1. Just imagine what was really being planned by Trump and his minions.

3. Wow they've done a shitty job covering it up

I mean, I’ve seen it covered a lot. But I guess this “journalist” just isn’t paying attention to all the video of the bomber that’s been circulating while they try to identify them.

[Effete Snob]

4. Yep

Like the post 9/11 anthrax thing, it seems to be that someone was intent on sowing additional chaos, perhaps merely opportunistically.

But it’s not solved, so we just don’t know. People have an urge to fill “we just don’t know” gaps with guesses of variable ultimate accuracy.

5. There's a cottage industry of Creative news speculation on Twitter

People trying to boost page views. And there are plenty of gullible people eager to help them out.

13. Thanks for providing journalism

Not idle speculation ignoring real reporting to promote conspiracy theories.

2. Trump incompetence cannot be praised enough.

6. The bomber has most surely been identified. The ID appears to be what's covered up.

Almost a year now.

Surveillance cameras everywhere.

Cel phone towers everywhere.

If the FBI hasn't identified that person, they ought to close shop and go home.

I believe they HAVE identified the person.

And if it were a NOBODY, we would have been told by now.

So, deductive reasoning allows us to think the bomber is NOT A NOBODY, but likely a MEMBER OF CONGRESS.

And someone is afraid to give that information to the American people.

8. THAT would be the bombshell

I've always thought the bombs were placed at the direction of high level people to create chaos. High level people usually have underling to do things for them. It just could not be a rogue operation, that wouldn't make any sense.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

11. So you don't have any evidences and are just speculating

Call me when someone identifies the blurry image and take the CT to creative speculation.

[Grasswire2]

14. No, I am exhibiting confidence that the FBI has the skills to identify a bomber..

....after clear video has been available from multiple cameras for almost a year now.

What would give you the idea that our top Law Enforcement agency would be so inadequate as to not be able to identify this person?

[onenote]

15. Can you link to the "clear video"?

[AZSkiffyGeek]

17. I wouldn't expect that

“It’s obvious” is apparently all the evidence needed here for conspiracy theories.

[Grasswire2]

18. clear enough for law enforcement, with all their software.

Please.

You're sounding silly. Or naive. Or something.

[onenote]

19. All of the video that's been released

Shows a person wearing a hoodie and a mask. Unlike what you see on TV, there isn't magic technology that can take that video and provide images revealing clear identifying information such as eye color, facial markings, even shape of face.

I'm pretty certain I'm not the one who is naive.

30. They've identified and charged many of the traitors using the same technology. nt

[Effete Snob]

33. And failed to identify others...

On top of using phone tracking data (and obviously the bomber wasn't carrying a phone), many of them were turned in by tips from the public and from people who recognized them on social media by the multiple clear unmasked face pictures, and the social media posts of the insurrectionists in the act.

Still, there are many key individuals which remain unidentified and at large.

To say "oh, they must know who the bomber is because they have rounded up a small subset of people from clear daylight pictures on social media" takes a special kind of determined ignorance.

28. What would give you the idea that our top Law Enforcement agency would fail to indict a criminal...

...when they had clear evidence?

[iemanja]

7. This 18 yr old got 22.5 years

for planning a school attack and having bomb parts. https://democraticunderground.com/100216136608
He didn't follow through with his plan because his grandmother turned him in.
Still, compare that to the light sentences the traitors are getting when they follow through with their plans.

9. Not the same event, this is the background info.......

[AZSkiffyGeek]

12. They've arrested the bomber and given them a light sentence?

Wow, I guess I was wrong and the news is covering it up!
Where can I find the identity of this bomber who got a light sentence?

[iemanja]

16. No need to be snippy

I made a mistake and confused this with the capitol attack. It was the same day after all.

[Grasswire2]

24. I support your response, here.

"snippy" -- unnecessary! -- is why some good people never come back to DU after a taste of snippy.

[blogslug]

20. It hasn't been "covered up". They just haven't named or arrested a suspect yet

That Twitterer is thirsty for clicks.

[doc03]

21. I don't think it has been covered up they just don't know. We know Lindsey Graham

also tried to get Georgia to turn over the election. Why is it they talk about Trump and Meadows doing it but
I have never heard anything more about Lindsey?

[brooklynite]

22. It's not being covered up...

The pipe bombs were discovered.

The DOJ is investigating.

A suspect has not been identified.

Until there’s a suspect who gets indicted, or more evidence to share with the public to help find the suspect is available, there’s nothing new to report. That’s not a”cover-up”.

[Grasswire2]

25. How do you know a suspect has not been identified?

Got a private line?

A suspect has not been made public.

We do not know if there has been an identification.

[brooklynite]

26. I said "a suspect to be INDICTED" OR "evidence to provide the public to help IDENTIFY a suspect"

[Kingofalldems]

23. Kick this one.

[Progressive Jones]

29. Even the ones who didn't get inside are treasonus trash. Their lives don't matter. nt

31. This is the woman who made that video.

34. Bullshit - How was this device set to go off at 1 PM the next day

Take a look at the pictures of the bombs released by the FBI:





They had plastic mechanical kitchen timers on them.

They were left the night before.

You can see right on the dial that these are one hour timers.

Anyone care to explain how a one-hour kitchen timer, set the night before, was going to close the contacts on those alligator clips more than twelve hours later?

The other thing to notice about the timers is that they aren't working. They are both still set at full scale. They could not have been placed at the same time, but they have the same full-scale remaining time on the timers.

These are not functional devices.

[Mad_Machine76]

35. Is it even being investigated?

There shouldn't be any reason why THAT isn't being looked into by the FBI.
