With the end of the House Investigation of the events on Jan 6th and what let up to them, it is noticeable that there is basically no mentioning of the glaring failure of domestic intelligence gathering services to correctly assess the threat and pre-empt it.
The comparison has been made to the failure of US foreign intelligence to determine that there were no WMDs in Iraq.
It seems to me that the FBI indeed failed colossally, and for the very same reasons the CIA failed in Iraq: because it was expedient and conformed to the policies of a (Republican) administration to reach a very specific Result.
Furthermore, I think that the members of the Committee think so, too, but they also remember how the purge of the CIA after the WMD debacle has kneecapped the agency to this day; maybe Heads at the FBI have made promises to take right-wing terrorism and threats encouraged by political leaderships more seriously in return for not getting a public shellacking in the final committee report that would seriously hamper their ability to operate going forward.
