This story has been making the rounds again in the wake of the third anniversary of the Capitol Hill riot, so we may as well take a look at it. It’s either one of the craziest conspiracy theories of the modern era or a scandalous indictment of our federal law enforcement system. As almost everyone surely knows by now, some person or persons planted pipe bombs outside of both the RNC and DNC headquarters in Washington the night before the riot. Yet three years later, no arrests have been made and no suspects have been identified. The story attracted renewed interest after Tucker Carlson featured an interview with someone suggesting that the entire thing was an inside job, perhaps pulled off by the FBI or other government officials. That sounds like something ripped from the pages of a cut-rate conspiracy fantasy novel, or at least it would in a more normal world. But as Matt Margolis points out at PJ Media, other, more plausible explanations for the government’s failure to identify a suspect are few and far between.
If you were anywhere near the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, the federal government has been able to figure that out. In fact, the Biden Administration recently announced it wasn’t just going to limit its aggressive prosecution and denial of due process rights to those who entered the Capitol Building peacefully, but even those who stayed outside…
Yet, with all the technology they have to identify any random person who was anywhere near the Capitol that day, one big mystery remains: who planted pipe bombs at RNC and DNC headquarters the day before?
They have surveillance footage of a suspect. And yet, three years later, the FBI has managed to track down every nonviolent observer and elderly grandmother who was in town that day, but not this suspect. The FBI’s handling of this particular aspect of their J6 investigation has been suspicious, to say the least, and the agency has failed to comply with requests from Congress for more information about it.
To be clear, the FBI hasn’t been entirely silent about the case. They claim that it remains a top priority for them and they have been working diligently on solving it. They even put up a half-million dollar reward for any information leading to the arrest of the bomber. Yet nothing has come of these alleged efforts. CBS published a retrospective of what is and isn’t known about the incident on the anniversary of the riot. (It’s definitely worth a look if you want to catch up on the details.) But Tucker Carlson raised some valid questions and there is so much about the attempted attack that simply makes no sense whether you believe it was an inside job or some random maniac seeking to cause mayhem and death.
...
If you haven’t watched the Tucker Carlson interview I linked above, you really should. An originally unidentified man wearing a backpack approaches two vehicles parked adjacent to the DNC headquarters shortly after 1 pm on January 6. One vehicle belongs to the Capitol Hill Police (CHP) and the other contains Secret Service agents. The man (who we later learned was a CHP officer who was either off-duty or undercover) informs both the CHP and the Secret Service that there is a bomb planted a very short distance from them under the bench outside of the DNC. Their response seems to be complete apathy. It takes a few minutes for them to get out of their cars. They allow a group of children to cross at the intersection and walk within feet of the bomb. Another officer shows up and comes within feet of the bomb to take a picture of it. Only later is a robot summoned to remove and/or defuse the bomb. And all of this was happening when VP-elect Kamala Harris was scheduled to arrive.
If you were the CHP or the Secret Service and a law enforcement official informed you that there was a bomb only feet away from you, wouldn’t you immediately cordon off the entire area and call for more backup? Would you allow schoolchildren to stroll past the bomb? Shouldn’t there have been some sense of urgency?
Then there is the question of the bombs themselves. The FBI claims that they were “viable” and not fake, posing a “danger to the public.” But the only detonating mechanism they discovered was a 60-minute kitchen timer. There was no remote detonation mechanism installed allowing for a cellphone or other device to set them off at a distance. To be fair, perhaps that means that the design was flawed. But the bombs were planted the night before. We know the time because they have a suspect on video who is believed to have planted them. And what did they hope to accomplish by blowing up a park bench near the street? Wouldn’t they at least have attached them to the building somehow?
...
What was the motive of the bomber? If it was some crazed Trump supporter who was angry over a stolen election, we might understand wanting to blow up the DNC. Buy why bomb the RNC as well? You might be tempted to think that a second bomber aligned with the Democrats was involved, but would two people create virtually identical bombs with the same flaws making them nonfunctional, and place them in two locations within minutes of each other? That’s simply nonsensical.
None of this adds up. The newly released video is damning, at least in my opinion. If that was a real attempt at a bombing, the response from the CHP and the Secret Service should have been immediate and overwhelming. If law enforcement has a better explanation, they aren’t telling the public what it is. Something stinks to high heaven here and the House GOP has one more huge item on their plate to investigate now.
There was an astonishing lack of follow-up, or effort to find the alleged bombers.
They knew who planted the fake bomb - themselves.
I’ve read there is something weird about the cell phone data related to the person that planted the bomb by the DNC Headquarters.
That the data is corrupted making it impossible to get the phone number.
It was plan B if the FIBs in the crowd, the crapitol police, and their antifa allies didn’t have luck stirring up violence and panic in the main crowd. No doubt the FIBs would have detonated those to fram Trump and Trump supporters. Bonus points if they could have done it when Kamala or Pence were at the respective locations.
Why would there be any possible doubt?
I suppose anybody that asks that question would also raise doubts that the japs bombed Pearl Harbor or that the moslems flew planes into the towers...
Yes.
If the video is authentic,it’s disgusting.
Do they have video of this person actually planting the "bombs", or are they just assuming this? My guess is the latter given how sketchy everything related to J6 has been shown to be.
I would be that in order to maintain “plausible deniability” that they had someone else do it for them. They knew they weren’t dangerous and were just props.
Does a Fat Dog flatulate?
Does a Bear poop in the woods?
The DNC is planning to steal the next election.
Their success in 2020 was just an initial use of the “Mail in,” Ballot Box stuffing skulduggery. They are full of pride that 2020 was easier than they could ever have dreamed.
The DOJ and FBI’s role in the Steal, is ready to be done again.
Pestering DJT with fictitious crimes and assaults, (they are like ASSASSINS!) keeps the courts busy and the DOJ will never investigate the election fraud.
Merrick Garland should be hanged for his leading the DOJ in crime.
Yes
Fixed.
LOL !!! Defined below.
Coondogphilosophy.
If it smells bad, roll in it.
If it freaks out, EAT IT !!!
Yes. The feral government once again lives up to its name.
Reminds me of Lois Lerner's hard drive crash, all of the Mueller teams phones being reset to factory, all of the Secret Service phones for Jan 5-6 messages being wiped and factory reset, all of Hillary's subpoenaed emails being "accidentally deleted with a hammer....
Don’t forget Epstein cell camera and the guards who were on a break elsewhere when he hanged himself.
So said Seth Rich.
it was about the timing
they couldnt count on riling up the crowd at a certain time
the certification hearing had to be interrupted before any challenges were made
and along come the pipe bombs found at exactly at the beginning of the certification hearing requiring the clearing of the capitol
when the certification hearing was reconvened it was under emergency procedures
no challenges allowed
there is your coup
the data was corrupted
there was only one copy?
or were the backups corrupted too?
