13. Dan "Bongo" Bongino was all wrong

From the NYT:
"Conspiracy theories have often filled the void left by the lack of an arrest, many of them centered on the belief that the pipe bombs were put in place as part of a plot by deep-state law enforcement and intelligence officials intended to discredit President Trump and his supporters. Among those who have promoted those theories was Dan Bongino, a former right-wing podcaster who now serves as the deputy director of the F.B.I.

On his show last November, Mr. Bongino said the pipe bombs were left as part of an “inside job” that the F.B.I. was protecting with a “massive cover-up.”

“This was a setup,” he added. “I have zero doubt.”"

Guess not.
