Senate report exposes intelligence and law enforcement failures leading up to Jan. 6 Capitol attack.

TL;DR Summary
The FBI and DHS failed to properly assess the severity of threats leading up to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and did not issue sufficient warnings based on available intelligence, according to a Senate Homeland Security Committee report. The agencies were faulted for downplaying known dangers, hesitating in their techniques based on past problems, and being averse to more widely sharing what was known. The report echoes previous findings on intelligence failures and highlights the need for better coordination and communication among agencies.
