    Capitol Police Ignored Warnings Report Finds

    Capitol Police ignored intelligence warnings ahead of Jan. 6 riots, watchdog report finds

    The agency also lacked necessary policies and procedures leaving them unprepared to deal with the deadly attack, an inspector general report found.



    WASHINGTON — The Capitol Police ignored critical intelligence ahead of the Jan. 6th riot, including overlooking a warning that, “Congress itself is the target,” according to an internal watchdog report obtained by NBC News.

    The police force tasked with protecting the U.S. Capitol also lacked policies and procedures that left them severely unprepared to deal with the deadly insurrection, the 104-page report prepared by the Capitol Police’s inspector general found. The report has not been made public.

    The findings offer a devastating account of the Capitol Police preparation ahead of and response to the deadly attack that unfolded on Jan. 6th when a crowd of supporters of then-President Donald Trump descended on the building to try to stop the certification of President Joe Biden's election victory.

    The report also makes several recommendations about how the Capitol Police can be better prepared in the future.

    NBC News reviewed the report on Wednesday ahead of a public hearing on Thursday before a House Administration subcommittee to discuss its findings. The watchdog's findings were first reported by The New York Times.

    In perhaps its most damning finding, the inspector general found that the Capitol Police’s intelligence unit warned three days before the riot that supporters of Trump, who believed his false claims that the 2020 election had been stolen, had made specific plans to target Congress on Jan. 6 and were “actively” promoting violence.

    “Unlike previous post-election protests, the targets of the pro-Trump supporters are not necessarily the counter protesters as they were previously, but rather Congress itself is the target on the 6th,” a Jan. 3 threat assessment said, according to the report.

    The inspector general quoted the intelligence warning as saying, “Stop the Steal’s propensity to attract white supremacists, militia members and others who actively promote violence may lead to a significantly dangerous situation for law enforcement and the general public alike.”

    The report found that the Department of Homeland Security had also issued a warning to the Capitol Police, and notified them that it had identified a map of the U.S. Capitol’s tunnel system on message boards where Trump supporters congregated. In addition, the report found that an FBI field office in Norfolk, Va., also warned the Capitol Police.

    I can accept that a DC Bureaucracy like the Capitol Police are simply mismanaged like everything else in that City. But I do recall how any criticism let alone what you suggest was treated with attacks from the left who suddenly flipped into becoming police supporters for a Day.

    The Capitol Police screwed up and people died.

    And how about the False Narrative of Trump having caused this with his speech going down the drain. The Official IG Report makes that clear, not Right-Wing news.

    A cop murdered an unarmed white woman. DOJ gave the cop a pass. Mark it down.

    One unjust event like this will be the sparking event that marks the beginning of the shooting civil war.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    The Capitol Police were told to stand down to support the narrative that Trump was inciting an insurrection. The problem is MAGA didn't riot. They were allowed in by Capitol Police.

    It was John Sullivan and his crew of over 200 antifa-blm types that actually rioted and broke $#@!. The dummies posted it on social media, yet the MSN and the prosecutors are saying MAGA are insurrectionists.

    And as we have shown, these cases are falling apart.
