On Tuesday, NBC host Lester Holt claimed that federal law enforcement did not do enough to combat the peaceful protests that took place at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021, Fox News reports. NBC then spoke to Tim Heaphy, the former lead investigator for the controversial and highly politicized January 6 Committee, who claimed that the government failed to act on intelligence they allegedly had received ahead of the protest.
Law enforcement could have taken a more proactive stance
- The intel in advance was specific and could have been enough for law enforcement to have done a better job operationalizing a secure perimeter
The January 6th Committee
- The committee found the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and other agencies did not act on the intelligence they had
- However, members downplayed the finding because they wanted to keep the focus on former President Trump
- They had partisan goals in mind
- Only two Republicans were seated on the committee, both staunch NeverTrumpers
