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.

Astonishing...but not.
“FBI: Pipe bombs at RNC, DNC were planted night before riot”
The correct headline:
The weenie FBI baby-killers caught planting bombs and Nazi media covered it up
Exactly.
Inside job.
At this point, why should anyone believe anything the FBI says?
Believe none of it.
Who runs FBI really? CCP, domestic swamp creatures?
FBI does appear to be a domestic terrorist threat. No real control over the Fed police state.
Ted Cruz, probably.
“...discovered just before thousands of pro-Trump rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol,...”
Thousands?? I thought it was more like 150.
In DC you need to wait until evening to find a parking space.
Or they came by train and wanted them planted under cover of darkness, before their last train left for the night, leaving them stuck actually inside DC, not at a Georgetown pub ...
Probably planted by the FBI
For the umpteenth time, nobody can believe a damn thing the FBI says about anything anymore. They are now the Gestapo of the tyrannical junta that has taken over this country. Every damn one of them is a full-fledged Nazi Party member and should be shunned in every encounter.
Wasn’t there video of the guy placing them?
I guess I'm stupid too. I thought the cameras outside Jeffrey Epstein's cell might keep him safe.
Nanzi’s little coup is falling apart. Brick by brick.
They’ve got his name now but I forgot what it is...have to wait for the next round of news to hear it again.
The reward is a $100K.. someone will come forward...
MONEY TALKS...BIGLY, not just for politicians, but poor local people WHO know just who that ‘thing’ was...you know the thing!!
The pipe bombs were planted on the 5th of January... not in response to Trump’s Jan 6 speech obviously... but most likely in response to Trump’s Jan 5 memorandum restricting the entry of foreign agitators :

Antifa activists have brutally attacked our law-abiding friends, neighbors, and business owners, and destroyed historic landmarks that our communities have cherished for decades. This violence and lawlessness has no place in the United States and will be called out for the domestic terrorism that it is. Today, President Donald J. Trump signed a memorandum to ensure that Federal officials assess actions of Antifa activists in light of Federal laws that restrict the entry of aliens associated with terrorist organizations and aliens intent on criminal activity. President Trump will not allow Antifa, or any terrorist organization, to destroy our great country.

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Purpose. One of the fundamental purposes of our Government is to ensure the safety of our citizens. Consistent with the purpose of creating peaceful and prosperous communities, Federal law ensures immigration benefits may be granted only to those individuals who will follow the laws that govern all United States citizens. Accordingly, section 212(a)(3) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), 8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(3), renders inadmissible aliens who have engaged or who are likely to engage in terrorist activity and those aliens who seek entry into the United States to engage, principally or incidentally, in unlawful activity. Active membership in a criminal association is relevant to the determination of whether an applicant for a visa or other immigration benefit is seeking to enter the United States to engage in unlawful activity. Accordingly, law enforcement organizations, including the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security, should continue to provide the Department of State with current information appropriate for updating the list of criminal organizations in the Foreign Affairs Manual at 9 FAM 302.5-4(B)(2). This information should include assessments of whether aliens involved with such associations pose a threat to the safety of our communities.
In particular, reliable reporting suggests that the movement known as Antifa is directly or indirectly responsible for some of the recent lawlessness in our communities, and has exploited tragedies to advance a radical, leftist, anarchist, and often violent agenda. In fact, Antifa has long used otherwise permissible demonstrations to engage in lawless, criminal behavior to further its radical agenda.
