Conclusions in the J6C report show that members of the Pentagon, FBI, Secret Service and CIA of having been involved or at least aware of the plot to overthrow the capitol and did not respond or actively conspired to allow it to take place.
At least two top Pentagon officials were called to request they send military to protect the capitol when the attacks started but they refused and instead sent additional police to protect the generals homes in DC.
We know from the convictions of the Oath Keepers that the FBI had infiltrated that group and had an agent in the group that was aware of their plot but it appears nothing was done to stop the planned attacks. That happened on Barr's watch.
We know that a "former" CIA operative that was part of some group that mapped out potential CIA scenarios for how the US government could be overthrown and passed a plan on to Tario and the Proud Boys in a thumb drive. There was rumors before the attack that Tario was working for the FBI in a deal he made on other charges.
We know that Pence did not trust the secret service and they lied about Trump trying to go to the capitol and then deleted all their communications. Biden has said he didn't trust his own SS because they are all southern white conservatives that were former cops.
Everything points to a serious problem in these departments that appear to have been infiltrated by far right extremists and coordinated with Trump's team or on their own to facilitate the coup and attacks on the capitol.
Garland has apparently flushed out and forced several members of the DOJ/FBI to resign or be fired but the Pentagon, CIA and Secret Service have their own chain of command and we don't know if they have investigated and cleaned out their ranks of these extremists.
There is no doubt, that given the opportunity that they will do it again. Special Prosecutor Smith certainly has his work cut out for him.
