An FBI bulletin obtained by ABC News on Monday raised alarm about a group which is calling for the 'storming' of  state, local, and federal government administrative buildings and courthouses should President Donald Trump be removed from office prior to Joe Biden's inauguration on January 20. The bulletin said the FBI is aware of plans for armed protests in every single state between January 16 and 20, with one major demonstration slated to take place in Washington, DC, on January 17. The bulletin came to light just as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi introduced articles of impeachment accusing Trump of incitement to insurrection on Monday, five days after a mob of the president's supporters stormed the Capitol grounds last Wednesday in a futile bid to block Congress from certifying Biden's election victory. More than 6,000 members of the National Guard were deployed to Washington, DC, over with weekend, with dozens of them standing guard over the Capitol during Monday's proceedings.
