Jan. 6 committee ignored law enforcement failures in order to blame Trump
...
"The January 6 Committee's final report was more than 800 pages, but some material did not make the cut, including much of its findings on the failures of federal law enforcement leading up to the attack," Holt admitted.
"The images of the attack on the capitol stunned America and the world. And tonight, in an exclusive interview, the chief investigator of the January 6 Committee says the government could have prevented it," Dilanian reported before turning to Heaphy to ask "had law enforcement agencies acted on the available intelligence, do you believe the attack on the capitol could have been could have been successfully repelled?"

Heaphy responded: "I think it would have been a lot different had law enforcement taken a more assertive protective posture. The Intel in advance was pretty specific, and it was enough in our view for law enforcement to have done a better job operationalizing a secure perimeter."
"Law enforcement had a very direct role in contributing to surely the failures—the security failures that led to the violence," Heaphy added.
Dilanian revealed how "people familiar with the committee’s work tell NBC News members downplayed that finding because they wanted to keep the focus on former President Trump. Committee members dispute that."
That admission was followed by Dilanian reporting how "Heaphy says the committee found the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and other agencies did not act on the intelligence they had, including this online threat forwarded to capitol police January 5, calling for thousands to go to Washington and help storm the capitol."
Yet, according to Dilanian, "the FBI said it sent all the intelligence it had to the capitol police. DHS and capitol police say they've taken steps to make sure threat intelligence is better analyzed and shared."

The January 6 committee was put together by Pelosi with what looks like a group of Democrat hostile to Trump with a couple of Repuiblicans who were also hostile to Trump. They were not interested in facts inconsistent with their anti-Trump agenda.
