THREAD: Since a lot of folks are noting that they found Mangione a lot faster than they found the J6 pipe bomber, I thought I'd remind everyone about a few crucial tidbits about the pipe bomber investigation. 1/

First, do y'all remember how Trump's DHS Inspector General hid the fact that the Secret Service deleted their text messages from Congress until it was too late to recover them? That IG's name is Cuffari. He wrote up the report on the pipe bomber. 2/

Jamie Raskin has sent a letter to Biden asking him to fire Cuffari for lying to Congress about being previously swept up in a federal investigation into his conduct as a law enforcement officer. But that's not all. 3/

You know how I always talk about how trump holdovers in the FBI hamstrung Garland's early probe into Donald Trump in 2021 by refusing to execute his search warrants on members of Congress and architects of the coup? So much so that Garland went to the post office cops to get his warrants? 4/

Well, that guy - named D'Antuono - testified to congress that *somehow*, the geolocation data for the cell phone carried by the pipe bomber was "corrupted," and that's why they couldn't catch him. Weird. 5/

So two of the people involved in this were Trump holdovers at the FBI and DHS that are basically giant piles of shit. But I'm sure it's a total coincidence. END/

(58,803 posts)I believe the identity of the J6 bomber is known, and that person is being protected for various reasons.
Just like the identity of those who gave Capital tours the day before J6 and those who removed the Dem office
panic buttons, etc.

Why did Trump watch TV for 3 hours during the insurrection?
What was he waiting for?
Waiting for the bombs to go off?

(6,053 posts)and you make an excellent point about whether the plot had various "trigger" moments that plotters knew about and were supposed to respond to. Like Grassley. Like Stone. Like Bannon. Like Tarrio. Like Elmer Fudd. Like other members of the Oafs and the rest. So when the "trigger" for Donald Crumb to declare an emergency/martial law didn't come he knew to back down and call people off because the event didn't happen.
Remember how they tried to wheel away Pence? Remember how various Senators and Representatives were on the phone with Crumb during that 3 hour period. So were they giving him updates about how the implementation of the plot was going? Pence refusing to leave may have been a big "problem" because then Grassley couldn't try to jump in and then "accept" the phony electors certificates.
Pence not leaving seemed to plug things up big time and remember how insistent some of those around him were that he get in the vehicle? Sounds like there was damned near a fight about it. It would be interesting to see the phone records for calls to Crumb, Stone, Bannon and the rest right after Pence refused to leave. But of course we won't ever see those records now and see who was the "eyes and ears" for Crumb etc. at that moment in the Capitol Building that day. We generally know of one or two that admitted to calling in general about the breach at the Capitol but I'm suspecting the usual ones like Gym and some of the others were "tasked" ahead of time.
