THREE MORE DAYS! – AT 9:51 A.M. ET:  And the tension builds in Washington, which is bracing for what could be a frightening inauguration day.  From Scott Johnson at Powerline: 

The leftover left that materialized during the Bush administration is returning in force as of January 20. Whatever they do to disrupt events related to the inauguration of Donald Trump as president, it is a preview of coming attractions.

Alex Pfeiffer’s Daily Caller report links to undercover audio posted by FOX News. Jim Hoft seems to be in their sights. Rick Moran notes at American Thinker “Inauguration protests could get very ugly.”

The leftist groups seeking to disrupt the inauguration have formed a front under the name DisruptJ20 (January 20), of which the DC Antifascist Coalition seems to be a constituent. James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas has released the first of a series of undercover videos (below) that features planning to disrupt one event. Stink bombs figure prominently, but that “DC Antifascist Coalition” moniker is a stink bomb all by itself. It harks back to the Communist Party’s Popular Front in the days before World War II. The Popular Front survived as a supposed antiwar movement until the day the Nazis invaded the Soviet Union.

Project Veritas has posted the video along with its own account here. Joseph Klein has a useful overview at FrontPage.

COMMENT:  This is truly chilling stuff.  Scott's report, above, has a number of useful links.  I suggest you read the whole report and use the links.  What Scott presents is a picture of old-style hard-left violence or near-violence.  I saw it many times during the Vietnam War. 

This isn't funny.  Some of these hard-left groups are getting, if not outright approval, then an approving glance, from the left-wing fringe of the Democratic Party.  C.N. (Certified Nutbag) Maxine Waters, congresswoman of California, is already talking impeachment of the president. 

Joe McCarthy must be pleased.  Today he has so many disciples on the political left.
