Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio, the ranking Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, has asked the FBI to provide an immediate briefing regarding the agency’s investigation into the pipe bombs left at the headquarters of the Democrat and Republican parties on January 5 last year.
The would-be bomber left the devices in front of the two buildings between 7:30 and 8:30 p.m. It was the night before the mostly peaceful protest that Democrats and their leftist Media Information Ministry falsely claim was an “insurrection” against the government.
An “insurrection” the protest wasn’t. And the pipe bombs, thankfully, did not explode.
A year later, as January 6 protesters suffer in gulag-like conditions in D.C. jails, the would-be bomber remains at large. The FBI is, in a word, clueless.
A whistleblower contacted the committee to say the agency was up to some “unusual” activities.
The Letter
“We have received a whistleblower disclosure from a senior FBI special agent concerning the investigation into the pipe bombs placed near the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee and Republican National Committee on January 5, 2021,” Jordan wrote to FBI chief Christopher Wray:
According to the special agent, on February 7, 2022 — over a year after the placement of the bombs — the FBI’s Washington Field Office asked FBI field offices to canvass all confidential human sources nationwide for information about the individual and the crime.
In part, the message asked that the canvass “include sources reporting on all [types of] threats” because the suspect’s “motive and ideology remain unknown.” The special agent explained that the WFO request was “unusual” because it was transmitted more than a year after the FBI had begun the investigation, and it raises questions about the progress and extent of the FBI’s investigation.
The FBI has not “sufficiently” answered questions from GOP Representative Bill Posey of Florida about the status of the probe, Jordan wrote. Posey wrote to the agency in September; the agency hasn’t answered him because he’s not a Democrat.
“The FBI, however, has not fully responded to Rep. Posey’s request, explaining that it was exclusively providing information to the partisan Democrat-led Select Committee investigating the events of January 6, 2021,” Jordan continued:
The FBI’s decision to provide information on a partisan basis is antithetical to the FBI’s purported impartiality and it further erodes public confidence in the FBI’s senior leadership.
Jordan demanded an agency briefing by March 23.
The Bomb
The FBI said in January that investigation is a priority, and is offering $100,000 for information leading to the arrest of the suspect, who didn’t plant fakes.
“They would have exploded. They could have exploded,” an FBI agent told ABC News in January. The agent said the bureau has conducted 900 interviews and collected 39,000 videos and 400 tips.
Still, nothing.
“Investigators are keying in on the mannerisms of the suspect, specifically looking at the way the suspect walks,” ABC reported.
In September, the FBI released video of the suspect that shows his route from North Carolina, S.E. at 7:34 p.m. to the Democratic National Committee on South Capitol Street, S.E. The bomber sat on a bench, left the bomb, then walked back to North Carolina. It was 8:00 p.m. Eight minutes later, he was at 2nd Street, S.E. and headed for the Republican National Committee on First Street, S.E., where he planted the second bomb some between then at 8:18 p.m.
The bomber wore gloves, a hooded gray or heather sweatshirt, and either blue jeans or dark pants.
The question is why the FBI will cooperate only with the Democrat majority on the select committee investigating the “insurrection.”
Amusingly, the FBI is providing information exclusively to a committee whose chairman, Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, was an insurrectionist sympathizer in his salad days. A half century ago, Thompson’s radical comrades planned an insurrection against the United States.
Thompson’s boon companions killed a cop and wounded an FBI agent, and threatened “guerilla warfare” against the United States, the bureau warned, as part of a deranged plan to take over several southern states and form a country called New Africa.
