With the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol firmly in mind, officials in those cities are taking Trump at his word — and preparing for the worst.

In Atlanta, for instance, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis recently requested that the FBI assess the security of Fulton County Courthouse and other government buildings.

“I am asking that you immediately conduct a risk assessment of the Fulton County Courthouse and Government Center, and that you provide protective resources to include intelligence and federal agents,” Willis said in a letter to the Atlanta FBI chief, J.C. Hacker…

Peter Odom, a former prosecutor who tried his first homicide case alongside her in 2007, applauded Willis asking for help from the FBI in light of Trump’s recent remarks.

“It’s a security risk for everybody that works in the courthouse where these grand-jury proceedings will be taking place,” he said. “But that doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t take place. We don’t let the people that would threaten our security decide what issues go to a grand jury.”
