5:29Now PlayingNew emails have revealed that the Secret Service shared information with the Capitol Police about potential violence from Trump supporters on January 6th. The only problem is that this warning came just one day before the Capitol Riot, on January 5th. This was hardly enough time for the police to properly prepare, but it gives us a good picture of the complete breakdown in communications at the highest levels. Farron Cousins discusses this.

New emails from the United States. Secret service revealed that the secret service did in fact, give Capitol police Warning that Trump's supporters Could become violent against them on January 6th, which of course was the day of the Capitol riot. However, these emails show that the secret service gave the Capitol police, this information On January 5th, one day before the actual capital riot. So basically, oh boy, by the way, tomorrow,
Who could basically be in danger from all of these angry Trump supporter. So, you know, be on the lookout for that. And, and they based this upon threats, they had seen threats, I guess they had received and then send it over to Capitol police again the day before the riot saying, oh yeah, by the way, some of these people have made a threats and of course the Capitol police then took that information and they issued the bolos Be on the lookout for
The individual specifically who had made those threats. But the Capitol police say they had no way of knowing there was going to be that much violence from that many people, this story as reported by Politico as reported by many others at this point is basically trying to say, Hey, Capitol police had warning and they didn't do a good enough to, I mean, sure. But at the same time they had one day's notice
One day, assume I told you that, oh, by the way, tomorrow where you live your house, uh,
Is going to be hit by a category two hurricane
Good luck.
Somebody who lives, you know, right along the Gulf coast, we're familiar with hurricanes. That's why I use it as an example, 24 hours is not enough notice to be able to prepare your house for a hurricane,
Let alone prepare the United States Capitol
For these kinds of threats that, you know, we really haven't seen in our lifetime at least.
So yes, the
Capitol police did have advance warning at this point, but
A day
I want more answers from this. I want to know when the secret service knew, because I think that's a very important missing piece of this puzzle, right? How long did the secret service sit on this information? How long were they going through doing all their work? And then suddenly somebody realized, oh crap, we got to let them know. That's what I want to do. Yeah. That's what I have not been able to find in these stories. Maybe, you know, by the time you're watching this, maybe that information has come out. If the secret service just learned about it that day and immediately warn the Capitol police. Okay. They did their due diligence, but at the same time, what of the FBI? Because the FBI had already been arresting some of the individuals days before, before January 5th, certainly before January 6th, when they arrived in DC, because of threats, they had made online about violence on January 6th, the Capitol police did the best they could with what they had. The secret service, I guess, did the best they could with what they had. I think the failure goes all the way up to the FBI. The FBI did not properly based
On what we know so far inform
These other agencies of what was taking place and the real threat of violence. Hell Mo Brooke shows up at the event, the stop, the steal rally we're in a fricking Bulletproof vests.
So even he knew there was
Going to be some bad things happening that day, or at least the potential for bad things to happen that day.
We've barely. Now
I can't even say barely. We have not even scratched the surface about the intelligence failures of that day, about who knew what, and that includes people like Mo Brooks. There are far more questions than answers at this point. And the January six committee. I know they had that one big hearing with all the, you know, police officers telling their horrible stories of what happened to them that day. And it was truly horrendous to hear that.
