Contributing sentiments towards policy:

47% : Often, the FBI dismissed the tips after a cursory review, according to the report, which offered insight into how many of the warnings came from concerned citizens or people who knew Trump supporters who were planning or had begun travel to D.C.
36% : In addition, the report says U.S. Capitol Police did not inform FBI officials of its assessment that Trump supporters coming to Washington on Jan. 6 were targeting Congress.
30% : The FBI is bracing for a potentially significant transition, with Trump returning to office and pledging to nominate a loyalist who has been deeply critical of the bureau to lead it.
15% : Some 140 law enforcement officers were assaulted as a mob stormed the building to try to stop lawmakers from certifying Joe Biden's 2020 election victory over Trump, and at least five deaths were linked in some way to the violence.
