Democrats on the Senate Homeland Security Committee have released a report concluding that federal law enforcement agencies failed to correctly analyze a wide range of intelligence showing the potential for violence on Jan. 6, 2021.
Tuesday concluding that federal law enforcement agencies failed to correctly analyze a wide range of intelligence showing the potential for violence on Jan. 6, 2021.
As an example, on Jan. 2, 2021, four days before the Capitol riot, the social media platform Parler sent a post from a user on its site to the FBI that read, “[t]his is not a rally and it’s no longer a protest. This is a final stand where we are drawing the red line at Capitol Hill. […] don’t be surprised if we take the #capital [sic] building.”
“FBI WFO does not have any information to suggest these events will involve anything other than [First Amendment] protected activity,” the email said, adding that the FBI had “identified no credible or verified threat to the activities associated with 6 January 2021.” “The threats to the Capitol on January 6th were not made solely in private conversations that required secretive law enforcement investigative tactics to detect," the report states."On the contrary, these threats were made openly, often in publicly available social media posts, and FBI and I&A were aware of them."
The intelligence reports that were issued dealt with threats of political extremism nationwide and did not address the specific threats to Washington or the Capitol itself. The Senate report comes as the Justice Department’s inspector general continues its own investigation into the FBI and DOJ failures ahead of the Capitol attack.
