If you haven't read the latest article in Public by Michael Shellenberger and Alex Gutentag, please do. It pours gasoline on the January 6 pipe bomber bonfire, another FBI entanglement where transparency is absent. The bureau reportedly has the security camera footage in and around the Republican National Committee headquarters but refuses to release it. It's critical since new evidence suggests that this pipe bomber, whoever he or she may be, didn't target the RNC and that the FBI misrepresented the location of the explosive device found on January 6 to the media.
The FBI isn't alone: the Secret Service said all text messages among its agents about this incident were deleted, a highly unusual occurrence. The bureau also said cell phone data got corrupted, so the identity of the alleged pipe bomber got away, thanks to a technical glitch like Matthew McConaughy's character in "Frailty." I don't buy it. No one should.
The pipe bomber story was always an enigma. And to many, it never felt right. The story just died as the media and Democrats rushed to blame Donald Trump and Republicans for the event while also selling the narrative that January 6 was worse than Pearl Harbor. To raise more eyebrows, an FBI contractor at the time, Karlin Younger, is the individual to discover the explosive device near the RNC. The makeshift IED was closer to the Capitol Hill Club. Nothing would seem odd about that except she might've gotten closer to a potential bomb to see if the timer was working—no expert would do that—and then sought help from nearby security. A security expert source told Shellenberger and Gutentag that Younger would only do this if she knew the device had zero chance of going off.
The FBI's map of the pipe bomb is wrong, the motive might be incorrect, and its contractor was reckless when she discovered the explosive device—sounds all a bit off, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
As the media will undoubtedly paint those who question the current narrative of conspiracy theory peddling, this isn't Area 51 nonsense or a hunt for Sasquatch. The FBI has conducted itself in a way that should elicit questions from the public. It's not just this story. The death of Jeffrey Epstein had federal prison officials doctoring logbooks and not looking after him after he was placed on suicide watch. FBI Director Chris Wray begrudgingly released the FD-1023 report in which a confidential source alleged that Joe and Hunter Biden were paid $10 million in bribes from Burisma executives. That informant has now been indicted for making false statements. Still, the FBI's long, sordid history of going rogue to protect the Democratic Party tragically has some people rightfully thinking this indictment was handed down to destroy the witness's credibility. Previously, the FBI fought tooth and nail to keep this report hidden. It released it once Wray was threatened with contempt charges, and now this indictment has been slapped against the source.
After illegal FISA wiretaps and the FBI brass knowing that the Steele Dossier was a Clinton-funded opposition research, which was one of the main drivers for the Russian collusion hoax, the FBI has pretty much become comfortable being the left's political Gestapo. Moreover, new evidence points to the CIA already getting the ball rolling before the bureau's Crossfire Hurricane operation; you can't trust a damn thing from the Hoover folk.
No one knows how Epstein could have died.
No one knows why text messages between federal agents on January 6 were deleted.
No one can analyze the cell phone data that could lead to the capture of the J6 pipe bomber. And the video footage is under lock and key by the FBI.
Yet, we're the crazy people for wanting to know what exactly happened regarding the pipe bombs.
