Wash. Post Report Claims There Were Multiple Warnings Before Jan. 6

‘Blinking red lights’ were ignored

Nationwide — An extensive piece by The Washington Post about the security failures in the run-up to Jan. 6 has raised some troubling questions.

According to the report, which featured the work of about 75 reporters, security officials said that the warning signs were “blinking red” before the Capitol attack. But much like 9/11, senior officials in the Trump administration refused to act.

The question is, why? The Washington Post piece doesn’t answer that question.

However, the articles say there was plenty of warning that Trump supporters intended to come to Washington DC and inflict violence.

“For days, as the head of intelligence at D.C.’s homeland security office, (Donell) Harvin led a team that spotted warnings that extremists planned to descend on the Capitol and disrupt the electoral count and his team had spotted increasing signs that supporters of President Donald Trump were planning violence when Congress met to formalize the electoral college vote, but federal law enforcement agencies did not seem to share his sense of urgency,” said The Post.
