oops! Will the freaks share this with their sucked gruber friends? US intelligence knew MAGA fans were planning Jan 6 'war' for WEEKS but did nothing to protect Capitol cops: Senate releases riot report that claims three cops 'lost their lives', doesn't mention Trump's role or call it an insurrection Daily Mail (UK), by Lauren Lewis Original Article Capitol Police and intelligence agencies including the FBI knew Trump supporters were threatening to storm the Capitol and wanted to target Democrat lawmakers weeks before January 6, but didn't act, a bipartisan Senate Report has revealed.Law enforcement was aware of a plot to breach the Capitol, that maps of the building's tunnel system had been shared online, and that supporters were planning to bring guns to D.C., but failed to act or share information with uniformed cops.
