As low as lying Trump agent.
How are we supposed to know. Is Trump temper tantrum prone?
Or is he the Stable Genius sent by your god to save America from them?
You've got to be kidding! Are you telling us that secret service agents are the ones responsible for NOT recognizing the possible threats on J** 6 when it is their job and duty to watch out for and recognize all the possible threats every day that they are protecting the POTUS and other high level government officials. The lack of communication by the FBI and DHS failed to give analysis of such threats.
https://www.npr.org/2021/01/13/956359496/why-didnt-the-fbi-and-dhs-produce-a-threat-report-ahead-of-the-capitol-insurrectExcerpts:> The NYPD sent the information to Washington under the assumption it would be folded into a formal intelligence bulletin by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security. The FBI's version is known as a joint intelligence bulletin. The DHS produces a threat assessment. These reports are typically written as a matter of course ahead of high-profile events. Local law enforcement officials see them as actionable intelligence — an early warning system to help them prepare for incoming threats.
And yet, for last week's deadly attack on the Capitol, an event the president himself had promised would be "wild," no formal report was ever released.
A spokesperson from DHS' Office of Intelligence and Analysis confirmed to NPR that the agency didn't produce any threat assessment about the possibility of violence on J*** 6. The FBI confirmed it didn't produce one either. Instead, DHS provided a report about the "heightened threat environment during the 2020-2021 e******n season, including the extent to which the political t***sition and political polarization are contributing to the mobilization of individuals to commit violence," the DHS spokesperson said.
Some FBI officials have said that the bureau and DHS didn't produce a bulletin for J*** 6 out of concern that doing so might run afoul of First Amendment free speech protections that allow people to protest and assemble peacefully.
But three law enforcement officials told NPR that this didn't stop DHS and the FBI from issuing intelligence bulletins ahead of mostly peaceful demonstrations in Portland, Ore., after the k*****g of G****e F***d last May, before Black L***s M****r marches in Washington in early June or in anticipation of an annual convention of the Islamic Society of North America.
Given all the Sturm und Drang ahead of the J*** 6 joint session of Congress to count the e*******l v**es and given all the threats on social media weeks ahead of a pro-Trump rally that morning, it struck Sena and other local law enforcement officials who spoke to NPR as strange that there wasn't a DHS-FBI report on what to expect. Threatening and planning violence aren't protected First Amendment speech.
NPR spoke with three FBI special agents in charge around the country and four current and former DHS officials who all agreed that J*** 6 was a fast-moving event that was hard to anticipate. But they also said a specific threat assessment from the FBI and DHS in the weeks before might well have persuaded C*****l P****e and others to beef up security.
