1) How do we know that the Secret Service, whose job it is to protect the president (and others), has not been compromised by Mr. Trump the way other law-enforcement bodies have apparently been compromised? Will some members of the Secret Service be themselves a threat to President Biden, if not by their actions, then by some intentional inaction?
2) If the political violence being perpetrated by the hard right continues into the early days of the Biden administration, will the new president be forced to consider imposing martial law? If so, is this violence part of a scheme to make him do that, so that the hard right can say, “See, we told you he’d take away our freedoms?”
These sound as if they come from some conspiracy theorist, which I am not. They seem like very real questions that should be addressed, based upon what we are learning about the planning that went into Wednesday’s events.
