For our "friends" here who want us to believe the FBI is engaged in a cover-up which, interestingly, aligns with RW talking points about the FBI...

New Head of FBI's Washington Field Office Shares Updates on Hunt for Jan. 6 Pipe Bomber


"It remains that the person who placed these pipe bombs, which were viable devices left in a residential area, is hard to identify, wearing non-descript clothing, including a mask, a hood and gloves," Sundberg said.

...

The video shows the same person in the alley behind the RNC where one bomb was found, and in the area where the second bomb was found outside the DNC. They can be seen wearing a hooded sweatshirt and distinct Air Max Nike sneakers

Sundberg says that the FBI has poured through tens of thousands of clues.

"It has been thorough for more than 2 years now," he said. "We’ve received in excess of 500 tips from the public, we’ve conducted 1,000+ interviews, we've looked at 39,000 segments of video."

1. Have they nailed down the whereabouts of SporkFoot

during the time when the bombs were placed? That would be a good place to start.

2. Wasn't it MTG ?

[Takket]

4. no,it was not. and i wish people would stop pushing this here

NOTHING connects MTG to this event. NOTHING. it started because a grainy photo showed that her shoes kind of looked like the bombers shoes, a notion completely discredited when the FBI released a picture of the shoes the bombers actually wore (sneakers, not any kind of dress shoe). There was also an absurd video showing the bomber and green both swinging their arm when they walked (news flash: everyone swings their arm when they walk.)

Grainy photo:



Here's the actual shoes:

10. My intuition

is pretty good. As for the evidence , the shoe and the footage in the park are a joke to me. If they have the shoe, how did they get it without knowing who owns it? Abandoned shoes are not evidence, so where did the shoes come from? My gut tells me they should be looking at the congressional inductees who asked for pardons. That would include Empty Green.

11. I'll have what you're smoking

They know what shoe it is because they are not looking at fuzzy pictures selected by people pushing a stupid narrative.

Instead, they looked at surveillance frames where you can clearly see the shoe.



You know, the FBI has a whole bunch of actual information about this crime, which doesn't make your intuition look very good.

The unknown individual wore a face mask, glasses, gloves, a grey hooded sweatshirt, and black and light grey Nike Air Max Speed Turf shoes with a yellow logo.

12. What? They don't have any shoes

The shoes are in the CCTV

3. They need to check MTG's cell phone to see if she was in these locations

5. +1

7. Looks like same shoes and pants, falling at same area on foot.

6. NBC needs a better AI writing its stories: "pored", not "poured". . . nt

[niyad]

13. Thank you. Saved me the trouble.

[hibbing]

8. 39.000 segments of video

And they can't seem to determine where this person came from? He/she just shows up on the video with no other traces? No getting out of a car, no metro video, no nothing. Heck, I feel I'm on video all the time in my little town, grocery store parking lot, driving through intersections, ATMs, and so on, they are practically everywhere, but I guess clothes can be changed ..shrug

Peace

9. I watched the video...

...but have to listen to the audio later. I found it very interesting near the end of the video they showed some "B" roll of a woman walking with a backpack and a cell phone in her back pocket. I've long thought one of the clues this this was a woman is the fact the person put their cell phone in their back pocket in one of the security cam videos. The footwear they'd showed also looks like a smaller size. The FBI may not be able to say exactly who this is, but I'm thinking they are closer than they're saying.

ETA: I don't think this Taylor-Greene

14. She also asked for a pardon and many people think she's the DC pipe bomber.
