With even former high-ranking officials like Obama Attorney General Eric Holder calling for an uprising, now is the time for the Secret Service to prepare for what may happen if hundred of thousands of angry leftists descend on Washington and surround the White House.

Via CBS News “Secret Service holds first-ever live drill on White House grounds”:
Before dawn at the White House Friday, with President Trump inside the residence, a silent night suddenly roared toward daybreak. A Secret Service dog, alarmed by a would-be intruder, rushed the target, part of the first-ever live security drill on White House grounds. The goal is to find problem areas.
In his first network news interview, Secret Service Director Randolph “Tex” Alles told CBS News that agents need to simulate real-time scenarios.
“You fight like you train,” Alles said. “Then you need to train like you fight. We’re trying to provide realistic training that would be similar to what would happen if there’s an emergency on the White House grounds.”

Alles said his agency has been able to reduce fence-jumpers by adding bike racks along the fence line, but it’s a different kind of threat that has him on alert.
“The most dangerous part would be some form of complex attack,” Alles said. “Potentially a suicide attack with some kind of follow-on attack with the suicide bomber that would be my most dangerous course that we want to think about.”
In 2014, a mentally troubled man named Omar Gonzalez succeeded in jumping the fence and actually making it into the building with a knife. Fortunately, President Barack Obama and his family were not home at the time of the intrusion.
