While I think the demands for th resignations of the various Capitol officials involved were warranted, I suspect that it will turn out that reliance on the FBI intelligence assessment that there was no indication that anything other than First Amendment protected activities were likely played a significant role in this and the other preparation failures.
I'm guessing it's going to be more complicated than that. One thing I think I learned during the Trump presidency is that the federal bureaucracy will leak nuggets of information that make them look good or paint the story that they want. But when the full facts and truth of a given situation come out it tends to be far more complicated than far less clear cut than what the initial leaks seem to paint.
