Trumpian violence in Miami may happen because the core of his support think it’s like Waco rather than wackos
FBI special agents across the country assigned to domestic terrorism squads are actively working to identify any possible threats, four law enforcement sources told CNN, following Trump’s second indictment.
So far, the FBI is aware of various groups like the Proud Boys discussing traveling to south Florida to publicly show support for Trump, sources said, but there is currently no indication of any specific and credible threat.

On some pro-Trump forums, anonymous users were less circumspect. “MAGA will make Waco look like a tea party!” one user posted Friday in an apparent reference to the April 1993 Waco, Texas siege that left 76 people dead.
DEAN OBEIDALLAH: Donald Trump is convicted of half of these charges. Does he go to jail?
GLENN KIRSCHNER: Yes. Has to. Has to go to jail because there has to be a concrete deterrent for others who are contemplating compromising our national security information, mishandling national defense information, which is what gave rise to the espionage charge, obstructing justice, conspiring to do all of these things.
If Donald Trump doesn’t go to prison upon conviction and I predict he will be convicted, then there is no deterrent value to this entire exercise. And by exercise, I mean the criminal investigation, the indictment, and the trial.
Think about it. If he’s sentenced to, for example, home detention, that is a sentence to basically stream Netflix and order DoorDash. That’s no kind of punishment. And I think Jack Smith understands that.
And I think he will do everything he can to get Donald Trump convicted and ask the judge to send him to prison, probably for the rest of his life.
