Capitol rioters came ‘prepared for WAR’ – but there was ‘NO FBI warning about coordinated’ attack, police chief says
CAPITOL rioters reportedly came “prepared for war,” but there was no FBI warning about the coordinated attack, the police chief said.
Testifying publicly for the first time about the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol, former security officials say that bad intelligence was to blame for the disastrous failure to anticipate the violent intentions of the mob.
They say that left them unprepared for the attack that was unlike anything they had ever seen before.
The officials, including the former chief of the Capitol Police, are blaming other federal agencies — and each other — for their failure to defend the building.
Former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund described a scene that was “like nothing” he had seen in his 30 years of policing.
“When the group arrived at the perimeter, they did not act like any group of protestors I had ever seen,” the ousted chief said, arguing that the insurrection was not the result of poor planning but of failures across the board from many agencies.
