I can’t be the only one who believes absolutely nothing that comes from the FIB.

[FlingWingFlyer]

So he was going to blow up the GOP with a pipe bomb because he believed we weren’t going to need them anymore??? The boy is a liar that needs to be deported. Scum.

people briefed on the matter said

So...not even there. Just hearsay.

“Accused DC pipe bomber told FBI he believed the 2020 election was stolen, sources say”

Is that all they got? Any word on his social media postings?

[ClearCase_guy]

The Biden Admin had all the evidence they needed to find the Pipe Bomber — a guy who agreed with Trump that the 2020 election was stolen. A guy who planted bombs as part of the infamous Jan 6 insurrection. The Biden Admin had all of this on a silver platter ... and they decided to ignore it entirely??

[SouthWall]

(sarcasm on)Yep, I believe it (/sarcasm off)

CNN - people briefed on the matter said.

Consider the source of this story my friend.

[angrymarine]

What about the fact that a pipe bomb with a 1 hour timer was planted 24 hours before the thing was “supposed” to go off - as a distraction to the J6 “riots” which took place 24 hours after it was planted?

So - the female Capitol Police officer. Gait Match. Shooting american citizens from the top of the capitol. Got CIA security job right after J6. What happened to that?

Any word on his social media postings?

I'm sure the FBI has people writing them as we speak. ;-)

[V_TWIN]

This story stinks so bad it sounds to me like cnn pulled it right outta their ass.

[Lurker]

CNN? The network that called the suspect a “white man”?

That CNN?

[rktman]

Oh a MAGA guy. I see......

[gloryblaze]

On Sunday, Leslie Marshall was asked about the obvious success of the new DOJ solving this case after the previous failure. She replied that the left was merely concerned that President Trump would pardon any newly charged.

OMG! I nearly fainted. There is no stretch beyond which they will not stretch to suit their agenda.

[V_TWIN]

Yeah, that and this guy’s daddy tried to sue the Trump administration and now cnn is trying to convince us the pipe bomber thought the election was stolen?

I’m throwing the bullshit flag. 💩

[Kleon]

Who are these “sources”? CNN can’t be trusted to tell the truth. Last I heard, he was antifa.

[DesertRhino]

It wasn’t the DC Policewoman/CIA chick. Noooo, a week later we learn it was a guy doing it on behalf of Trump in 2020.

Laughable.

[Kid Shelleen]

So he was an election denier AND an insurrectionist and Biden admin still ignored him?

[jimpick]

Holy crap CNN is worse than Mad Magazine.

[DesertRhino]

Pay no attention that the patsy was suddenly found a week or so after the DC police female/CIA woman leading the police attack on J6 was identified.

I mean, if you can’t trust Epstein-covering, JEB-loving Blondie, who CAN you trust?
