Biden Admin. Tries To Stop Another January 6th From Happening.

“Senior Biden administration officials have concluded that the government’s Jan. 6 preparations were hampered by a lack of high-level information-sharing and a failure to anticipate how bad the day could be — lessons they say they are applying today in an effort to prevent another such attack.
Those conclusions, shared by people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss how the federal government is trying to improve security a year after the insurrection, are not formal findings, the officials said. But they offer a kind of road map for how the Biden White House is attempting to prevent similar assaults on the democratic functions of government.
“The bottom line, we concluded, was there was insufficient information-sharing and coordination that was raised up to higher levels, and that needed to change,” said one senior administration official. There was also “insufficient anticipation of the kinds of things that could happen,” the official added.”
President Biden is wise to draw conclusions from the Insurrection and what failures led to such a catastrophe in the first place. The narrative may change over the years as more information comes to light but doing a deep dive into exactly what happened that day, or maybe more importantly, what did not happen that led to the riot is imperative. The American public must be appraised of how people in the government incited the riot, aided it, and also what security failures allowed insurrectionists to march into the Capital building.
