Training exercise or police diversion? Evidence leads Congress to explore new J6 pipe bomb theories

Tevidence obtained by Congress in its quest to unravel the mysteries of Jan. 6 has led the panel leading the investigation to consider that the pipe bombs planted at both the Republican and Democratic National Committees may have been part of an undisclosed training exercise, Chairman Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., told Just the News. 

Additionally, new documents raise questions about how valuable cellular phone location data from the days leading up to Jan. 6 — key data that investigators needed for their work — was purged from an AT&T and government system despite a preservation order from the FBI.  

Chairman Loudermilk says the evidence from the FBI’s pipe bomb analysis, AT&T’s response to the data request, and a stunning coincidence are leading his panel to consider alternative theories about one of the enduring mysteries of that day. 

The details do not add up

Just the News reported on Monday that the pipe bomb analysis conducted by an FBI laboratory found the devices were filled with chemical building blocks of black powder, each was equipped with a 60-minute kitchen timer, and each had destructive potential. However, neither device exploded and they were discovered about 16 hours after the FBI claimed they were planted outside both major party headquarters.

To Loudermilk, these details do not add up.   

“I’m not buying the story anymore that they were there on the fifth,” Loudermilk told the “Just the News, No Noise” TV show on Monday.  

“I believe that they were put out on the sixth at this point. This is the theory that we’re going on, especially since the lady that found them said there were still 20 minutes left on the timer when they were placed there,” said Loudermilk.  

“The other thing is, were there enough…was there enough explosives in the devices to actually cause a massive explosion? That’s one of the things we’re looking at in these reports, which kind of leads us to believe maybe there wasn’t, but there definitely were explosives,” he added.

Woke officials in tony DC suburb refused to charge trans sex offender who went ‘hunting’ for little girls, Virginia AG says

Virginia’s Attorney General is blasting woke county officials for refusing to arrest a sex offender who claimed to be a woman so he could walk into girls’ locker rooms — and said there was clear evidence he was “hunting” little girls at pools and water parks in the tony Washington, DC, suburb.

Richard Cox, a prolific 58-year-old registered sex offender, allegedly exposed himself to little girls and women in the girls’ locker rooms. He was also found with child pornography and a schedule of girls’ swim class schedules at Fairfax County rec centers on his phone, cops said.

However, in Fairfax County — where a Dem-majority board oversees the cops — authorities aid they have no plans to charge Cox for his visits to three rec centers there where children were present, WSET reported.

When he was finally arrested, it was in neighboring Arlington County — where Cox is facing charges for a laundry list of sex crimes.

Video obtained by WSET shows Cox, a biological male, entering women’s locker rooms at Fairfax County’s Oakmont, Audrey Moore, and Franconia rec centers last year.

New House panel to re-investigate Jan. 6th; Trump, Patel respond to report on attack

A new House panel will re-investigate the January 6th Capitol attack with a focus on the narrative about the events in Washington, D.C. in 2021.

House Speaker Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., told CNN Sunday that the new panel is a “committee investigating the previous committee.”

That committee was rigged, I think, and I think, my theory is, I always believed that they got rid of evidence and they hid some of this,” Johnson said.

This past weekend, President Donald Trump also took to Truth Social, accusing former FBI Director Christopher Wray of lying about the presence of FBI agents during January 6th.

It was just revealed that the FBI had secretly placed, against all Rules, Regulations, Protocols, and Standards, 274 FBI Agents into the Crowd just prior to, and during, the January 6th Hoax. This is different from what Director Christopher Wray stated, over and over again!” Trump wrote in part.

Trump cited a report published last week in, ‘The Blaze,’ which claimed the FBI had 274 agents embedded in January 6th crowds. A report, FBI Director Kash Patel clarified, while also criticizing Wray.

Agents were sent into a crowd control mission after the riot was declared by Metro Police,” Patel told Fox News Digital. “This was the failure of a corrupt leadership that lied to Congress and to the American people,” he added.

Wray has testified multiple times about the FBI’s role on January 6th. Including in 2024, when he was asked about having confidential human sources inside the Capitol.

If you are asking if the violence at the Capitol on January 6th was part of some operation orchestrated by FBI sources or agents, the answer is no,” Wray told House lawmakers.

A Justice Department Inspector General report released in December 2024, also disputes Trump’s claims. The report acknowledged 26 CHS were in D.C. on January 6th. Three were reporting on domestic terrorism subjects, and one entered the Capitol. The other 23 were in the city independently, with several also going into the Capitol.

FBI Releases January 6 Pipe Bomb Lab Report; Witness Statement on Kitchen Timer Attached to RNC Bomb Blows Up FBI’s Narrative

The FBI’s lab report on the so-called January 6 pipe bombs was released this weekend.

According to the pipe bomb lab report obtained by Just The News, the bombs had ‘destructive potential’ but never detonated.

Additionally, the witness who discovered the RNC pipe bomb said the kitchen timer attached to it only had 20 minutes left. This blows up the timeline narrative and suggests the RNC bomb was planted shortly before it was discovered.

The kitchen timers attached to both bombs only had a 60-minute timer.

“I am the person that discovered and alerted the guards to the pipe bomb found next to the RNC on January 6. I wanted to identify myself in case there are additional details I can provide that might be useful to the investigation,” the witness wrote to the FBI, according to Just The News.

“I did not see nor do I recognize the person of interest socialized in the media. However, I can confirm that the device must have been placed between 12pm-12:40pm EST, because it was not present when I went down to the area to start laundry (~12pm), but it was present when I returned to continue laundry (~12:40pm),” she told the FBI.

Just The News reported:

The unsolved case of two pipe bombs planted at the major political parties’ headquarters in Washington D.C. before the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot is facing new mystery after FBI Director Kash Patel transmitted to Congress the lab analysis and interviews with a key witness who is challenging the official timeline of events.

The documents obtained by Just the News show that both bombs — one planted at the Democratic National Committee and the other at the Republican National Committee — were filled with chemical building blocks of black powder, each was equipped with a 60-minute kitchen timer, and each had destructive potential.

But most notably, the FBI laboratory report never uses the word “viable” to describe either bomb. Both devices never exploded and were discovered about 16 hours after the FBI claimed they were planted outside both major party headquarters.

“When properly assembled and initiated, an IED of this sort can cause property damage, bodily injury, or death,” the lab report stated. The report offered no clear explanation why the bombs — which it called “Improvised Explosive Devices” — did not detonate.

The FBI in January released *new* footage of the January 6 pipe bomber after Rep. Loudermilk released a report revealing the bureau engaged in a massive coverup operation.

FBI lab report, contradictory witness statement inject fresh mystery in unsolved J6 pipe bomb case

The unsolved case of two pipe bombs planted at the major political parties’ headquarters in Washington D.C. before the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot is facing new mystery after FBI Director Kash Patel transmitted to Congress the lab analysis and interviews with a key witness who is challenging the official timeline of events.

Timeline of when bombs planted, discovered under review

The documents turned over by Patel to the House Judiciary Committee and its special Jan. 6 investigative subcommittee also raise questions about that timeline. They include interviews with a key witness who said the RNC device still had 20 minutes remaining on its timer when she discovered it the following day.

That witness raised the possibility that at least the RNC pipe bomb was planted just before it was discovered and not the night before as the FBI claimed.

The mystifying evidence now has congressional investigators exploring stunning new theories, including whether the bombs were made to look real but not to explode to create a diversion during the Jan. 6 protest or whether someone came back and set the timers later on one or both of the devices.

“The single greatest action that facilitated the protester’s ease of entry into the Capitol on January 6 was the placing of the pipe bombs, and the diversionary effect that had on security resources which would have otherwise been at the Capitol,” said Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., the chairman of the House Judiciary subcommittee that is investigating the law enforcement response to Jan. 6.

“After that day, the FBI was zealous in pursuing those trespassing at the Capitol, but quite lacking in their pursuit of whomever placed the pipe bombs,” he added. “One focus of this Committee will be highlighting the bizarre facts surrounding the pipe bomb case, hoping to bring much needed clarity on this subject to the American people.”

Lawmakers pilloried the FBI in a January report for the security failures surrounding the pipe bombs and the “chaotic response of federal law enforcement after their discovery,” Just the News previously reported. They also criticized the bureau for failing to provide “substantive updates” to Congress about the status of its investigation into the two bombs. 

The congressional panel also raised questions about how the FBI determined that both pipe bombs were “viable” explosive devices given that both were equipped with 60-minute kitchen timers, but were allegedly planted approximately 16 hours before they were discovered.

So, That’s What 300 FBI Agents Were Doing on Capitol Grounds on January 6

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has been cagey regarding its activities on January 6. The allegation that undercover operatives were embedded in the crowd during the riot isn’t tin foil hat material—the bureau admitted it. The inspector general tried to deny it, but there was no spinning this. The FBI had agents on the ground, some of whom entered the Capitol Building. Now, we’ve learned that there were hundreds of agents on the ground this week, around 275. FBI Director Kash Patel had to clarify what the FBI was doing over the weekend, and former FBI Director Chris Wray might be hauled before Congress again. Mr. Patel said that agents were dispatched for crowd control (via Fox News): 

The FBI responded on Saturday to a report that 274 plainclothes agents were at the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, clarifying the role of bureau personnel while still blasting former Director Christopher Wray. 

While the agents were on hand, they were sent in after the riot had begun to try to control the unruly crowd, officials told Fox News Digital. That is not the proper role of FBI agents, and Wray was not forthcoming about what happened when he testified numerous times on Capitol Hill, Director Kash Patel said. 

“Agents were sent into a crowd control mission after the riot was declared by Metro Police – something that goes against FBI standards,” Patel told Fox News Digital. “This was the failure of a corrupt leadership that lied to Congress and to the American people about what really happened.” 

He added, “Thanks to agents coming forward, we are now uncovering the truth. We are fully committed to transparency, and justice and accountability continues with this FBI.” 

[…] 

Wray told a House Committee on Nov. 15, 2023, “If you are asking if the violence at the Capitol was part of some operation orchestrated by FBI sources or agents, the answer is no,” but he wouldn’t disclose if any agents or sources were embedded within the crowd.

Former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund Reveals He Was NEVER Told About FBI’s 274 Plainclothes Agents in Jan. 6 Crowd – Despite Meeting with Agencies the Night Before

The cover-up just got exposed.

Former Chief of the U.S. Capitol Police, Steven Sund, revealed in an interview with John Fawcett on The Great America Show Friday night that he was never told by the FBI that hundreds of their agents were deployed inside the Jan. 6 crowds.

How is it possible that the top cop in charge of protecting the U.S. Capitol, the man responsible for securing Congress, was left in the dark about something this massive?

On Thursday night, the FBI finally admitted that it had 274 plainclothes agents inside the massive Trump crowds on January 6, 2021 — hundreds more than previously reported.

The Blaze reported that congressional sources claimed this was “not necessarily a surprise,” since the FBI often embeds counter-surveillance personnel at large events. But what is shocking is the FBI’s steadfast refusal for years to disclose their true level of presence at the Capitol.

Even worse, the U.S. Department of Justice’s Inspector General declared in an 88-page report released in December 2024 that the FBI had “no undercover employees” inside the Jan. 6 crowds. That claim now looks like another brazen lie.

Former FBI Director Chris Wray lied and lectured House Republicans for accusing the FBI of planting informants/operatives/agents inside the massive crowd of Trump supporters on January 6, 2021.

FBI Director Christopher Wray testified before Congress in July 2023 that he “does not believe” undercover FBI agents were present at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Wray’s statement came during a tense exchange with Representative Andy Biggs (R-AZ), who specifically asked about the number of undercover agents in the Capitol vicinity on the infamous day.

“I’m not sure there were undercover agents on scene,” Wray responded to Biggs. “As I sit here right now, I do not believe there were undercover agents on.”

Biggs wrote on Twitter that “Wray will be held accountable for this lie.”

CHRIS WRAY LIED UNDER OATH! FBI Had 274 Plainclothes Agents in the Crowd on January 6th – IT WAS A TOTAL FEDSURRECTION

It appears that James Comey could have a familiar cellmate when he is finally sent to prison for lying under oath to Congress and the American people.

Former FBI Director Chris Wray lied and lectured House Republicans for accusing the FBI of planting informants/operatives/agents inside the massive crowd of Trump supporters on January 6, 2021.

In a bold statement that directly contradicts multiple official sources, FBI Director Christopher Wray testified before Congress in July 2023 that he “does not believe” undercover FBI agents were present at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Wray’s statement came during a tense exchange with Representative Andy Biggs (R-AZ), who specifically asked about the number of undercover agents in the Capitol vicinity on the infamous day.

Wray stated that he could not provide such a figure and even expressed doubt about the presence of undercover agents at all.

“I’m not sure there were undercover agents on scene,” Wray responded to Biggs. “As I sit here right now, I do not believe there were undercover agents on.”

Biggs wrote on Twitter that “Wray will be held accountable for this lie.”

“FBI Director Wray just told me he “does not believe” there were any undercover FBI agents in or around the U.S. Capitol on January 6. This claim has been already debunked—including by the former U.S. Capitol Police Chief,” Biggs added.

Left-wing gun group posts flyers in D.C. with same anti-fascist message from Kirk assassination

A left-wing gun club plastered recruitment flyers around Georgetown University that include the message “Hey Fascist! Catch!” — the same phrase written on ammunition linked to the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

The message was found on dark red flyers from the John Brown Gun Club, a gun-rights group that was founded to militarize the white working class and spur it toward a social-justice revolution.

“The only political group that celebrates when Nazis die,” the club flyer says, which includes a QR code that links to a web page that says, “We’re building a community that’s done with ceremonial resistance and strongly worded letters. If you want to make a real change in your community, let us know below.”

Georgetown University said the flyers had been removed.

“The university is investigating this incident and working to ensure the safety of our community,” the school said.

John Brown Gun Club members can sometimes be spotted carrying firearms at liberal oriented events. They say they provide security against conservative counter-protesters.

Recently, the group has been involved in violent clashes with federal ICE officers who are attempting to arrest illegal immigrants.

Report: Club Flyer Celebrating Charlie Kirk’s Assassination Found At Georgetown University Campus

club flyer reportedly posted at Georgetown University celebrates the assassination of Charlie Kirk and invites individuals to join its threatening efforts to forgo “ceremonial resistance and strongly worded letters.”

On Wednesday, The Charlie Kirk Show executive producer Andrew Kolvet posted a photograph of what appears to be a flyer from the John Brown Club on a bulletin board at the Washington, D.C.-based university. The sign reads, “Hey, Fascist! Catch! The only political group that celebrates when Nazis die.”

The phrase “Hey, Fascist! Catch!” is a reference to an engraving on one of the bullet casings that Kirk’s alleged killer had planned to use in his attack on the conservative thinker during his Sept. 10 speaking event at Utah Valley University. As witnessed throughout the past several years, left-wing propagandists have often used such harmful smears (“Nazis” and “fascists”) against mainstream conservatives for the purpose of incitement to violence.

Also included on the flyer is a QR code, which, when scanned, takes users to a Google Forms page with a note that reads, “We’re building a community that’s done with ceremonial resistance and strongly worded letters. If you want to make a real change in your community, let us now [sic] below.”
