Intelligence failure. if theres any excuse -- and its not an excuse, obviously the people who think about this stuff had never seen anything like this. there were plenty of indications on social media that people were planning violence. they had looked at the graphics of the architecture of the capitol. it was also a failure to prepared. our national security and our police forces and capitol police, all of the associated agencies, theyre there to prevent the worst-case scenario. we werent close...

Bipartisan commission. despite the gaping holes, mitch mcconnell used the report for justification for blocking a commission. >> todays report is one of the many reasons im confident in the ability of existing investigation to uncover all actionable facts about the events of january 6th. ill continue to support these efforts over anything that seek to politicize the process, and i would urge my colleagues to do the same. joining me is congressman jim hines of connecticut. i would love your tho...

The capitol and people sharing maps of the capitol tunnels online but failing to pass that information up the chain to senior leadership and down the chain to the rank and file officers who turned out to be unprepared on the day. and its just one example of how this report says there was a massive intelligence failure where it wasnt just the capitol police but the fbi and dhs also had access to this information and did not distribute it, did not act on it. the report also points out that pittman...

Always looked like to me. a whole bunch of people playing down, all of this intelligence that was there, and a group saying oh, no, no, these people are harmless, dont worry about them, and downplaying the intelligence. yes, there were intelligence failures but it seems to me its due to political influence. >> im one of those people who repeatedly said this wasnt so much an intelligence failure but rather than failure to execute on intelligence. what the report doesnt speak to, not only the what...

To get e-mails and internal traffic and interview key participants, this report sheds very little new light on what was going on inside the fbi and dhs, and what intelligence they gathered and what threats they knew about. and instead, it simply relies on the public testimony that we already saw from key fbi and dhs officials before this committee. and so its clear there was an intelligence failure on the part of not only the capitol police, but these national agencies. but the report, because t...

Time line were getting of the day. one that basically aggregates everybodys idea of what happened that day. that was something we were trying to nail down. a couple details that quickly emerge are the immense intelligence failures. so there has been some concern that this was not really an intelligence failure in terms of getting the information. it was that it was an analysis problem and that is, i think, highlighted in this report. for example, capitol police, there really was a hot of intelli...

Go up to the capitol. and again, the anguished cries from the officer. does anybody have a plan, does anybody have a plan?! nobody seemed to have a plan for anything, ken. >> good morning, joe. thats right, i think you guys laid it out really well. this was an incredibly frustrating and infuriating report. both for whats in it, and also whats not in it. because as you said, joe, one of the themes of this report was, there was a massive intelligence failure here. which, by the way, none of the ag...

Is capable of doing. they are very good at holding people accountable for specific violations of statutes that are on the books, but looking beyond that at the bigger picture about things like was there an intelligence failure, was there a security failure, was there an information-sharing failure? do we need additional laws on the books for social media? those questions are best answered by a special commission and thats something prosecutors cant do. >> at this point it looks like thats not go...

We will get to the bottom of how it happened. that investigation is different than the ups ongoing probe of various people who attacked law enforcement officers, who trespassed on the capitol, who brought pipes and bat and flagpoles and fire extinguishers and bear spray to attack law enforcement officers and tried to harm and maybe kill and hang members of congress. but the 9/11 commission was able to find, and a january 6th commission would be able to do this as well, the roots of the security ...

Officers. potentially try to harm and maybe even kill and hang with members of congress. the 9/11 commission was able to find in the january 6th commission would be able to do this as well, the roots of the security failure. have we not been able to spot on the horizon before this group of domestic extremists seemingly very organized according to the police chiefs who are on the scene, the commanders? what kind of intelligence failure did this represent, that nobody in the fbi, the department of...
