The report reveals significant shortcomings in intelligence management and coordination, raising questions about the FBI’s readiness and oversight during the events surrounding that day.
Horowitz’s investigation scrutinized the FBI’s deployment of confidential informants leading up to and during January 6,uncovering that 26 such sources were present at the Capitol—far more than the three officially assigned to monitor events.
Four entered the Capitol building.Thirteen entered restricted areas outside the Capitol.
The report confirms that none of these sources were prosecuted, nor were they authorized by the FBI to commit or incite unlawful actions.
There is no evidence that informants played leadership roles in organizing the day’s events or directly incited violence.
