FBI agents are not trained to patrol streets. And every agent that is assigned to do that is NOT investigating: *foreign spies stealing gov't and trade secrets *foreign and domestic terrorist threats *crimes like fraud, corruption, trafficking, and violent crimes (among others) Do you feel safer?

Trump on January 6: Nancy Pelosi stopped me from sending the DC National Guard to protect the Capitol.

Trump tomorrow: the President of the United States has complete control over the DC National Guard.

This has nothing to do with Epstein.

In fact, I'm starting to wonder if that entire thing was a carefully choreographed side show in preparation for this.

I'll wager half of the agents will be strolling past the WH all night, so Der Dotard can look out the window and see them, and take greater comfort that the agents are fending off the ghost of Jeffrey Epstein...

"to help local law enforcement prevent carjackings and violent crime in Washington."

Did they ask for help?

I'm wondering where all those 2nd amendment rights dudes with guns are. They've been prepping to fight federal government overreach for a decade. They didn't show up in California. Will they show up in DC? It'd be a shame if they did all that prep and then sided with federal government overreach because owning the libs is more important than the Constitution they claim as their guide.

This is plain stupid. FBI agents are NOT trained to patrol city streets. Trump and his advisors know that. I suspect this decision has been made for the purpose of punishing rank and file FBI agents for making Trump's life such hell for so many years. Irresponsible pay-back is an even a bigger bitch than normal payback.

This is a way over reaction to try and justify a small power grab.

These agents have got to be ticked off: patrolling the streets like a regular beat cop?

This will cut into their work protecting democracy by drumming up fake charges using Steel dossiers.

Your daily reminder that there was WAY more evidence than just the steele dossier.

Would you like to offer an explanation for how trump ended up choosing russian asset paul manafort as his campaign manager, out of everyone in the world he could have picked?

Small power grabs lead to larger ones in larger cities, and this Traitor WH already has plans to duplicate this around the country.

But supporters of traitors don't care. They should though... in the Old West, if you rode with an outlaw, you died with an outlaw.

"Trump wants Alabama-based military reaction force' to stop violence in cities, report states
Updated: Aug. 12,

Documents obtained by The Washington Post indicate that the Pentagon is evaluating plans to set up a task force of National Guard soldiers who could respond to riots, violence, and unrest in American cities.

The report says Alabama is included in the tentative plans as the host of one of two planned bases for a "Domestic Civil Disturbance Quick Reaction Force."
