    1. Congressman @RepJasonCrow has requested the Army do an investigation to make sure no troops “sympathetic to domestic terrorists" work on the inauguration. It's a legitimate concern -- both active duty and retired military participated in Capitol Building Putsch.https://twitter.com/NatashaBertrand/status/1348387250397192192 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    New: @RepJasonCrow’s office has released a readout of his conversation with Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy, which includes this—“Secretary McCarthy indicated that DOD is aware of further possible threats posed by would-be terrorists in the days up to and including Inauguration Day” pic.twitter.com/b58yi7Mgqi

        2. The good news is that although Trump tried to turn the military into his Praetorian Guards, they successfully resisted. The bad news is that at least some in the military and some retired troops (particularly Air Force) joined in insurrection.

        3. Retired military participating in an insurrection is especially dangerous because of special status granted socially to veterans but also their training -- as in Civil War, the most dangerous scenario is trained troops taking up arms.

        4. A house cleaning needs to be done. The military has a special tool for that: court martial. This can be used against not just currently serving troops but also retired military, starting with Michael Flynn & working down.

        Trump resigning in advance of 1/20 would obviously reduce tension. Why aren’t Republicans calling for this, if “unity” actually is their goal?

        How about no troops sympathetic to domestic terrorists allowed to serve AT ALL?

        At this point I don't trust the secret service. I really wish @JoeBiden & @KamalaHarris would just get sworn in in a small ceremony. When will the Whitehouse be fumigated?

        I understand the importance of doing this. But how? I'm not talking about the obvious traitors that showed up last Wed. How about the remaining sleeper traitors?
