FBI missed 'basic step' when gathering intel in the lead-up to Jan. 6, DOJ watchdog finds

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

40% : "While more than 1,500 people have been charged in connection with the Capitol attack, there are thousands of others who were either inside the building or on the restricted grounds of the Capitol who will likely never face charges with just over a month remaining before Trump takes office.
31% : The inspector general's report focuses on events that happened four years ago, in late 2020 and early 2021, at a time when Trump was working to overturn his election loss.
27% : The report also includes details that will almost certainly fuel the "fedsurrection" narrative that has been growing on the right and amongst Donald Trump supporters: The false notion that the federal government was responsible for instigating the attack.
20% : A federal grand jury ultimately indicted Trump on four felony charges in connection with that effort, but Trump was able to successfully delay the trial, and Smith moved to drop the charges after Trump's 2024 win.
