Instead of trying to understand how to make sure the FBI can make sure it is prepared for domestic extremist violence in the future, some congressional Republicans have downplayed the insurrection, protested the pretrial detention of some Jan. If Republicans take back the House in the midterms, as many analysts expect, oversight could very quickly flip from examining FBI shortcomings to investigating alleged law enforcement overreach against those who stormed the Capitol on Trump's behalf. There’s a limited time frame to help call attention to the need to fix the intelligence failures. But a new FBI statement to NBC News indicated the bureau had “increased our focus on swift information sharing” and “improved automated systems established to assist investigators and analysts” since Jan. 6, and noted in the past that it took some actions to discourage extremists from traveling to D.C. The FBI has been generally defensive about its preparations ahead of Jan. But this was a mob Donald Trump sent to the Capitol, and I think that’s important to keep our eye on.” “Clearly there were intelligence failures, clearly the security should have operated better than it did. is blame the Capitol Police, blame those in law enforcement, for Donald Trump’s armed mob that he sent to the Capitol,” Cheney said. Liz Cheney said in an interview on Fox News last Sunday that the blue team’s work would be featured in the committee’s final report and would "likely" be included in upcoming hearings. The "blue team," a separate source told NBC News, is headed by Soumya Dayananda, who spent more than a decade as a federal prosecutor - and worked the case against Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmán - before joining the committee. "The team is looking into what intelligence these agencies had at their disposal how that intelligence was analyzed, stitched together, and distributed and whether law enforcement operationalized that intelligence.” “The team has conducted more than 100 interviews and depositions touching on these matters of security and intelligence across several federal and local agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of Homeland Security, Fusion Centers, Office of Intelligence & Analysis, among others," the aide said. A committee aide told NBC News last week that this team of investigators is singularly focused on the preparedness of and response by law enforcement, intelligence agencies and the military.
