The American public was previously informed that a pipe bomb was placed on January 5, found just before the Capitol was breached on January 6. However, that narrative is now being called into question.
“You now have access to information that suggests this story, which originated from law enforcement, is not accurate,” said Blaze TV host Liz Wheeler during a conversation with John Solomon, editor-in-chief of Just the News.
Wheeler mentioned Kash Patel, who has had lingering questions about January 6. He recently gained access to what’s termed the Prohibited Case File and other evidence drives, which Congress has never seen before. This access is shedding new light on the situation, according to Solomon.
Initially, the FBI asserted that an unknown individual placed the pipe bomb the night before. However, they lack phone tracking data consistent with the individual’s actions as seen in video footage.
Over the past several months, some congressional members like Barry Loudermilk have begun to reflect on the events, questioning whether the narrative might be flawed or even if the scenario was a training exercise.
As new information comes to light, including a lab report released by Patel, the narrative seems increasingly shaky. The lab results suggest that both bombs likely weren’t activated, implying they weren’t set to explode by a trigger. “The report indicates, ‘If it had been assembled correctly, it might have exploded, but it doesn’t seem that way,’” Solomon shared with Wheeler.
Expert Fred Whitehurst noted several inconsistencies in the lab report, suggesting it was structured to present the bombs as particularly dangerous and possibly linked to figures associated with Donald Trump.
Whitehurst emphasized two key points: first, the bomb lacked sufficient black powder, which is typically essential for a detonation. Second, if the device were set 16 hours early, it had only a one-hour timer. “What went wrong?” he asked.
The situation becomes more perplexing with eyewitness accounts. “We had someone see a bomb at the Republican National Committee, and they noted that it couldn’t have been placed there 15 or 16 hours prior,” Solomon reported.
This witness indicated that the bomb had a timer showing 20 minutes remaining, prompting them to alert law enforcement.
“This contradicts the FBI’s long-standing narrative of a 15-hour timeline,” Solomon added. “The initial story stems from video evidence provided by the Capitol Police.”
