WASHINGTON -- Two pipe bombs left at the offices of the Republican and Democratic national committees, discovered just before thousands of pro-Trump rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol, were actually placed the night before, federal officials said Friday.
The FBI said the investigation had revealed new information, including that the explosive devices were placed outside the two buildings between 7:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. on Jan. 5, the night before the riot. The devices were not located by law enforcement until the next day.
It is not clear whether that means the pipe bombs were unrelated to the next day’s riot or were part of the riot planning. Both buildings are within a few blocks of the Capitol.
The incident has been particularly concerning for law enforcement as officials step up security preparations ahead of the Senate’s impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump. For weeks, investigators have been worried about the potential for attacks on soft targets in the nation’s capital.
U.S. Capitol Police and agents from the FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were called to the Republican National Committee’s office around 12:45 p.m. on Jan. 6. About 30 minutes later, as the agents and bomb technicians were still investigating at the RNC, another call came in for a second, similar explosive device found at the Democratic National Committee headquarters nearby.

I wonder what the “new information” is that makes them think this?
Call me stupid but it sure seems there would be camera systems at both of these facilities especially in DC!!!
First I’ve heard of any pipe bombs.
But I'm sure the FBI didn't have anything to do with it.
They probably know that because they planted them......
Who plants pipe bombs early in the evening? Wouldn’t it be better in the middle of the night?
Yes, it seems likely they would have cameras, especially after a summer of rioting nationwide.
Probably planted by the FBI
Randy Weaver did it.
This report reeks like a 4 day old homicide scene.
Thousands stormed the Capitol Building? When did that happen?
I thought the FBI were looking for 200 - 400 People, mostly the ones who just wandered into the Building after the Cops opened the Doors.
You know, the same blood thirsty Insurrectionists who stood between the Velvet Ropes and took Selfies and pictures of the Statuary.
Of course we are dealing with the Media who said POTUS Trump was not only worse than Nixon, he was worse than Hitler.
How long before the Thousands of Criminals mantra is inflated to the Tens of Thousands?
“I wonder what the “new information” is that makes them think this?
“
Comey and Brennan just filed their expense account reports for that night?
Thousands? I thought it was more like 50, but I don't really know.
Well executed false flag op...
It’s been over 3 weeks so why haven’t they arrested the bad guys? Unless, they were Pelosi and Biden.
Yeah, I’ve heard of them. Were discovered just before the disturbance. Probably Antifa.
It was all over the jacka$$ networks propaganda snewz shows.
