GOP Congressman Alleges Government Coverup in January 6 Pipe Bomb Incident
Republican Congressman Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky) has raised serious concerns regarding the handling of the purported pipe bombs placed outside the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Republican National Committee (RNC) prior to the Capitol riot. Massie, a member of the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, believes that there may have been a coverup and suggested potential involvement of law enforcement in planting the bombs.
Massie, who examined thousands of hours of video footage and other evidence from January 6, asserted that the bombs could be the subject of an ongoing coverup. He questioned why Democrats, who have emphasized the severity of the events on January 6, have not highlighted the two operable pipe bombs as a significant threat.
In an interview with The Daily Wire, Massie expressed concern about the lack of promotion of the pipe bomb threat, considering its potential severity. Video footage identified by Massie shows law enforcement officers reacting nonchalantly after being notified of the pipe bomb, raising questions about their response.
The Congressman pointed to the fact that Kamala Harris, then soon-to-be vice president, was in the building at the time of the pipe bomb incident. However, the video shows officers behaving casually in the vicinity, even letting children walk past the area. Massie wants to know why a Secret Service sweep before Harris’s entry did not detect the pipe bomb situated only 30 feet away.
The Democrat-led January 6 committee, chaired by Rep. Bennie Thompson, did not extensively mention the pipe bombs in its final report, raising further questions about the handling of this sensational aspect of the day.
Security cameras captured a person apparently planting the bomb on the night of January 5. However, the quality of the video footage turned over by the DNC was notably lower than expected.
The FBI stated that the bombs were “viable” but connected to a 60-minute kitchen timer, making it impossible to trigger an explosion the next day. Massie, an engineer, challenged this assertion, stating that a kitchen timer does not create an electrical impulse and would require a battery to ignite.
