The FBI released new videos Tuesday that investigators said show the person suspected of planting two pipe bombs the night before the January riot at the Capitol.

"These pipe bombs were viable devices that could have been detonated, resulting in injury or death. We need the public's help to identify the individual responsible for placing these pipe bombs, to ensure they will not harm themselves or anyone else," said Steven D'Antuono, the assistant director in charge of the FBI's Washington field office.

The FBI said the bombs were planted between 7:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. ET Jan. 5, outside the national offices of the Republican National Committee and the Democratic National Committee. Both are a few blocks from the Capitol.

The newly released videos show the suspect walking on the sidewalk a few blocks from the Capitol, then stopping to put down the backpack before beginning to walk again. Other scenes show the person sitting down on a park bench and walking down an alley.

2. Twitterverse is dissecting it

3. Is There Any Talk About Who Discovered The Pipe Bombs And/Or Who Reported Them.....

If they were planted as a diversion - could it be that the person that reported them - was the one that planted them and just wanted to draw the attention away from the Capitol?

4. The most prominent issue hiding in plain sight is BOTH parties targeted

Makes me wonder if this might involve very high level planning for the insurrection because it would provide cover for the idea it was a right wing operation. 'Oh look, both parties were targeted! So the riot just happened spontaneously, chaos and terror, martial law ... we'll just have to start a 2nd term to protect America!'

6. RoJo's Opinion

Hopefully this joyful and festive individual can be identified!

[BigmanPigman]

7. He wore sneakers that looked pretty "special"

or unique. Someone should be able to use that to identify him.

13. him? my mom thought it walked like a woman. i agree

[global1]

14. My First Reaction When I Saw The Video Was That....

it was a female.

[BigmanPigman]

17. I wrote on two other threads that I also believe it could be a woman.

I noticed the way he/she walked on the sidewalk and sat down on the bench. The movements look like a female to me. Walking away he does have broader shoulders than hips so that part seems "male" but the rest seems "female".

18. maybe a woman who works out

20. Are they for men, women or both.

Many people think the person is a female.

[Celerity]

21. Men, but a woman could size down if they had large enough feet. I highly doubt the bomber is female.

8. i watched the video at the link on my laptop

and when this person is walking in front of those houses the way they walked made me think of the way i've seen women walk in high heels

so now i'm wondering if this is a woman

9. Or the shoes were not the correct size.

There certainly was some kind of a deal with the shoes at that point. Yes.
