Bizarre: CP officer who tipped of J6 participant to delete evidence was 1st to respond to pipe bombs

I can’t overstate how bizarre it is to be learning this detail a year and a half later (half way into the article).

The United States Capitol Police officer who is on trial for allegedly tipping off a J6 participant to delete evidence was the first to respond to the pipe bombs.

A professional criminal doesn't swan all around the crime scene in view of video cameras.

I wonder if the pipe bombs was an attempt to divert police attention away from the Capitol Building on 1/6.

ObamaNut wonders if this was part of Trump's plot to invoke the Insurrection Act.
Kamala Harris elect had been near the site of the pipe bombs.

I agree it is a viable theory.

If Trump could kill, kidnap, injure Pence, Pelosi or Harris, then marital law would be the next step.

So the pipe bombs would serve to distract the police/FBI on 1/6.
And form part of the rationale for Trump declaring marital law.

We now know 1/6 was planned and wider in scope than we knew at the time.

Marital law would have given Trump tremendous power.
And allowed him to cancel the inauguration of Biden most likely.

Of course the cop is no kind of Democrat. He strikes me as a displaced loyalty Trump cop - which should of course never be a thing.

Hmmm, when were those pipe bombs set? Any finger prints? Any evidence of tampering with those bombs?

January 6th was a conspiracy, imo. It involved Trump, Roger Stone, some Capitol officers, the Proud Boys, etc.

There's no doubt in my mind. There's way too much smoke.

Yes the pipe bombs served several purposes.

1. Draw the police and FBI away from the US Capitol Building on 1/6.

2. Kill, kidnap or injure Pence, Pelosi, Harris, then martial law would be the next step.

Multiple bombings became the zero and was convicted, he went on the lam while waiting sentencing in1980 and was captured by the FBI in1993.

Pretty damn peculiar that he friends a guy 2 days before the incident. And than just so happens to find the bombs..

Was he acting in concert with others?

Were the two bombs fully capable of detonating?

Not a coincidence in my mind.
