The intel in advance was pretty specific, and it was enough, in our view, for law enforcement to have done a better job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was noted in the report that the highly politicized commission not only tried to minimize his findings but also went so far as ostracizing him at times. \u201ccontradict\u201d His conclusions.<\/p>\n<p>Heaphy stated that the report contained the following conclusions:<\/p>\n<p>The Capitol Police failed to deploy enough force to defend the building, but the FBI and DHS, the federal agencies charged with collecting intelligence about domestic extremists, didn\u2019t do enough to sound the alarm about the threat.The FBI and DHS were too cautious about exploiting so-called \u201copen source\u201d Social media intelligence was gathered out of misplaced concern over free speech violations. The FBI and DHS made a critical error in not publishing a Joint Intelligence Bulletin. This confused the federal agency responsible, which hindered the response to the attack on the Capitol.<\/p>\n<p>Heaphy stated that law enforcement failed to act on tips they received about violence breaking out on that day. These tips were submitted weeks ahead of time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven if individual tips don\u2019t, by themselves, provide enough specific and credible information to take an investigative step, take a step back. If there are 50 such tips, aggregate intelligence suggests, \u2018Hey, maybe we have a problem,\u2019\u201d Heaphy added. \u201cThat was the failure here.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The chief investigative counsel for the House January 6 committee concluded that failures by federal law enforcement officials played a significant role in the January 6 riot and if those agencies had simply acted on the intelligence they had before hand, they could have prevented the riot.
