FOG BLOG U.S. POLITICS LOG: SECURITY BEEFED UP AT CAPITOL AHEAD OF BIDEN'S INAUGURATION:

FENCING WENT UP LATE LAST WEEK AND COMPLETED AND NOW WITH THE FBI WARNING OF ATTACKS ON THE DAY OF THE INAUGURATION , RAZOR WIRE IS ADDED FOR MORE PROTECTION TO THE CAPITOL BUILDING. ALSO MORE NATIONAL GUARD AND POLICE ARE DEPLOYED THERE....THERE ARE REPORTS OUT THAT 200 OF THE MOBS INVOLVED IN THE INSURRECTION HAVE BEEN ARRESTED AND CHARGED.....ALSO THAT RETIRED POLICE AND VETERANS WERE INVOLVED TOO!..........Security is ramping up in the nation's capital, following a riot at the U.S. Capitol last week, the impeachment of President Trump Wednesday, and in preparation for a new commander-in-chief to be sworn into office next week.

"It's a transformed city, let me tell you," said Congresswoman Susan Wild (D-PA-07).

Wild said 10-foot fences surround the building, and National Guard troops are virtually everywhere. More than 20,000 National Guard troops are expected in D.C.

"It's very difficult to get to the Capitol. If you're trying to drive, you are stopped blocks away. Those of us with member IDs can get through, but even then, there are still barricades we have to get through," Wild said.Security plans and partnerships are in the works in Pennsylvania too. There are already barricades on site, and more than 400 National Guard troops are on standby.

"There's been intelligence coming that there's a planned event that's going to hit every capital city," said Chief Thomas Carter with the Harrisburg Police Department.

Carter said there's been no specific talk of anything happening in Harrisburg. However, Carter said there has been chatter of an armed march in D.C. this weekend, that may extend to state capitals too.

"Right now, it's a chess game, and we're in it for the long haul. We're in it to protect the assets of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania," Carter said.
