It's all conjecture for now, but I consider this a huge failing of the IC. Makes you wonder what they're actually focused on if it isn't protecting the American public.
EDIT: Maybe the more likely answer is politician(s) didn't listen.
I don’t wonder, because their actions have been making “the American public” less safe and more surveilled for decades. They are after the same thing all military intelligence services are after: power and control.
WTF are we spending all this money for military, which has their own suppliers, logistics etc if they can't help us.
Additionally our intelligence agencies should have been "blowing the whistle" when Trump downplayed the issue for 2 months.
