As the investigation into the pipe bomb discovered at Democratic National Committee headquarters on January 6, 2021 gains momentum, Blaze News investigative journalist Steve Baker and others are asking crucial questions. What does the US government have to hide?
What are the details?
Baker broke new ground in the pipe bomb incident last week as part of his ongoing analysis of the truth about January 6th. He insisted that the person who discovered the alleged explosives at DNC headquarters in Washington, D.C., was “not the culprit.” “Passerby,” the person endlessly parroted, was a plainclothes officer with the U.S. Capitol Police.
Baker noted that “multiple Congressional officials familiar with the investigation” confirmed this to Blaze News, while the FBI has blocked background checks on individuals.
video A video posted to the YouTube channel of Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) shows the person in question (wearing black clothing) casually approaching a D.C. Metropolitan Police Department vehicle parked at the DNC shortly after 1 p.m. The footage reportedly shows a person wearing a suit and carrying a backpack. Baker said he notified law enforcement that he had found what appeared to be a pipe bomb.

Baker said the same video shows the person walking to the driver's side of a black Secret Service SUV parked next to a Metro Police vehicle and speaking to people inside the Secret Service SUV. was also shown, and again there was no apparent sense of urgency, Baker said.
As it turned out, the alleged pipe bomb was located only 15 to 20 feet from the vehicle, Baker said. Additionally, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris had arrived at the DNC building in the same Secret Service SUV only about 90 minutes earlier, Baker said. This fact did not come to light for a full year after January 6th.
It remains a mystery why Harris, who was still a senator that day, was taken to the Democratic National Committee rather than the Capitol that morning to participate in the certification of the 2020 electoral votes. added Baker.
The bigger question, Baker said, is why Harris and other Democrats didn't take advantage of the proximity of her political position. FBI called It was a “viable” explosive device that “could detonate and cause serious injury or death” to garner sympathy and support. Assuming that pipe bomb and another bomb found at the Republican National Committee headquarters were part of the violence on January 6th, why did the Biden administration use this word to emphasize the story of that day? Didn't you use it?
Other questions Baker continues to consider include:
- Secret Service agents and Metropolitan Police Department officials felt safe enough to finish their lunch after law enforcement officers revealed the location of the bomb, before investigating information about the bomb located just a few feet away. Why?
- Why didn't the Secret Service find the pipe bomb before Harris arrived at the Democratic National Committee? Especially since it was in plain sight next to the bench the night before, as if it was meant to be found. Is it because it was placed there?
- Why did the operators of the Capitol Police Command Center purposefully orient their surveillance cameras away from the DNC pipe bomb investigation and explosion?
- Was the DNC pipe bomb really a “viable” device, despite never-before-seen evidence to the contrary?
Other investigative journalists weigh in
Michael Shellenberger and Alex Gutentag wrote on Saturday Investigative stories for the public Regarding the discovery of pipe bombs at Democratic and Republican headquarters. Importantly, they noted that overall: ”It was supposed to be a national scandal. ”
The authors say the pipe bomb was initially “key to the story that the Capitol riot was a premeditated act of domestic terrorism,” but for some reason the pipe bomb was not included in the Capitol's 841-page official report. Said to be omitted from detailed analysis and chronology. It was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives on January 6, and was only briefly mentioned in an appendix.
Shellenberger and Gutentag offered a possible explanation. The FBI claimed the pipe bomb was “viable,” but Kyle Serafin, a former FBI agent who worked on the investigation, said he was told by technicians from the Joint IED Countermeasures Agency that the device lacked the necessary assembly to operate.
The public story also states: The FBI released surveillance video and photos that showed the pipe bomb suspect “holding a cell phone and possibly sending a text message,” which led the FBI to report It will be easier to identify. But Shellenberger and Gutentag revealed that data from the phone company that might have identified the bombing suspect had been “mysteriously corrupted.”
Public report details:
The FBI claims the pipe bomb was planted at the DNC on the night of January 5, 2021. However, given that Harris was at the DNC, it is very likely that the Secret Service carried out the security sweep, possibly using bombs. A sniffer dog believed the bomb was already on the premises when they arrived on January 6th.
An independent security analyst who has worked for elected officials on Capitol Hill and elsewhere wrote a comprehensive threat analysis of the pipe bomb allegations, which was obtained by The Public. “Something must have happened that the bomb wasn't found, otherwise it wouldn't have been there on the night of the 5th,” the expert, who asked not to be named, told Zoom. If they had been on guard duty regularly, they 100% would have found the bomb. That's obvious. They would have to be blind to not see it. And if they had a dog. ?Please let me rest.”
Experts found it highly unlikely that the Secret Service did not carry out a raid. “It's hard to believe that the Secret Service would put the vice president in a post somewhere and not ensure security. It's hard to explain how bad that is.”
Still, the authors cautioned against a CNN article from January 31, 2022. The article cited a “law enforcement official familiar with the incident” who told the network that “the Secret Service, which was responsible for protecting Harris that day, conducted a sweep inside.” Before her arrival, she inspected the building, driveway, parking deck, and entrances and exits. ”
Additionally, Revolver has its own Comprehensive investigation work About Thursday's pipe bomb story. This caught the attention of Tucker Carlson, who gave a compelling video interview on the subject with Revolver's Darren J. Beatty, which was broadcast live on X the same day.
Mr. Carlson also provided an addendum to the video interview below, noting Mr. Baker's analysis on last week's Blaze News that the “passerby” who discovered the pipe bomb at the DNC was a plainclothes officer with the U.S. Capitol Police. Aroused.
How are the forces responding?
Neither the U.S. Capitol Police nor the D.C. Metro Police Department immediately responded to Blaze News' requests for comment about the claims Baker outlined in his Jan. 17 pipe bomb analysis.
“The Secret Service and the Capitol Police did not respond to our requests for comment,” Shellenberger and Gutentag wrote in a public article. “An FBI spokesperson declined to comment and directed the public to the agency's pipe bomb web page. I have instructed them to refer to the latest statement.”
