“Both devices’ conductors consisted of three lengths of red insulated multi-strand wires, one length of black insulated multi-strand wire, a 9-volt snap connector, two paper clips, and six alligator clips,” investigators determined.

The switches for both pipe bombs consisted of generic kitchen timers, a point that, according to Catherine Herridge, a senior investigative correspondent for CBS News, shows there isn’t any evidence that the pipe bombs had secondary methods of detonation.

“So for example, a cellphone, that would allow someone to detonate the device let’s say the following morning on Jan. 6,” she said on-air before referring to a former investigator with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives who said that “all of that suggests, because there was a 60-minute kitchen timer … that if they had been set they were designed to go off on Jan. 5.”

“It creates more questions as to if and how it was connected to the breach,” the reporter said.

Sounds pretty amateurish.

My question is : Would they have exploded?
Could they have exploded.? Or were they just props.?

You really think they will say they were fake and not keep this going as long as they can. All these investigations are is cover for not getting the stimulus done. They want some Pubs to join in before all the details come out and its all on them.

FBI Still Unable To Locate Capitol Hill Bomber, Releases New Footage


“At 7:40 p.m. on Jan. 5, the suspected bomber is seen standing in a residential neighborhood on South Capitol Street with the bag, which is briefly set on the ground as a man walking his dog passes by,” ABC News reported. “At 7:52 p.m., the person can be seen seated on a bench in front of the DNC, where the first pipe bomb was reportedly placed under a bush. The suspect appears to zip up a bag, stand up, and walk away.”

“At 8:14 p.m., the suspected bomber is seen in an alley near the RNC, where a second pipe bomb was found. Moments later, a security camera captures the suspect walking in front of the Capitol Hill Club, adjacent to the RNC and less than half a block from the Cannon House Office Building,” the outlet continued.

The FBI noted, in the days after the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, that the bombs were “viable devices” and that it was shocking that neither bomb detonated. The FBI’s assistant director in charge of the Washington Field Office reiterated those claims in a statement yesterday, again seeking the public’s help in locating the suspected bomber.

“These pipe bombs were viable devices that could have been detonated, resulting in serious injury or death.

See, when they word it like that, it just sounds like a team sat around a table trying to find a word, just the right one. "viable"..........hmmmm. "Shocking" they didnt go off? What were they missing? Was that lack intentional? I really want to see the reports, but we'll never get them. Like the Florida nutbag, they make no fear points with devices never meant to explode.
