2…………> Trump’s Goodbye: We Did Our Duty Speech

.

Outgoing US President Donald Trump made his farewell address before leaving office, saying: “We did what we came to do – and so much more,” saying he took on “the tough battles, the hardest fights… because that’s what you elected me to do”.

Mr. Trump has still not fully accepted the result of last November’s election, which he lost to Democrat Joe Biden, his successor will be sworn in as president on Wednesday.

The last two weeks of Mr. Trump’s term have been dominated by the fallout from the deadly riot on Capitol Hill, when a mob of his supporters stormed Congress, seeking to overturn the election result.

“Political violence is an attack on everything we cherish as Americans. It can never be tolerated,” Mr. Trump said in his video, in which he did not acknowledge his successor by name.

3…………> Preps For Biden: In Full Force Under Armed Protection

.

The last pillars of the Trump presidency will be swept away on Wednesday, as the Bidens move into the White House, offices will have been cleared out, rooms scrubbed clean and the president’s aides will be replaced by a new team of political appointees, a part of the massive transformation that a new presidency brings to the heart of government.

The West Wing usually hums with activity but it seemed deserted, with the phones silent, and desks in empty offices were cluttered with papers and unopened letters, as if people had left in a hurry and would not be coming back. Dozens of senior officials and aides quit in the wake of the Capitol riots on 6 January.

4…………> Armed Protests: An FBI Trap?

.

Mass armed protests initially called for by some extreme Trump supporters in the lead-up to inauguration day have so far not materialized, following an apparent change of strategy by the groups involved, but in recent days those calls have been reversed and a new theory put forward on fringe platforms – that plans for armed protests were instead a “trap” set up by the FBI, or supporters of the left-wing Antifa or Black Lives Matter (BLM) groups.

Some of these discussions have been happening on less popular and less public online platforms, where many Trump supporters from far-right and conspiracy groups have migrated after being kicked off Facebook and Twitter in the wake of the Capitol riots on 6 January, as the vast majority of armed rallies that were initially being promoted have so far not gone ahead following the warnings, and despite earlier fears of violence, there were only a few armed protesters in front of state capitols in several states, including Michigan and Ohio.

5…………> Trump Last Order’s: Declassify Russia Probe

.

In a last-minute move before he exits the White House on Wednesday, US President Donald Trump has ordered the declassification of key materials related to the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane surveillance operation of his 2016 presidential campaign.

According to the White House’s memo, which is addressed to the attorney general, director of national intelligence, and CIA director, Trump ordered a number of documents on the Crossfire Hurricane counterintelligence operation “declassified to the maximum extent possible” over the FBI’s persistent objections, allowing that certain documents to remain classified as required by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court and that he allowed the FBI to make redactions to the documents he selected for declassification.
