The Pipe Bombs Before Jan. 6: An Impenetrable Capital Mystery
RealClear Investigations ^ | 28 Feb, 2024 | Julie Kelly

Posted on 02/28/2024 5:55:49 AM PST by MtnClimber

The newly disclosed video shows a dark SUV pulling up to the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee in Washington, D.C., at 9:44 a.m. on Jan. 6, 2021. It sits for several minutes until a uniformed man with a bomb-sniffing dog enters from the right and steps up to the vehicle. The driver complies with his command, the dog sniffs inside and outside the car which is soon allowed to enter the parking garage. The man and his dog exit back to the right.

This scene is unremarkable except for one detail: The uniformed man and his trained canine came within a few feet of where a plainclothes Capitol Police officer would soon discover a pipe bomb that had been planted there the night before. The bomb, which the FBI has described as viable and capable of inflicting serious injury, along with a similar one found at the headquarters of the Republican National Committee, would appear to be the most overt act of violence perpetrated on Jan. 6.

Responding to the video discovered by this reporter, Rep. Barry Loudermilk, the Georgia Republican who chairs the House Oversight Committee subcommittee now conducting a separate inquiry into Jan. 6, asked, “How could a bomb-sniffing dog miss a pipe bomb at the DNC? We’ll add this to our long list of unanswered questions and continue getting to the truth.”

The number of anomalies surrounding this still unsolved case continues to grow. These include:

-The failure of the Secret Service detail assigned to Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris, who was inside DNC headquarters when the bomb was discovered, to find the device before her visit.

I have seen no photos, videos or news stories about the RNC device. Why is that?

How can a bomb sniffing dog miss it? Because it wasn’t a bomb. Just because they say it is doesn’t mean it was. Dogs aren’t stupid but they believe we are. We are to believe what they say? Nope, not buying it. All part of the J6 plans.

Anyone can buy a short pipe with threaded ends (called a pipe nipple) and a couple of matching pipe caps at almost every local building supply store for around ten bucks. Drill a hole in one of the caps, screw them on the nipple, poke some wires through the hole, wrap them around a 1-hour kitchen timer, and viola! you have the Jan 6 “bombs”.

The hard part would be coming up with the explosive material inside the pipe, and the blasting cap to set it off. That’s what the bomb sniffing dogs would smell.

One early report on the ‘bombs’ said the FBI “safely detonated” the ‘bombs”, which would, of course, destroyed all evidence they could have provided.

After seeing videos of the “suspect” walking around I could identify him just by his very distinctive walk. But the fibbies can't find him. I have a clue for them , take a look at your own agents who were in Washington at the time, that should narrow it down easily.

I would suggest as the weeks advanced up 6 Jan...on the plans board (yeah, I’m saying this was planned 60 to 90 days prior to 6 Jan)...there were probably 20 different events. As they advanced to the week prior...I think five or six events were deleted. This bomb stuff...was probably one of those that were deleted and the single guy responsible...never got the message.

I might even go back to spring of 2019...there was probably a FBI-CIA whiteboard where these events were laid out (to include Epps-led crowd to be at some point).

:You make the excellent point: “One early report on the ‘bombs’ said the FBI “safely detonated” the ‘bombs”, which would, of course, destroyed all evidence they could have provided.” As a criminal enterprise the FBI is very good at covering its tracks.

“The hard part would be coming up with the explosive material inside the pipe, and the blasting cap to set it off. That’s what the bomb sniffing dogs would smell.”

I think there was no explosive charge in the pipes. It was a training device, used by cops all over the country, especially the feds. More for visual identification training than dog-sniffing devices.

It was empty (or full of inactive material for weight) with a standard rocket ignitor in on end, though, for visual consistency. Nobody seems to have asked if the device had an active explosive charge in it.

“Sherwin responded that both scenarios would be explored during the investigation but he emphasized that the devices were “real” and contained “explosive igniters.””

Uh huh. The ignitors were likely deactivated, for safety reasons, which is easy to do. Soak in water overnight, or similar. And likely any batteries were inert as well.

Visual training devices are not controlled very closely. The training devices for dogs have traces of actual explosive material, so the dogs can find them, and are very tightly controlled. Need to be signed in and out, serial numbered, etc.

No video available to show someone actually planting them. Uh huh.

My guess is either some dufus forgot to pick them back up after the visual sweep, or an insider planted them there right before the bru-haha. But regardless, all the cops knew immediately what it was: an inert training device. (And their communications will indicate so. Oops, they got erased.) Dogs couldn’t smell the inert devices, as intended.

Hence the nonchalance.

The Keystone Kops know durn well what happened. They’re too embarrassed to say so.

This is the link to the Fed staging this insurrection to stop the count.

Kommiela Harris was at the DNC HQ while the bomb was there. What was she doing there rather than at the Capitol?
