A Washington Post article from 1/29/21 says the bomb behind the RNC was discovered first. Maybe the resident named in this article discovered it a little sooner than what was planned.

The bomb behind the RNC was discovered on Jan. 6 at around 12:45 p.m., about 90 minutes before rioters entered the Capitol. Resident Karlin Younger was on her way to do laundry when she spotted something unusual on the ground between a recycling bin and a rat trap. Younger said in an interview that she bent down to inspect the device, which was attached to what appeared to her to be a kitchen timer. The timer was set to 20 minutes, she said. She did not hear any ticking and could not tell if the timer was active. She alerted a nearby security guard, who she said inspected the device and then notified law enforcement.

The device was considered “live,” meaning it contained viable explosive material, according to Steven Blando, a spokesman for the Washington Field Division of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. It was disarmed at the site, Blando told The Post.

Around 1:15 p.m., officials have said, the second bomb was discovered several blocks away next to a bench outside the DNC. It, too, was live and was disarmed on site, Blando said.

Two duds? Something as simple as a black powder pipe bomb?
They weren't meant to go off. Just create a distraction.

Pipe wired to large timing devises in open view. Could have been hidden with newspaper and rocks or a box or bag.

So he studied a video of the person that dropped off the bombs; and the video where the rioters began chanting to kill Mike Pence?

If so, then the J6 video must have provided enough details to identify the individual

I've always suspected that vid was of a woman. If she was embedded in the J6 mob and orchestrated the hanging chants, there's plenty of photographs available to test the theory.

Until then? Still a mystery and unproven theory (as far as we know, that is).

I'm usually deeply amused by "We solved it, Reddit!" stuff on the internet, but this conspiracy theory thread is pretty cringe. The guy's a professional, but comes off like an internet rando trying hard to sound like he knows what he's saying. Just assertion after assumption after speculation without supporting evidence.

It was a fun read, though.
