reveal new details about intel warnings ahead of January 6 attack


The January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol was “essentially planned in plain sight on social media” and yet the FBI and Department of Homeland Security appeared to have “completely dropped the ball,” a Senate committee concluded in the latest highly critical assessment of the security failures.

A new report released by Democrats on the Senate Homeland Security Committee paints a freshly damning portrait of various intelligence failures by the FBI and DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis, agencies tasked with preventing domestic terrorism.Internal communications from both agencies, obtained by Democrats on the panel,

reveal new details about how top officials either ignored or dismissed clear indicators of potential violence by pro-rump actors ahead of the US Capitol attack – leaving law enforcement unprepared for what ultimately unfolded that day.

At the same time, the report states that former President Donald rump “was the primary cause of the insurrection,” which it says the bipartisan House January 6 select committee’s investigation demonstrated.
