Generally -- only seemed to be worried about the idea of, like, a fracas, if antifa showed up and trump supporter showed up, there would be violence and blood in the streets. but that is not what happened. and that naivete and that assumption about what the oath keepers were up to was, really, an intelligence failure writ large for the federal government, not just for the secret service. >> yeah, and we talk about that intelligence failure, lets say, in and around january 6th, my question to you...

This rally or this event. that is not unusual. however, i think what this really highlights and cements for a lot of us reporters who wrote extensively about january 6th is that law enforcement did not have any real palpable fears about a conservative -leaning group with white nationalism and white supremacists in its midst, our military in many respects, and basically viewed it as guys that were on the side of cops. and therefore, they were only worried -- and this is not just the secret servic...

Intelligence failure, lets say, in and around january 6th, my question to you is, i noticed, and im sure you did, that jack smith has included 3 million pages -- some of it redundancy, some of it unrelated, but necessary for the purposes of discovery, but nonetheless a lot of material from the secret service in this initial batch of discovery that is being shared with trumps legal team -- do you have any thoughts on what that could be? >> you may remember, alex, that at the very last minute, und...

In january when the select committee came out with the report. >> but in retrospect, is it fair to call them the stakes? or could have been bad moves by design? >> i always push back at this notion the january 6th was an intelligence failure. there was no failure of intelligence. there was a failure to heed the intelligence. i like the title. the title speaks exactly what happened. this was the most projected, predictable, and known attack to the homeland in these two united states. these indivi...
