3rd Pipe Bomb Camera Deliberately Turned Away From Scene

‘These revelations are extremely troubling and raise even more important questions about the DNC/RNC pipe bomb investigation,’ says Rep. Loudermilk

...

WASHINGTON—A third U.S. Capitol Police security camera was turned away from the Democratic National Committee during the police response to the pipe bomb found near a bench at DNC headquarters on Jan. 6, The Epoch Times has learned.

Security video obtained by the newspaper from Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.) showed Camera 8021 that was recording the operations of a bomb robot suddenly panned away from the scene just before 2:21 p.m.

The change in camera view happened 10 minutes before the Capitol Police unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) fired a water cannon to disrupt the pipe bomb for the second time in 20 minutes.

After pointing up for a short time, Camera 8021 panned left to show D Street, then zoomed in various directions until settling on a nondescript parking-lot view for the rest of the day.

A third U.S. Capitol Police security camera Camera 8021—located high on the Fairchild Building—is the third Capitol Police camera discovered to have been deliberately turned away from the unfolding pipe bomb drama during crucial operations of the bomb squad.

Mr. Loudermilk, whose Committee on House Administration’s Subcommittee on Oversight is investigating the Jan. 6 pipe bombs, said he was concerned by the discovery.

...

“These revelations are extremely troubling and raise even more important questions about the DNC/RNC pipe bomb investigation,” Mr. Loudermilk told The Epoch Times. “We will continue to rigorously seek answers. The American people deserve full transparency in this critical matter.”

Two pipe bombs were discovered near the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6: one in an alley between the Capitol Hill Club and the Republican National Committee building, and the other in the bushes on the southwest side of the DNC building.

Despite a three-year federal investigation and $500,000 in reward money, no arrests have been made.

Two Other Cameras Moved..

As The Epoch Times previously reported, Camera 3173—located directly across the street from where the pipe bomb was found at 1:05 p.m.—turned away from the DNC building at 1:29 p.m., before the bomb squad arrived. Camera 8020—also located on the Fairchild Building—was filming the assemblage of the bomb squad on E Street Southeast when it, too, was directed away at 1:44 p.m. to focus on some distant railroad tracks and a highway overpass for the next 2½ hours.

The Camera 8020 switch came just as the bomb robot turned up Canal Street Southeast headed for the DNC.

...

Security cameras were controlled and monitored from the Capitol Police Command Center on the seventh floor of police headquarters on D Street Northeast.

An official familiar with police command operations said directing cameras away from a developing crime scene in such a manner is “very, very odd.”

‘You absolutely would be having the camera operators training the cameras and scanning to see if anything else was going on down around the DNC,” the official said. “And you’re not seeing that. You’re seeing what looks like a deliberate move of the cameras to not record anything associated with the pipe bomb.”

Capitol Police camera 4502—mounted on the nearby Capitol power plant—did capture parts of the initial aftermath of the bomb discovery and some of the bomb-robot operations.

The latest development on the DNC pipe bomb only adds to a growing list of questions about the crime scene, how the event was handled, and if the pipe bomb was really a “viable” device, as claimed by the FBI.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) disclosed in late January that the DNC pipe bomb was discovered by a plainclothes Capitol Police officer at 1:05 p.m. on Jan. 6, confirming a report first published on Jan. 17 by Blaze Media. The Epoch Times independently confirmed the report.

Camera 3173 was in a fixed position aimed at the DNC building’s garage, so the officer’s discovery of the nearby pipe bomb doesn’t show on that camera’s video. None of the other Capitol Police cameras that cover the area around the DNC were trained on the building before the bomb discovery, so there is no CCTV video evidence showing how the officer first encountered the bomb.

When the officer walked the short distance from the bomb to a driveway where Secret Service and Metropolitan Police Department sport-utility vehicles sat, the agents inside took more than two minutes to finish their lunch before emerging to investigate, Mr. Massie said.

Former FBI special agent Kyle Seraphin, who worked surveillance in the Jan. 6 pipe bombs case, said his team was told by an FBI briefing agent that the bombs weren’t real.

“Looked very bomb-like,” Mr. Seraphin said on the Jan. 25 episode of his podcast. “Those are the actual words that I remember, ‘Looked very bomb-like.’”

Discovery of the DNC bomb was announced on Capitol Police dispatch at 1:07 p.m., according to audio obtained by The Epoch Times.

Officer 987-Adam: “I’m going to declare a 10-100 at the DNC as well, similar device as was found at the RNC as well. Advising the units on scene what’s going on.”

Dispatch: “Alright, where do you have your device?”

987-Adam: “At the DNC.”

Dispatch: “OK, but where at in the DNC, sir?”

987-Adam: “Right at the corner of Canal, the uni-block of Canal Street and Washington Avenue. Right near the…”

987-Adam: “Did you copy my last? I broke up.”

Unknown Officer: “Sir, I need you to advise, do we have the same device at the DNC?”

Dispatch: “A-firm, sir. It’s going to be in the corner of Canal Street and Washington Avenue in the bushes. 987-A Adam has seen it.”

A short time later, all radio communication related to the DNC pipe bomb was moved to what was announced over the air as Channel 3. Audio from that channel has not been publicly released.

It is not clear why former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund wasn’t notified by his command staff about the DNC bomb until 1:49 p.m., 42 minutes after his dispatcher took the bomb report from an officer on scene. Mr. Sund was in the Command Center at the time, working to get approval for the National Guard to be dispatched to the Capitol to quell the violence that broke out during protests.

Capitol Police officials have not commented on the recent questions raised about the pipe bombs. Multiple requests by The Epoch Times for comment have gone unanswered.

Security video footage released on Feb. 13 by columnist Julie Kelly shows just before 9:29 a.m., what appears to be a bomb-sniffing dog at work along the DNC driveway and the side building entrance a few feet from where the pipe bomb would be discovered 3 1/2 hours later.

Vice President-elect Kamala Harris—who was inside the DNC building—was not evacuated by the Secret Service for nearly 11 minutes after the bomb discovery.

Video shows the vehicles in her motorcade emerging from the garage starting at 1:13:40 p.m., then winding around to the front entrance to pick up Ms. Harris. The motorcade departed from the front of the building at 1:16 p.m.

Secret Service agents and police officers milled about the southwest side of the DNC building near the bomb, instead of immediately withdrawing to a safe perimeter out of the blast zone, security video showed.

One uniformed police officer walked within 10 feet of the bomb and snapped a photo of it with his phone, security video showed. A group of what appeared to be teenagers walked past the bomb site after crossing South Capitol Street.

Several commuter trains on the way to and from Union Station rumbled over a railroad trestle directly next to the DNC building while the pipe bomb was in place, security video revealed.

The initial nonchalant demeanor of Secret Service agents made no sense with what the FBI considers a weapon of mass destruction sitting within dozens of feet of the incoming vice president, Mr. Massie said during a recent podcast appearance.

‘That’s Just Stupidity’..

A police official familiar with explosives ordnance disposal agreed with that assessment. “If a pipe bomb goes off, shrapnel from that pipe bomb travels, it’s going to travel at about anywhere from 18,000 to 23,000 feet per second,” the official told The Epoch Times. “There’s nothing you can do.

“By the time you hear the boom, the shrapnel is going to be hitting you,” the official said. “That’s just stupidity. Unless, for some reason, they had no reason to be concerned.”

Capitol Police security video reviewed by The Epoch Times shows a bomb “total containment vehicle” towed by a black pickup truck traveling in a police caravan north on Washington Avenue Southwest at 2:23 p.m. The pickup and trailer turned east on D Street at 2:24 p.m.

The orb-like, steel-reinforced tank on a containment vehicle safely holds an explosive device while it is moved to a remote location where it can be examined and undergo a “make-safe” operation. If the bomb detonates at any point, the tank vents the air pressure while containing the debris.

The first time is happenstance.
The second time is coincidence.
The third time is enemy action.

I’m beginning to think that these were placed there for a “plan B” of sorts.

Once that girl was shot inside the capital building through the neck, they didn’t need the pipe bomb.

Yep. This is what they were going to use if folks did not enter the Capitol.

“U.S. Capitol Police security camera Camera 8021—located high on the Fairchild Building”

They had a special temporary “remote situation room” in operation at the other end or ends. It could’ve been set up so that participating “stakeholders” all worked in separate locations instead of it being conducted in a common onsite location. Unfortunately, there are probably no records of any money to follow that could lead back to it.

The pipe bombs were fakes placed there by operatives working for Deep State actors in furtherance of the J6 false flag.

And I’ll take this opportunity to post TigersEye’s excellent summary of events:

I don’t question the government’s role in Jan. 6, ‘21 at all.

The FedMob set it up, agitated the crowd, turned down the President’s offer to authorize the Nat. Guard, hired punks like Ray Epps to instigate going into the Capitol, planted bombs at the RNC and DNC headquarters, misdirected the Capitol Police, opened electronic locks on Capitol doors and more.

“Camera 8021 that was recording the operations of a bomb robot suddenly panned away from the scene just before 2:21 p.m.”

Maybe because the video would show that the DNC pipe bomb was a fake?

It’s time for the GOP to stop acting like it’s a trial. Do it the democrat way. Gather some evidence, overcharge, arrest in the wee hours of the morning, make sweeping proclamations declaring definite guilt, make up whatever other evidence you need.

You only have to make it last until the election. Don’t let perfect get in the way of good.

Sounds like the alien autopsy video.

Pretty tough when we don’t have the DOJ.

Thank you again. Perfect thread for re-posting that.

It just gets clearer every day that this was a Fedsurrection black op from start to finish.

Has it occurred to anyone to ask the officers under oath why they treated a weapon of mass destruction in such a cavilier manner? That would be interesting! I am sure there is a reason.

This IS NOT America. Don’t expect equal outcomes, period.

Unless proven otherwise, I surmise that is what occurred. Why was the video of the police agitating the crowd withheld for a couple of years?
