MSM Stories About January 6 Pipe Bomber Skip Incredibly Obvious Question

On January 6, the media was chock full of stories about the events at Capitol Hill on the day of the riot. One potentially big event that could have overshadowed what happened at the Capitol building was a couple of pipe bombs planted near the Democratic National Committee and the Republican National Committee buildings. Fortunately neither bomb went off, but the mystery remains of who was the pipe bomber that still remains at large.

Because of the January 6 anniversary, several media outlets were speculating about the mystery of who the pipe bomber was and why the FBI has not found him despite conducting an intensive investigation. You can see stories about the investigation into the pipe bomber suspect at such sources as CBS News, the Associated Press (via PBS), and The Atlantic.

One thing the stories all have in common is what appears to be a lack of curiosity why the FBI hasn't used a very common investigative technique to identify the bomber. An example of this mysterious lack of curiosity was displayed by Atlantic writer Elaine Godfrey in her Thursday story, "The Capitol Hill Bomber Is Still At Large."

Perhaps he was not stupid enough to bring his cell phone.

Perhaps, because we don't know and the media is not asking. If they did ask you all ready know the answer...

"We can't comment on an ongoing investigation."

Let’s cut to the chase - they know who the pipe bomber is. They won’t identify him because that would open him up to discovery by everyone behind bars. Then we would know the truth and Jan 6 WOULD be a date to remember - an inside Fedsurrection by our own Gov’t.

What good are all of the “stingray” devices being used by Homeland Security and FSA collecting data everywhere?

"Well, it is beginning to look like the FBI IS involved in the entire incident."

That seems highly probable. We have Ray Epps, Stewart Rhodes, "scaffold man," the fence cutter, the man with the crowbar smashing the Capitol window, and several other prominent players on that day - ALL unindicted. I can't think of any other explanation than that they are federal agents and/or informants.

Think back to Chuck Schumer in 2017, when the Deep State was already mobilized against Trump: "Our intelligence agencies have six ways from Sunday to get back at their critics." He said this with an approving smirk, not a sense of alarm, indicating his firm belief that his side was safe from any such retaliation.

why the FBI hasn't used a very common investigative technique to identify the bomber.

Hey, cut the G-Men some slack - between laying the groundwork for fake, unfounded charges against Trump in case he runs in '24, spying on Americans and being the private Dem gestapo, their plate is full! Besides, the would-be bomber is probably one of their own working for Nanzi Pelosi.

There’s a whole lot of missing information here. Reports indicate that the pipe bombs were conveniently ‘found’ just prior to when the fences and barriers were removed from the pathway to the Capitol. This diverted Capitol police from stopping the removals. How were they found? Who found them? How could pipe bombs in two different locations be found at the same time? How were they intended to be detonated? Was it a likely traceable electronic device?

Real reporters would be finding the answers to questions like these.

The FBI arrested over 700 innocent people yet cannot locate a person on camera that was planting what we were told was a bomb. You know they were tracked by multiple cameras all the way to their car if the FBI wanted to catch them. Or they could have just said “Hi Bob” when he came to the office at the FBI building where he works.

not being able to remove the battery, it still pings local towers...

Not saying that old phones did in fact ping local towers without their battery, but there was nothing preventing it.

Certain electrolytic capacitors can be can be charged, as if they were an internal battery, while charged and/or plugged into the charger. Then, yank the battery, and the phone could still do the deed.

Now, they may have or they may not have. Be aware that a transmitting phone takes up lots of power.

I worked on a device about 20 years ago that when it lossed ALL power, could transmit for hours. Of course, it was specifically designed to do so, and the enabling capacitors were quite large.
