Abstract
The U.S. Capitol’s last breach was more than 200 years ago in August 1814 by invading British troops who set fire to the building and other landmarks during the raging war of 1812 (1). At the FBI Citizens Academy on February 23, 2021, I asked the FBI about the January 6 Capitol riot organized on social media that led to the unprecedented ban of a sitting U.S. President by all major social networks. I questioned, “According to The Washington Post, an FBI office in Norfolk, Virginia, issued a warning on January 5th that extremists were preparing to travel to Washington to commit violence and ‘war.’ Now according to fbi.gov, there are more than 830 special agents in the Washington D.C. field office. What could FBI have done in response to the Capitol riot during the four-hour insurrection on January 6th?”
