Four House committee leaders are launching an investigation into 'high-level failures' of intelligence and security planning that left the Capitol vulnerable to insurrection on Jan. 6

"The Committees will conduct robust oversight to understand what warning signs may have been missed," the House committee leaders said in a letter.

"This still-emerging story is one of astounding bravery by some U.S.

The committees are seeking a series of classified briefings beginning in late January to help lawmakers understand the evidence of threats they had collected, both about Jan. 6 and other threats to the transition of power leading up to Biden's Jan. 20 inauguration.

Trump should be treated like other departing presidents and no more. But who wants him to invite 'people' onto a military base a day before the inauguration His friends, rich or poor, aren't honorable people. We haven't examined Andrews troop records for white supremacy ties

I don't believe they were missed. I think they were covered up.

Kind of putting the cart in front of the house, investigation should have been launched and completed before impeachment.

There was no failure. Everything went as planned, except being able to get to their targets.

Start with the damn congressman who gave tours

Apparently we have not found one damn thing from the 9/11 commission

State Police in Austin protecting the Capital better keep watch on AG Ken Paxton and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick. They might open the gates to the insurrectionists.

What I don’t understand is why the Capitol has windows that can be broken with flag poles, wooden doors that can be smashed in, a police force equipped like Mayberry, Indiana, and no internal security system to isolate intruders...

Biden is a liar. December 2020, 600 passed and sent out. Jan 4th 2021 GA rally, elect them as senators and we will send out 2k checks. Here we go again - say it Kelly Ann - WHAT HE MEANT WAS!

Suite Madame Blue Gaze in your looking glass You’re not a child any more

*Wide open & chauffeured in.

Who will hold China accountable for covid19 devastation. Who will protect the world?, who will save the world. We are in trouble, covid19, covid25, covid31. Who will secure the world?.

What are the chances this investigation overlaps with impeachment proceedings in the Senate?

This is not an intelligence failure. This is pure negligence. Don't paint it to intelligence. They knew ahead of time that this is coming.

There was no intelligence failure. The FBI warned of exactly this, anyone with a computer could have drawn the same conclusion. This was a security planning and decision making failure.
