    I don't feel sorry for any going to jail. They saw cops being beat down, yet went on in anyway, with a bunch of people screaming to kill the Vice President. They can't justify being a part of that, conned by a loser or not.

    FBI, DHS downplayed intel ahead of Jan. 6: Senate panel
    by Julia Shapero
    06/27/23 10:21 AM ET

    The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) downplayed intelligence about potential violence ahead of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, according to a Senate Homeland Security Committee report released on Tuesday.

    The agencies received multiple tips and were aware of calls for violence online ahead of Jan. 6, 2021, but “failed to fully and accurately assess the severity of the threat identified by that intelligence," the report found.

    “Despite the high volume of tips and online traffic about the potential for violence … these agencies failed to sound the alarm and share critical intelligence information that could have helped law enforcement better prepare for the events of January 6th, 2021,” Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.) said in a press release.

    While the FBI communicated its intelligence to partner agencies informally, it downplayed the severity of the treat and did not issue "urgent warnings anticipating violence," according to the report.

    The Senate panel suggested that the bureau "failed to seriously consider the possibility that threatened actions would actually be carried out," dismissing "each individual threat as not credible in isolation" without fully considering "the totality of threats and violent rhetoric."

    Both DHS's Office of Intelligence and Analysis and the FBI also did not report concerning posts that were deemed non-credible threats, despite internal guidelines recommending otherwise, the report found.

    FBI employees “wrongly concluded” that they could not process certain online tips, even though bureau policy required all tips to be logged regardless of credibility.

    Analysts in the Office of Intelligence and Analysis similarly “wrongly believed” that they could not report concerning posts, despite agency guidelines to report non-credible threats that provide additional information about a known risk of violence.

    “My report shows there was a shocking failure of imagination from these intelligence agencies to take these threats seriously, and there is no question that their failures to effectively analyze and share the threat information contributed to the failures to prevent and respond to the horrific attack that unfolded at the Capitol,” Peters added.

    Now I'm curious about the exact nature of the threats. Folks like Tuck and "right leaning independents who didn't vote for Trump" still parrot that J6 was mostly a peaceful gathering.

    Like which is it? Where's the in-between that's a truth the right will accept?

    Sadly, I am afraid they will not accept it. They see it with their own eyes and still can't bring themselves to say the truth because their cult leaders won't allow it. Hell, my dad still thinks J6 was antifa disguised as maga suporters...............and my dad is a smart individual, if you met him he would not resemble the typical maga follower

    I've also seen claims that amounted to Pelosi ordering the Capitol Police to roll over during J6. "Hang Mike Pence" was a friendly gameday chant...

    It's just a circle of winding poop.

    I don't see Rudy flipping on Trump, if he thinks he has any chance to not be thrown in prison too. I found this article interesting, although I'm not getting my hopes up. Rudy's is die-hard Trump loyalist.

    Does Rudy Giuliani’s “Proffer” Mean He’s About to Flip Against Trump?

    Expanding on CNN’s reporting one day earlier, the New York Times on Wednesday reported that former Donald Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani was interviewed last week by investigators from Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office as part of “a proffer agreement.” While the Times was not specific about what Giuliani’s voluntary interview means, such proffer sessions are almost always the final step towards a plea deal. If one is consummated in Smith’s investigation of Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election—which were spearheaded by Giuliani—it would both be a deeply ironic end for one of the country’s most bulldog former prosecutors and also a devastating blow to the former president.

    I dont think he will flip but crazier things have happened, he is a lawyer and a sleezeball so he will try and play both sides of the fence but at some point he has to pick a side. He is very old and some seem to think he`s been on a bender for awhile so we shall see. Rudy was so awesome after 9-11 and has turned into the biggest ass kisser of trump and what's worse he tried to break the law to keep him in power......trump must have been giving him something to warrant that type of loyalty. 50/50 on pardons was probably the tip of the iceberg

    It really doesn't matter much -- I cannot imagine a less reliable witness for any side of any court case. The guy has really lost whatever marbles he had.

    True, unless he has actual proof that can be used against Trump.
