Failures at multiple levels with multiple law enforcement agencies.

One last burst of incompetence by the Trump admin.

smartphone pinging the cell towers. If you are a real estate agent from Dallas and your phone is pinging one of the Capitol’s towers on 1/6/2021 then you should be questioned. Make a list and work it. They know what to do.
