To activate Insurrection Act, The POTUS has to first declare a state of emergency, which he did just now.

He must issue a public proclamation declaring his intent to invoke.

"This public proclamation basically asks those who are the insurgents to cease and desist and go back to their homes peaceably, and give them the opportunity to do that." Peck says that alert also gives the checks and balances system to kick in.β€œ

Secretary pompeo releases 6 tweets from 3-6 ET that were exactly 30 minutes apart. If you see him do something similar soon with shorter intervals, that’s something to pay attention to. There were rumors he would mark the countdown

See this is interesting though. Pompeo doesn't live completely under a rock, he's called out my name, specifically around his tweets. So he's HAD to have heard about the tweet count down thing.

I would think at that point he'd make a tweet that says something to the effect of "the regularity of my tweets mean nothing, Q is bullshit" Unless he just has a dark sense of humor and is enjoying fucking with people...

Otherwise, his silence might imply that it has to have some sort of significance.
