Senior US army officials testified: lack of lead federal agency with integrated security plan cost protection of Capitol on #January6th.
Where was Department of Justice, which would presumably be that lead agency?
Watch testimony of Generals Charles Flynn and Piatt

4/4. The lack of clarity about whether and how clearly DOJ was assigned as lead federal agency was part of joint Senate Report.
