Revealed: A plainclothes Capitol cop found the DNC pipe bomb
The Blaze ^ | January 17, 2024 | Steve Baker

Blaze Media can now reveal that the person who discovered the pipe bomb at Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington, D.C., on January 6, 2021, was a United States Capitol Police plainclothes officer.

Multiple congressional staffers familiar with the investigation confirm to Blaze Media that despite months of the FBI stonewalling congressional committees’ inquiries, they now know the identity of that individual — previously only identified as a “passerby.”

At 1:05 p.m. on January 6, the then-unidentified person casually approached a D.C. Metropolitan Police vehicle parked in the DNC’s parking ramp driveway near South Capitol St., reportedly to inform police officers that he’d seen what appeared to be a pipe bomb.

Wearing dark clothes and a backpack, the individual can be seen in a video posted on Republican Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie’s YouTube channel, first speaking to an officer on the driver’s side of the patrol car. He then casually walks around to the car’s passenger side window, where he leans in to chat for several seconds.

Again — in no apparent hurry — the person walks around to the driver’s side of an adjacently parked black Secret Service SUV for a conversation with that vehicle’s occupants. The SUV was parked only about 15-20 feet from the location of the alleged bomb.

The Secret Service vehicle was part of a motorcade that delivered Vice President-elect Kamala Harris to the DNC building only about 90 minutes earlier.

Despite extensive media coverage of the two pipe bombs on January 6 — the first of which was found minutes earlier at the Republican National Committee headquarters on First Street — to this day, no one knows why Harris was delivered to the DNC that morning rather than to the Capitol to participate in the certification of the 2020 Electoral College votes. She was still a senator on January 6.

Curiously, Harris’ presence at the DNC building and in proximity to the alleged pipe bomb was not revealed for a full year.

Politico reported on the first anniversary of January 6:

Uncertainty about Harris’ whereabouts as a mob breached the Capitol building briefly bubbled up in a handful of criminal cases connected to the Jan. 6 insurrection. In dozens of indictments, the Justice Department had erroneously described Harris as being present inside the Capitol during the attack and only recently discovered the error. DOJ has since issued numerous superseding indictments to correct the mistake.

Even more curious is why Harris has never tried to milk public sympathy for having been at the DNC headquarters less than 10 yards away from what the FBI has described as a “viable” explosive device that “could have been detonated, resulting in serious injury or death.”

The FBI on December 17 updated members of Congress on the status of the pipe bomb investigation. A staffer who sat in on the briefing said the FBI offered "nothing more than a regurgitation of old news" and that members were "quite aggravated" about the lack of new information.

As Blaze Media has learned and continues to investigate, the FBI's description of the device as "viable" also appears to be untrue.

Despite congressional aides having given this information to Blaze Media as part of our extensive Capitol CCTV video investigations into the DNC pipe bomb incident, they have not yet revealed the name of the USCP plainclothes officer and how they came to know his identity.

Their investigations continue, as do ours.

Blaze Media has much more soon to come on the DNC pipe bomb story. We are pursuing the answers to the following questions:

How did the Secret Service fail to find a bomb prior to their protectee’s arrival — a bomb that was seemingly purposefully placed the night before in a manner in which it was meant to be discovered?

Why did operators in the Capitol Police Command Center deliberately redirect CCTV cameras away from the DNC pipe bomb investigation and detonation?

Why did a Secret Service agent and MPD officer feel safe enough to finish their lunch before investigating the information about a bomb located only 15 feet away after a law enforcement officer revealed its location to them?

Was the DNC pipe bomb really a “viable” device, despite never-before-seen video evidence to the contrary?

The answers to these questions will all be part of our continuing series on “The Truth About January 6.”

the “bomb” couldn’t / didn’t go off ... if it was real it would have gone off long before overnight because the timer wasn’t capable of timing any longer.

Also curious - you’re a Capitol Hill police officer and very diligent, you find a pipe bomb! Don’t you get right on your radio, “hey get the bomb squad down here right away, somebody left a pipe bomb at the bench outside DNC” ... you’re going to be the hero that saves untold numbers of lies ... but, no ... you slink over to the USSS? this has complete + total setup all over it.

We are pursuing the answers to the following questions:

Of all the people in or near the Capitol on J5/6 why was there only ONE person (the one who planted the "bombs") whose phone data was "corrupted" thus unable to be identified via geofencing?

Somehow the FBI, in perhaps the most surveilled city on the planet, hasn’t been able to make an arrest of a suspect.

Hmmm.

He rushed back to the capitol to hold the door open for the demonstrators.

Remember that the purpose of the “discovery” of the bombs was to delay the certification vote (which was the purpose of the entire J6 operation).

Guaranteed that this officer and that “random” walker who “found” the RNC “bomb” have matching incoming phone numbers on their cell phones.

“By the reaction of all LE present, there was no danger. Officers just sat there for a while 15-20 feet from the device, didn’t secure the area, approached the device without any precautions, and allowed people to just walk by the device without informing them of any danger. Because there was no danger.”


And they KNEW there was no danger because the devices had been planted by the Feds to be conveniently found at a designated time.

You know it’s bull s*** when they describe this, “Plain clothes officer” as a *passerby*. They knew immediately this was a law enforcement officer. Even if he had been off duty, they knew immediately who the f discovered the device.

This whole thing reeks like a 3 day old homicide scene.

Not cynical at all, as soon as it was mentioned in the article that he was wearing a backpack, my first thought was that he may have placed the "pipe bomb".
