Barr Preps Prison Guards to Head to D.C. for Election Unrest

[demmiblue]

Source: The Daily Beast

Over 100 personnel from the Justice Department’s Bureau of Prisons, as well as others from the Marshals Service, are preparing to mobilize to the streets of Washington, D.C., for confronting potential election-related unrest, according to a document acquired by The Daily Beast and confirmed by the BOP.

The mobilization suggests that the Justice Department is reprising its activities from June. Back then, in response to Black Lives Matter protests, it corralled law-enforcement personnel from lesser-known Justice Department components and deputized Department of Homeland Security personnel, ostensibly in the name of protecting federal property in D.C. Many of those personnel wore minimal insignia and were often kitted up in military-style body armor, intimidating demonstrators and sparking an outcry.

Dated Oct. 29 and titled a “Deployment Roster,” the Bureau of Prisons’ west coast regional director, Melissa Rios, detailed for a senior BOP official, Assistant Director Andre Matevousian, the “revised” mobilization of 110 security agents from a variety of federal prisons.

The personnel listed have tactical experience in dealing with prison disturbances. They are listed as hailing from SORT, BOP’s Special Operations Response Teams, or DCT, its Disturbance Control Teams. Many of the prisons where the listed officers work have active COVID-19 cases, raising the prospect of a coronavirus spread off of any deployment.

1. Donnie is afraid!!

[Grasswire2]

2. NO TRAINING IN DE-ESCALATION!

That is the attribute Barr seeks. Brutal control only.

[TimeToGo]

3. He will end up in jail at some point

Disbarred at the very least.

[mpcamb]

32. Not soon enough!

[lapfog_1]

4. There is only ONE reason for this

They expect to announce that Trump won and that ballot counting needs to stop... and they expect us to riot over the outright theft of the election

no other scenario produces a riot at the White House.

If Joe wins... we don't riot.
If joe wins a few days later we don't riot.
If Trump wins a few days later... we don't riot tomorrow.

Only if Trump "wins" by cheating tomorrow will there be riots tomorrow.

ergo, they are going to cheat

[SharonClark]

9. They aren't going to be any RIOTS from our side.

[diva77]

48. THIS!!!!!!!!!!

[Clearly fogged in]

10. the plan all along - mihop

the whole going to war mindset might have something to do with it too. in their minds it comes down to preferring war on foreign soils, but ...

[Budi]

13. K & R Yes & that's why the recent reinforcement to the WH barrier walls.

Recall the last time Barr brought in is brownshirts to run a practice drill against peaceful protests so Trump could hold up the bible for the photo-op.

Recall that off to the side lawn, safe from the street fight, stood Bill Barr admiring & accessing his personal army of thugs.

17. +1

[Thomas Hurt]

5. Election unrest equals voter intimidation

[Iliyah]

6. Made room for yourself, treason barr . . .

[ArizonaLib]

7. I am sure any 'civil unrest' they are preparing for are expected protests that Trump doesn't concede

They are not afraid of the 2nd amendment armed crowds - they use the term 'civil unrest' for liberals.

[StClone]

8. Focus on prepping for Covid that thoroughly Toadie

[doc03]

11. It depends on who is doing the rioting. Proud Boys

and Qanon will be called patriots.

[Initech]

35. But remember that soup cans are a weapon now.

They can really do some damage!

[EndlessWire]

50. Yes! Must stock up and check the soup launcher. n/t

[Midnightwalk]

12. In other words to cause unrest. Nt

[modrepub]

14. Prudent (and Hopefully Unnecessary)

DC is like +95% Democratic. I don't think a lot of locals would like the current White House occupant rage tweeting and directing federal officials to interfere in the ongoing election tomorrow night. I also wouldn't want to be amongst the 400+ guests at that residence if the guest of honor goes completely off the rails.

Fox News may have some interesting highlights from the White House about 30 hours from now.

[dameatball]

15. This is just weird enough to be worrisome. Looks like part B of some plan, but we haven't seen A yet

[LiberalArkie]

37. Maybe Donnie is having a "Red Wedding" with all his guests trapped in the White House

[dameatball]

38. Hard to figure. Trying to remember if I saw "Red Wedding." Vincent Price?

[temporary311]

39. Episode of Game of Thrones.

[dameatball]

40. Ohhhh ok. Never saw that one.

[Chemisse]

41. A very memorable episode in Game of Thrones. n/t

[DENVERPOPS]

43. Agreed, we should be afraid, very afraid........

This is beginning to remind me a lot of that weird Cable series......THE PURGE........with all the Rich and Conservatives holding up inside their castles.....

It is more than obvious that the NEW Republican party is filled with sick, demented, sadists, with no limit to what they will dream up....

I wonder who the 400 are made up of..........for starters, how about his grifting spawn, the entire RepubliCON Senate and his cabinet.....who else?

Trump is making the White House a fortress, with non climbable walls around the entire white house, secret service, national guard, his own select goon squads from the prisons, and maybe the same group of psychotic members of the border patrol......

Maybe Erik Prince's merc's will be masquerading around in plain clothes, in the crowd outside the wall around the White House.

How many do you think can fit in the Bunker in the basement of the White House??????

[dameatball]

46. The timing on this is what really bothers me. This is not about getting votes, it's too late.

The only purpose this fence serves is to keep a whole heap of pissed off people out. That leaves a President that already knows he wil lose the vote but has a plan to steal the election and expects significant unrest as a result. (note: another OP is claiming that Melania is on a flight to Florida).
A plan to steal the election that has dubious chances of success would probably not cause immediate civil unrest. A plan to steal the election that was pre-arranged with certain members of the Supreme Court would be a different story. Otherwise there is no reason for leftist "mobs" to be there to any great extent.

I am out of theories.

[Baitball Blogger]

16. This is going to be interesting.

So many possible scenario.

I am guessing that they are expecting a riot once Trump prematurely declares himself the winner.

[onetexan]

26. best we ignore if the Idiot declares himself winner, as i heard discussed earlier by msnbc

he can declare all he wants whatever he think he is - king of the baboons for all i care - it won't do any good.

[Clearly fogged in]

30. guards at the gates

guards at the gates keep people out.
guards at the prison...

[Chainfire]

18. Bringing in the SS, call the Proud Boys, Where are my Nazis?

Washington surrounded, the White house is converted into the Fuhrer Bunker.

"All of those voters are after me."

[littlemissmartypants]

19. What are the odds that our celebratory gatherings may be mistaken

for rioting? I wouldn't be surprised if that proves to be their convoluted thinking. Not unlike the old saying about when you have a hammer everything looks like a nail.

People are going to take to the streets one way or another. It remains to be seen how that gesture is interpreted.

I personally can't wait to scream and shout and blow my horn. Even if I do wake up the dogs.

Good luck everyone!

❤ lmsp

[onetexan]

27. i think it's best Dems stay away from the streets of DC or any major areas LowBarr is sending his

goons to. We know they escalate any peaceful protest into a violent situation and label it such.

[littlemissmartypants]

28. Yep. You're right. No one needs to take any chances. ❤ nt

[BlueIdaho]

20. He'd better send some to surround his house.

He’s not exactly popular these days...

[pfitz59]

21. Blame Canada

[NotANeocon]

22. The bible incident WAS NOT a photo-op --

- It was actually a dry run.

[Sierra89]

23. They have the wrong training

for that type of crowd control. I would not trust their temperment, either. It's crowds, not freakin' cell extractions.

This bullshit will go sideways.


Stay Safe. COUNTRY OVER PARTY!

[sandensea]

24. Just another day at the office for Jabba the Barr

[LiberalArkie]

25. What if they gave a riot and no one showed up?

[onetexan]

33. they can't have a riot if there's no one rioting? LOL

Anywaze they'll just claim it was all assembled out of precaution.

[halfulglas]

29. If we win early, there will be no need for riot police.

If he loses and doesn't concede, there will be no riot. The constitution is clear. Even if he squats in the White House, he loses the POWER of the presidency on January 21. Maybe we can gas him out if he doesn't move by then. Except that he will be squatting in OUR house, he has no power - and his guards will leave because he will have no power to pay them. We might cut off power or something. He will lose his servants. Serve eviction notice. Turn off the water. What would Jared do?

[EndlessWire]

51. I like this idea.

We could all play WH bingo.

[C Moon]

31. I'm thinking part of what these two are afraid of is that the public is going to want him out NOW...

...after he loses tomorrow night.
I wonder where the Mrs. went? I highly doubt she's staying there during all of this.

[rickyhall]

34. I hope Barr gets prison guards of his own so they can watch over him.

[3825-87867]

36. We might wonder how many of those "guards"

who are or will be without identification maybe don't speak English too well because they grew up learning the Cyrillic Alphabet?

Might be why the ones in Portland had no visible ID's and never opened their mouths.

Loaners from a short Eurasian dictator for life?

[Evolve Dammit]

42. Public servants he can ORDER to go/do wherever/ whatever he chooses. Or they are unemployed.

[Hotler]

44. Barr is a fascist and, needs to be treated as such.

Shunned and shouted down where ever he goes in public.

[jiminvegas]

45. I'm okay with trump being surrounded by prison guards

[James48]

47. They have NO legal authority for riot control

They are prison guards, NOT District police officers. They have no legal standing off federal property.

[warmfeet]

49. Barr is going to have a very rough time.

He may want to tread very lightly. Ha ha ha ha, he cannot do that, obviously.
