MADRID, 21 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -
A whistleblower alerted the FBI in December 2020 that the extreme right in the United States had understood one of former President Donald Trump's latest Twitter messages as a "call to arms" for January 6, 2021, thus reaffirming the theories. that the authorities would have underestimated the potential danger that the congressmen were running that day, as reported by the NBC television network on Wednesday.
This source, who is still an FBI agent, warned that one of Trump's messages on Twitter encouraging people to attend the demonstration that was scheduled to take place in Washington on January 6 was understood by far-right groups and their acolytes as luck. call for insurrection.
That message from Trump, according to the aforementioned source, was "gaining ground" on social networks and should be taken as a reason for "great" concern given the possibility that the congressmen who were scheduled to certify Joe Biden's victory that day in the elections November 2002 could see their security threatened.
The information provided was collected for weeks in Internet forums that these types of people used to go to, which even talked about starting a civil war and hanging traitors, according to emails I sent to the FBI and that NBC reported. has been able to review
"Hell is going to break loose", "I have my weapons ready", "I am not afraid of death and I will gladly kill to preserve our country" or "Blood is the price of freedom" are some of the messages that this informant highlighted during those emails.
This new information is added to the rest of the evidence that in the weeks following the attack and as the investigations progressed, the knowledge that the FBI had about the possible threat that existed became known. Despite this, the House of Representatives committee avoided talking about the mistakes of the security forces in its report this year, on the occasion of the first anniversary.
The work of those responsible for the security forces has been widely questioned, with the Capitol Hill agents themselves denouncing having been abandoned to their fate that day.
In addition, the presence in previous violent protests in which heavily armed militias such as the Oath Keepers, whose leaders have been convicted of sedition crimes, or the Proud Boys, who are waiting to suffer the same fate, rejecting the election result, revealed the mismanagement of the authorities.
