The head-smacking bureaucratic snafu that left the FBI flying blind in the lead up to Jan. 6 was happening on this very day four years ago, and honestly it was dumber than you probably imagined.

Some of you who have worked in newsrooms might be familiar with Dataminr, the social media alerts and monitoring tool.
