The people involved in the insurrection came from out-of-state. They were planning an attack on the country's seat of government; somewhere in there is reaaonable suspicion of some sort of federal offense (hence the arrests after the fact). Arresting the people planning it was well within the FBI's jurisdiction. In this case, the FBI failed to carry out their national law enforcement duties. And the reason is likely related to why they didn't do what would have been necessary to prevent Waco, Ruby Ridge, and the OKC bombing, among other smaller scale tragedies involving separatist and often white supremacist groups.
