for hundreds of people, including lawmakers.

“We have quite an exhaustive list of people. I won't tell you who they are, but it's several hundred people that make up the list of people we are planning to contact,” he said Monday.

Wednesday’s letters fall short of the committee’s suggestion that it may move straight to subpoenas in order to gain access to records.

“We have already had discussions about the need to subpoena documents and the sense of urgency we have. Normally we would request voluntary compliance. We may move quickly to subpoenas when it comes to documents so that we ensure that they're preserved and that there's no delay,” Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) told reporters in late July.

The request to the National Archives comes after the Biden White House previously rebuffed a coalition of House committees that asked for officials to turn over records from the previous administration.

“A lot of those documents would be in the National Archives, I believe, so I’m not sure it would be White House documents," White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in March.
