| Jan. 6 Bombshell: Schumer team received FBI intel about possible violence, frontline cops didn't | |
| 2022-06-11 | |
| [JustTheNews] FBI intelligence warning that Jan. 6 protesters might violently storm the Capitol, target lawmakers and blockade Democrats in tunnels was never sent to frontline police commanders and officers, but was quietly emailed the night before to a top aide to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, according to documents that raise new concern that politics trumped security preparedness in the fateful hours before the riot. Capitol Police Deputy Chief Sean Gallagher emailed top Schumer aide Kelly Fado, now the Senate's deputy sergeant of arms, at about 9:40 p.m. on Jan. 5, 2021 saying he wanted to "provide you visibility" to new intelligence that an FBI threat analysis center had received from a website owner, according to documents obtained by Just the News. The information explicitly warned that demonstrators had detailed maps of the tunnel systems around the Capitol frequented by lawmakers and their staffs and they were plotting to create a "perimeter" for potential violence and to find "Democratic members early to block them from entering the Capitol." One point of entry the rioters were targeting was the Library of Congress, he warned. "The owner of the website submitted an online tip to the FBI NTOC (National Threat Operations Center) stating that he has noticed a significant uptick in new visitors to his website," Gallagher wrote.
"Additionally," he said, "we have seen a huge uptick with reporting via open source of the groups intentions of forming a perimeter around the campus (indicated in image #5 above) from 0600-1000 hours in order to block all MOC's from getting inside our perimeter to the Buildings with spots identified for direct action." The Gallagher-Fado email is part of a tranche of documents obtained by Just the News from Capitol Police and congressional sources that show widespread security and intelligence lapses before Jan. 6. An internal after-action report by the Capitol Police Department identified 53 major failures, while the department's official timeline of the tragedy revealed the Trump Pentagon began offering Congress a deployment of National Guard troops on Jan. 2, 2021, four days before the tragedy, but it was turned down, first by police and later by aides to Pelosi and Schumer. | |

| #5 None of these a$$holes grandstanding this should ever have the words "The Peoples' House" pass their lips again, unless it's right before they hang. |

| #4 If everyone there took a 15 minute tour it would have been a 24 hour affair. Schumer? Thought this was a House affair. Anyways, better theater if they don't tell people. Maybe even have a shootout. |

| #3 Out of the thousands of people that went to the protest very few would have considered storming the Capitol. All of those few were instigators. It seems that the FBI intelligence gathering is limited to their own instigators and surveillance of innocent Americans that they disagree with. |
