Additional January 6th Security Failures Laid Out In Bi-Partisan Report.
Although not a completely thorough investigation into the incident, the report details additional security failures that partly led to the January 6th Insurrection. (Politico)
“Those posts were spotted and written up by the Capitol Police’s intelligence division. But as revealed in a new bipartisan report cataloging failures ahead of the insurrection, now-acting Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman told congressional investigators that data on the social media posts was sent only to “command staff” and never reached the department’s highest level. Even as the pro-riot chatter continued and tips came into the intelligence division, the full body of knowledge about what would become a deadly threat was not conveyed to the rest of Capitol Police leadership, rank-and-file officers or other law enforcement partners.
”
A thorough investigation into the January 6th Riot was rejected by the Senate and now smaller piecemeal reports will be surfacing that will attempt to flush out the causes of the January 6th Riot. These reports will be useful to historians and the public alike but fall short of the Warren Commission style investigation that is all encompassing. America deserves a deep dive into the Capitol Insurrection that has a commanding presence among the competing narratives related to that day and that must come from Congressional legislation.
