Seems interesting that the troops are National Guard. I know at the start some of them were state Nat Guard. I can't figure out if they still are. How much does authority of governers' play here. Theoretically they are all under federal control no ifs-and-such. But as they stay?

Last year has seen a lot of power revealed to be governor+corporate primarily and That Seems Important in this context.

Be interested to see if they start, uh, screening those troops. Weeding out anyone... ambitious.

it's an interesting gambit. politically, it benefits the left to play up the capitol riot / trump threat. but if it does come down to a praetorian guard situation, well, historical military loyalties are interesting aren't they.
