Ever wonder what happened with the Jan 6th pipe bomber?

I had no idea about this--

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/

It was likely a woman wearing mens sneakers and sweats.

Move along.Just read where the Senate (aka Tom Cotton) killed a bill that would protect reporters from government harassment. What does this remind you of?

Democrats never purge these of the moles, so the infection has been growing since Koch and Buchanan began executing their plan to take over government.

This is the excerpt where he mentions the corrupted geofence data:

The alleged perpetrator uses a cell phone. Where -- that produced nothing; it's a geofence of data cell phone records?

Mr. D'Antuono. So the -- there's a lot of phone data that came in. Yes, I've
seen the same video. I've watched the same video. We put out the same video. It
looks like a phone. Was it a real phone, a not a real phone, was it a ruse? Was it
a -- you know, I picked up my phone several times at meetings going, oh, yeah, I got to
take this call, and walk out, right. The phone's not on, right. So was the person just
sitting there trying to pretend like they're on a bench taking a phone call? We don't
know until we find the person, right, and ask them those questions.
We did a complete geofence. We have complete data. Not complete, because
there's some data that was corrupted by one of the providers, not purposely by them,
right. It just -- unusual circumstance that we have corrupt data from one of the
providers. I'm not sure -- I can't remember right now which one. But for that day,
which is awful because we don't have that information to search. So could it have been
that provider? Yeah, with our luck, you know, with this investigation it probably was,
right. So maybe if we did have that -- that data wasn't corrupted -- and it wasn't
purposely corrupted. I don't want any conspiracy theories, right. To my knowledge, it
wasn't corrupted, you know, but that could have been good information that we don't
have, right. So that is painful for us to not to have that. So we looked at everything.

Also I never understood why they couldn't get any clues from the bomb itself. Like I thought that's what the FBI was good at.
