GARY PETERS: We found a number of troubling things as a result of our investigation that need to be rectified, and need to be rectified quickly. We saw that there was certainly a breakdown when it came to the intelligence services of both the Capitol Police as well as the broader intelligence services that should have put out a warning to local law enforcement as to the potential for violence on January 6.
