He wasn't ever going to say anything out of the ordinary in the speech. He can not look like the aggressor. He has to look like he's towing the status quo until there is a reason not to. Q said there could be a release of every thing the NSA has on people… an ooops moment. In such a situation, POTUS can react to that by stopping the inauguration.
yes ….no one walks 10 acres. Very deliberate
it was an excuse to make a speech using the symbology of the Alamo. Nothing will happen until there is a document breech/release (NSA) that shocks the world. Then he'll have justification to act.
