A former high-ranking Capitol Police official with knowledge of the department’s response to the Jan. 6 attack has sent congressional leaders a scathing letter accusing two of its senior leaders of mishandling intelligence and failing to respond properly during the riot.

The whistleblower, who requested anonymity for privacy reasons and left the force months after the attack, sent the 16-page letter late last month to the top members of both parties in the House and Senate. His missive makes scorching allegations against Sean Gallagher, the Capitol Police’s acting chief of uniformed operations, and Yogananda Pittman, its assistant chief of police for protective and intelligence operations — who also served as its former acting chief.

The whistleblower accuses Gallagher and Pittman of deliberately choosing not to help officers under attack on Jan. 6 and alleges that Pittman lied to Congress about an intelligence report Capitol Police received before that day’s riot. After a lengthy career in the department, the whistleblower was a senior official on duty on Jan. 6.

The whistleblower’s criticism went beyond Capitol Police leaders to Congress. Without naming specific lawmakers, his letter accuses congressional leaders of having “purposefully failed” to tell the truth about the department’s failures.

5. Yes sir...piece by piece it is all coming together...also at the FBI and AGs.

3. Why not give the whole story? Why hold the names of the congress people who lied?

I don't get...I am going to tell you, part of what happened on January 6th, but not all...OK?

What use is it if the guy only provides 50% of the story? What is wrong with these people, why do they have to protect criminals? I really don't get it, and I do try to understand, but I fail every time.

11. IMHO, our greatest fear should be

HOW MANY Trumphumpers STILL REMAIN in Local Police, National Guard, State Police, FBI, DOJ, etc etc etc
And especially the numbers in our military troops and especially their commanders/officers.

It would be interesting to hear some of the Intelligence Agency info they are gathering, but then again, maybe we wouldn't really want to know......

12. Sadly, it will come down to that. How many want to defend that "Goddam piece of paper." (Bush quote)

10. The leadership of all 1/6 police agencies deserve the microscope.

And those who were fired or quit 1/7, get them before a Grand Jury.
