From the NY Times today (stating the obvious): "Poor planning and communication among a constellation of federal, state and local law enforcement agencies hamstrung the response to the rioting. Once the Capitol building was breached, a patchwork group of reinforcements was forced to try to navigate a labyrinthine complex of unfamiliar passages and byways that would prove dangerous."
How many times have we seen this through the years? These bureaucracies not talking to one another, turf battles over control, patchwork organization, no coordination, in-fighting.
It's why, for one reason, these JFK conspiracy theories about multiple agencies conspiring to kill JFK, frame an innocent person, engineer a fake investigation and then cover all of this up make no sense on so many levels. They simply can't pull it off in secret. Too many people, too many obstacles, too much bureaucratic independence.....It can't be done AND then kept secret for decades. And frankly, for me JFK simply wasn't the supposed threat to "them" that conspiracists think. There was no need, if you will, to remove him.
Very good point. They can’t even form a conspiracy to protect the Capitol.
Get everyone to agree to beef up security at the Capitol because of a very obvious threat that the President has been talking about for weeks? No. Bad optics. Get everyone on board to kill the President? Sure, no problem.

In 1963:
Dallas mayor and police on board? No. Bad optics. Needs to be a different city.
FBI on board? No. Bad optics. Needs to setup someone the FBI has not been investigating.
