Barry Loudermilk, Chairman of the new House Republican-led Select Subcommittee on January 6, claims that key surveillance footage showing areas near the RNC and DNC where pipe bombs were placed the prior evening was not preserved.
Republican Rep. Loudermilk (GA-11) made the jaw-dropping accusation in a recent interview.
"There's still so many questions regarding this, because one of the things that has raised our eyebrows is as we go and we look for video on January 6th, because we want early morning video on January 6th to see, did anybody go back to these locations?" he said.
"Unfortunately, that video apparently doesn't exist anymore," he stated. "We do have the January 5th video, but we've been told that no one ever preserved January 6th."
"So that does raise our eyebrows a bit."
Loudermilk stops short of asserting that the surveillance videos outside both the RNC and DNC were intentionally deleted. But the gap in footage certainly raises many questions, especially when the FBI, before recent events, had identified over 39,000 video frames of the suspect, but had made no arrests.
That changed earlier this month with the arrest of a suspect, 30-year-old Brian Cole Jr., nearly five years after the incident.
Cole allegedly placed the pipe bombs outside both parties' committee headquarters on the night of January 5th. They were not discovered until around 1 p.m. the following day. So the footage in these locations might have provided a wealth of information. Did Cole return to the scene? What were people doing at these locations? Why did nobody see the devices until mid-afternoon the following day?
As to that last point, Loudermilk went on to explain that there are Capitol Police cameras that picked up footage of the "walking paths" the alleged wannabe bomber took that day. But no, in the areas that would seem critical, those clips are missing. Which is crucial because bomb-sniffing dogs and witnesses somehow missed the devices that day.
"None of the camera angles, like behind the RNC, behind the DNC, that we know of that exists today of where this person would have been, had the closest angles," he continued. "And so that has inhibited our investigation into this theory of maybe they were placed back out again."
39,000 video frames, and these, in the most vital locations from January 6th, are missing.
Loudermilk does offer vaguely plausible theories as to why the bombs might have been missed—the dog's handler might have been distracted when he hit on one device, a witness may not have seen the other device originally—but the fact that the videos apparently don't exist is quite a hindrance to finding out any information.
This also raises new questions that need to be looked into. Particularly, who removed these videos and why? Was it intentional and with a reasonable explanation, or did somebody go out of their way to suppress evidence? What happened to the chain of custody with these videos?
Cole was arrested at his family home and charged with transporting explosives across state lines with intent to kill, injure, or cause damage, and with attempted malicious destruction of property using explosive materials. Investigators reportedly linked him to the pipe bombs via credit card purchases, cellphone data, and surveillance efforts.
Cole made his initial court appearance on December 5th. He did not enter a plea and was ordered detained pending trial; his next court date is a detention hearing on December 15th.
As RedState has reported, Cole reportedly admitted to committing the crime.

The FBI is at it’s finest.
Must be the same person that destroyed the Epstein videos.
Why would the deep staters feel it was necessary to protect an autistic young man by destroying the video...unless he could be tied to them in some way. Or perhaps the deleted parts showed him meeting up with his handler? I can’t believe this was all his idea.
Yo milkie boy,you fulla chit Mon !
P
sniff sniff
something smells
It was a Fedsurrection
Didn’t the OLD J6 committee wipe delete everything they had as false evidence?
It was all part of their deep state ‘blob’ January 6th operation, their version of Kristallnacht to create confusion and fear and prevent any vote in the Senate from taking place to investigate the 2020 election results. Ultimately they just pulled the fire-alarm’ to prevent the vote.
The dementia carcass who barely left his basement received 82 million votes, which is far more than anyone else in USA history and even more than their rat ‘god’ Obama received.
Any unbiased review of these “results” would’ve easily uncovered the mountains of discrepancies visible in the background. They spent the next four years covering it up, deleting records and persecuting those who can see their treason and sedition.

Isn’t this in a movie where the bank safe is entered when at the time the video feed is cut? Deja vu.
“We didn’t need it, so we deleted it”.
The Deep State is alive and well and still trying to destroy this Republic.
Deleted....
Sure, that’s the ticket, it was just deleted in a Congressional investigation.
If Cole dies suspiciously soon, you know it’s a cover up death.
We are building enormous data centers all over the country, and actively taking steps to provide adequate energy to make sure these new data centers have power. That, of course, is for AI.
But how about a couple of Data Centers (widely separated for disaster recovery) which are mandated to hold all government information, email, texts, videotapes, payment records, etc? Make it illegal to ever “lose” or delete anything. Mandatory prison sentence if you lose stuff you are responsible for. Even the super-secret NSA/CIA stuff — store it securely, but store it.
And make ALL of it available for viewing by the White House without a warrant. Make it property of the Oval Office and no one can ever withhold anything. You don’t need courts or judges, you don’t need permission. The President and his staff should have access 24/7.
That is the sad truth.
It was not just Biden; it is not just the corrupted Dem party, they were and are not the principal target, they were and are just the cover.
Until the R's publicly declare the Deep State, aka the Anti-MAGA's, the principal targets, the nation's recovery will be in doubt.
There is very little room for compromise between cyanide and water.

Nooo kidding, does he really think so?
Such crafty sleuth, raising eyebrows and such.
