NEW: The newly released bipartisan report on the 1/6 insurrection from the Senate is out and it found sweeping failures, multiple errors made by govt officials & law enforcement in the run up to the siege. Lack of prep and training for cops underlined throughout.

US Cap Police respond to the report:
"Neither the USCP, nor the FBI, U.S. Secret Service, Metropolitan Police or our other law enforcement partners knew thousands of rioters were planning to attack the U.S. Capitol. The known intelligence simply didn’t support that conclusion."
"Neither the USCP, nor the FBI, U.S. Secret Service, Metropolitan Police or our other law enforcement partners knew thousands of rioters were planning to attack the U.S. Capitol. The known intelligence simply didn’t support that conclusion."
USCP maintains it didn't have credible intel indicating people would attack the U.S. Capitol on 1/6.
In May USCP's inspector general said cops had inadequate intelligence, outdated ops too.
But, again, this was what was circulating in the run-up: courthousenews.com/u-s-capitol-po…

"Neither the FBI nor DHS deemed online posts calling for violence at the Capitol as credible."

STORY: Omissions in intelligence, lackluster security planning & botched leadership failed to prevent the deadly attack on the Capitol, two Senate committees found in what could very well be lawmakers’ last bipartisan effort to probe the events of Jan. 6.

Over two dozen recommendations are found in Tuesday’s report, including a call for a new chief of Capitol Police. Senators also recommend formal procedures be established to communicate external intelligence reports to the appropriate commanders.

Riot gear — a lot of which shattered on impact during the siege — must also be kept in good shape and inventoried. It was also recommended that munitions finally be subject to a check-in, check-out log.

Intelligence priority reports are also suggested quarterly and the director of the Capitol Police’s intelligence division should develop an “action plan” within 45 days for the Senate on intelligence collection, processing and dissemination methods.
