Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsDoes anyone remember how the bombs at the DNC and RNC
were found and why they did not detonate? It seems that this attempted bombing is not being given enough coverage on this anniversary. I also wonder how a scaffold with a hangman's noose was erected at the capitol. Somethings were obviously very pre-planned and are not being disclosed in this investigation.

(31,941 posts)It was a noose hanging from a beam which was not "life sized". It was small and "symbolic" and could not be used in real life. No one will investigate that because it is not a crime.
I think the FBI is embarrassed they have not been able to find the person who put the bombs (if they actually were real). So they have quietly let that go unless they stumble on the person in the future somehow.

Our premier law enforcement agency?
Many believe the identity is known to FBI.
If it was a nobody, we would know that info by now.
If it was a member of Congress, releasing the info is more problematic.

The bombs were disabled before they exploded, but Steve D'Antuono, the FBI's lead agent in Washington, D.C., says they were made to be lethal.
He goes on to explain why they don't know who it is, since the bomber wore a hoodie, mask and glasses, among other things.
He's been with the FBI for 26 years. He started during the Clinton administration:

You believe he is a liar, is that correct?

(8,387 posts)Okay, you believe that guy is lying. No need to get touchy about it.
The government has lied about all kinds of things in the course of history. The government has probably told the truth about a whole lot more.
If you think the Biden administration is lying about this, thats fine. Thats your opinion. It just seems odd for the lead agent to go on television last night and continue to ask foe help.

(8,387 posts)The FBI pictures show that they had one-hour mechanical kitchen timers on them. It's a crude way of providing a maximum of up to one hour of delay.
Kinda weird to plant a bomb in the night on January 5 with a one-hour timer on it, if the idea is that it is supposed to go off sometime the next day.
