Congress releases BOMBSHELL report on J6 pipe bomber revealing FBI engaged in massive coverup

A newly released report from the Committee on House Administration’s Subcommittee on Oversight into the January 6 pipe bomb case accuses the FBI of halting its search for the suspect in 2021 and withholding critical evidence.

The report highlights unresolved issues and inconsistencies in the investigation, leaving many unanswered questions about the events surrounding the Capitol riot.

The report alleges that the FBI ceased actively pursuing the individual responsible for planting pipe bombs at the Republican National Committee (RNC) and Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters just two days after the bombs were discovered.

This claim is supported by statements from former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino, who referenced a whistleblower account during a September broadcast.

“Assets on the ground, including a whistleblower, were briefed about the pipe bombs and shown a picture of a suspect. But two days later, they were told to stand down,” Bongino stated.

These allegations contradict FBI Director Christopher Wray’s earlier assertions that the agency was committed to identifying the suspect.

Despite extensive investigative efforts in the early stages, including search warrants and surveillance reviews, no suspect has been identified nearly four years later.

The report also details conflicting information about key evidence in the case, particularly cellular data.

According to a former senior FBI official, major cell carriers provided “corrupted” data that may have contained the identity of the pipe bomber.

However, the carriers denied this, stating they did not supply corrupted data and were not informed by the FBI of any issues accessing it.

This inconsistency raises concerns about the integrity of the investigation and whether critical leads were overlooked or mishandled.

Security Failures and Newly Released Footage

The pipe bombs, discovered on January 6, 2021, triggered the evacuation of parts of the Capitol. Yet, significant questions remain about when and how the devices were planted. Recently uncovered video footage has added to the mystery.

  • Suspicious Activity: A police officer was seen carrying a bag toward the DNC pipe bomb location just 15 minutes before the device was “discovered” by another officer. This has led some to speculate that the bomb may not have been planted the previous night, as previously claimed.
  • Undetected by Security Measures: A bomb-sniffing dog reportedly passed by the location hours earlier without detecting the device. Additionally, Secret Service agents conducting sweeps ahead of Vice President-elect Kamala Harris’s arrival also failed to notice the bomb.

“The FBI has insisted for years that the bombs were planted the night before, but new evidence suggests otherwise,” noted journalist Julie Kelly, who released the footage.

Public Safety Concerns Downplayed

Critics have pointed out the apparent lack of urgency from law enforcement and the Secret Service after the bombs were discovered. Darren Beattie of Revolver News highlighted how agents appeared “utterly unconcerned” despite the potential threat to Harris and others nearby.

“The Secret Service allowed children to cross the street toward the bomb minutes after it was discovered,” Beattie remarked.

Beattie also raised questions about the timeline and the role of law enforcement, suggesting the bombs may have been planted on January 6, rather than the night before.

Surveillance Footage Withheld

The FBI has faced scrutiny for not releasing surveillance footage that could shed light on the pipe bomber’s identity. Footage from the DNC allegedly shows the suspect sitting on a bench near the location of the bomb. However, critical segments of the video remain undisclosed.

“Why is the FBI withholding key footage? And why is the DNC uninterested in finding out who planted the bomb?” Beattie asked in a tweet.

Political Implications and Public Trust

The report’s findings and the newly released footage have fueled skepticism about the handling of the investigation. Critics argue that these issues reflect broader concerns about transparency and accountability in law enforcement.

Representative Barry Loudermilk, who led the subcommittee’s investigation, emphasized the need for answers:

“The American people deserve the full truth about what happened on January 6. Nearly four years later, we still have no suspect and no substantive updates from the FBI.”

Ongoing Questions

The unresolved nature of the pipe bomb case has left lingering doubts about the events of January 6 and the federal response. Key questions remain:

  • Why did the FBI reportedly halt its investigation into the pipe bomber?
  • Was the device planted on the evening of January 5, or was it placed closer to the time it was discovered?
  • Why were security measures, including bomb-sniffing dogs and Secret Service sweeps, ineffective in detecting the threat?
  • What does the withheld surveillance footage reveal about the suspect’s actions?
