deepening security questionsAround 7 p.m. on Jan. 5, less than 24 hours before an angry mob overran the U.S. Capitol, an FBI bulletin warning that extremists were calling for violent attacks on Congress landed in an email inbox used by the D.C. police Department. That same evening, a member of the Capitol Police received the same memo.
But the alert was not flagged for top officials at either agency, according to congressional testimony Tuesday deepening questions about the breakdowns that contributed to massive security failures on Jan. 6.
Both acting D.C. police chief Robert J. Contee III and former Capitol Police chief Steven Sund said the intelligence community at large failed to detect key information about the intentions of the attackers and adequately communicate what was known in the run-up to the Capitol riot.
I would certainly think that something as violent as an insurrection at the Capitol would warrant a phone call or something, Contee told lawmakers.

In case the FBI was wrong, nobody noticed. If the FBI was correct - hey we sent you a notice.

Well, there was A report.
Still, really, they shouldnt have needed intel on this. Is was very clear that at least some of these people were going all in. Many people were openly discussing it.

... had to cover their butts cause something heavy was about to go down so they threw raw intel to someone's CP email address as if the CP have analyst to gather a threat assessment like the DHS and FBI do.
