While detailing multiple warnings of violence collected by U.S. law enforcement and intelligence officials about protests planned for Jan. 6, the House select committee’s report largely avoids the issue of how federal agencies handled the information.
picked up by the FBI’s Norfolk, Va., field office on social media were never shared with the Capitol Police or even senior officials within the bureau itself, including Director Christopher Wray.
“If readers want to know why Donald Trump is bad, the report is a slam dunk. It’s impeachment 3.0,” Harvin told Yahoo News. But, he said, the committee did not adequately address the “gross negligence” of law enforcement agencies and their lack of coordination. “Well, was there anybody cooperating on the inside? Or why wasn't there a more effective response? That's all legit. We want a more effective response to stop them next time. But nothing absolves Donald Trump and his henchmen for what they did.”
On Dec. 24, the Secret Service received a compilation of social media posts from the SITE private intelligence group that cited a tweet by Trump urging protestors to assemble in Washington on Jan. 6 and telling them “will be wild!”But while the compilation of social media posts was shared with the Capitol Police intelligence unit, other equally alarming reports were never adequately addressed or investigated prior to Jan.
But the committee report makes no recommendations that address the issue. Nor does it resolve the dispute among former Capitol security officials about why the National Guard was not deployed before the riot at the Capitol began. This DHS office is the sole U.S intelligence agency charged by law with sharing emerging threat information with state and local law enforcement. It was helmed at the time by Joseph Maher, who was brought on to the Jan. 6 committee as senior counsel to the vice chair. It’s unclear if his role in the investigation affected the lack of information about DHS in the final report.“What role did Maher and his office play in failing to prevent January 6th?” Zaid asked Yahoo News.
