FBI arrests suspect in 2021 D.C. pipe bomb case, sources say
CBS ^ | 12/4/25 | staff

Posted on 12/04/2025 5:48:29 AM PST by CFW

Federal authorities made their first arrest Thursday in connection with two pipe bombs that were planted outside the Democratic National Committee and Republican National Committee headquarters on the eve of the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

The arrest marks a major step forward in a case that has vexed the FBI for nearly five years.

Both pipe bombs were placed outside DNC and RNC headquarters on the evening of Jan. 5, 2021, federal investigators have said. The devices — made out of 1x8-inch pipes, kitchen timers and homemade black powder — did not detonate, but the FBI has called them viable and warned they could have killed or injured people.

No more info thus far.


“The official who described the arrest was not authorized to publicly discuss a case that has not yet been made public and spoke on the condition of anonymity. The arrest took place Thursday morning, and the suspect is a man, the official said. No other details were immediately available, including the charges the man might face.”

“The tips we have received so far from the American people have helped us advance the investigation, and we ask the public to continue to assist us by taking a fresh look at our Seeking Information webpage, which includes images and video of the suspect, the suspect’s backpack, the suspect’s shoes, the explosive devices, and a map of the route the suspect walked the night the pipe bombs were placed.

Some guy named “Patsy” agreed to a lucrative deal in exchange for a club fed stay. That wraps things up nicely. Nancy retirement was in the deal.

So obviously bogus.

“This” FBI is as bad as all the others before it.

It appears to us little people that the deep state was again involved... so many people from the gummit walked by the bombs and it was never reported, this alone speaks loudly of the many leftist agency perps. I listened to every podcast from Bongino for the last couple of years and he was relentless in pointing out the small details of this fake bombing scandal.

Can’t be the only one who believes he took the job at the FBI just for this reason and was personally asked by Trump to do so.

On the other hand, my theory that it was Michelle Obama is still a viable possibility. :-P
