I understand that the USSS is in charge of security for the Inauguration. [View all]

[Sogo]

But do they have authorization to call upon Nat. Guard or the military?

Honestly if the Trumpsters assemble a huge crowd in the hundreds of thousands, any security could be easily overwhelmed, especially if there is some "inside" assistance like we saw with the Capitol Police. (Which calls to mind the need to purge the USSS of any Trumpsters before Inauguration, so that they don't spill the beans about any preparations.)

This will be Trump's last stand, and he's not going to call out reinforcements....and he's got his army pumped up for "revolution." It's likely why he has said he will not attend the inauguration, expecting another riot....

I still say that the Inauguration should be relocated indoors to some secure location and live-streamed to the nation. Let the rioters and seditionists wander around the streets with no place to go....
