Secret Service Conveyed Threat Against Pelosi to Capitol Police After Breach: Watchdog

The report from the left-leaning group comes amid widespread attacks on the Secret Service by Democrats

Government watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) in a recent report criticized the U.S. Secret Service for failing to transmit a threat made against Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to the U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) on Jan. 6, 2021.

CREW’s Aug. 17 report reports email communications between various law enforcement and other officials on Jan. 6, including an email by the Secret Service to the USCP warning of a social media threat against Pelosi.

Included in these emails was a 5:55 p.m. ET email from the Secret Service to the USCP “passing notification to the US Capitol Police regarding discovery of a social media threat directed toward Speaker Nancy Pelosi.”

This email came hours after the end of disturbances at the Capitol on Jan. 6.

According to the emails gathered by CREW, the Secret Service knew about some social media threats as early as Jan. 4, 2021.

The account in question, which CREW does not name, posted the following to social media platform Parler that day: “January 6 starts #1776 all over again!! Fight for God! Fight for Your Freedom!! Fight for Your Children!! Fight for Trump!! Fight for America!! Fight for EVERYTHING… Enemies: #MSM #BarackObama #HillaryClinton #GeorgeSoros #JoeBiden #AndrewCuomo #GavinNewsom #NancyPelosi #BillDeBlasio.”

In its report, CREW characterized these and other posts by the user as “a clear call for a violent overthrow of the American government on January 6, 2021.”

Other posts made by the user included tips for protestors planning to attend the rally at the Capitol.

“TIPS FOR THE BRAVE AND COURAGEOUS PATRIOTS GOING TO DC TO FORCE CONGRESS TO REFUSE BIDEN’S RIGGED ELECTION,” one post said, including warnings such as “Keep MAGA gear hidden until AFTER checking
