The FBI is reupping its call for information about an unsolved case that has vexed the agency for years: the planting of bombs outside the Democratic National Committee and Republican National Committee headquarters the night before the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.

The agency released several new security camera videos of the still-unidentified suspect on Wednesday, offering up a more complete visual timeline of the person's movements on foot in Washington, D.C., both before and after the pipe bombs were placed.

The previously unreleased tape includes several videos of the person walking toward the DNC headquarters, where a bomb was placed at around 7:54 p.m. Eastern Time on Jan. 5, 2021. The FBI also showed new footage of the person walking toward the RNC moments before planting a bomb there at 8:16 p.m.

The suspect was last seen on tape two minutes later.

1. So

Google eyes has an AI video of Obama planting the bombs. Sure, we can all trust this is real, after years of silence, with these trustworthy clowns.

[Prairie Gates]

3. Why does it have a spooky soundtrack? They have some dipshit film producer making these for the FBI?

[Prairie Gates]

2. Trump tried to bribe MTG with the Santos commutation, but she's still on her Epstein shit

This is Trump and Patel turning up the heat on her.

Listen, it doesn't matter whether it is her or not (I don't think it is). All that matters to the Trumpies is that the suggestion that it's her is out there on the wire, so this video turns negative attention her way again. They are trying to get her to dump her Epstein vote, This is super aggressive.

[UpInArms]

8. GMTA

That was my first thought …

Turning the screws on empty greene

[LiberalArkie]

20. A shot across the bow at MTG

[JT45242]

27. she's way too short ...

She might know who it is but she is 5'3"

[Prairie Gates]

39. From unedited OP: "Listen, it doesn't matter whether it is her or not (I don't think it is)"

[Polybius]

38. She's not 5'7, she's 5'3

Only CT fools believed it was her anyway.

[58Sunliner]

4. Why don't we just ask Trump?

[bucolic_frolic]

5. All the retracing of steps suggests doubt in the suspect's mind

They were a loooooooooong time releasing an estimate of height.

[Irish_Dem]

6. FBI knew the height, weight, gender right away.

But refused to release this information.

[Irish_Dem]

7. Either that or they were stalling for some reason.

Waiting for a signal from a partner to go ahead.
Or waiting for the coast to be clear.
Or co-ordinating other crimes occurring at the same time.

[bucolic_frolic]

11. Were the glasses a communications device?

Someone or some entity wanted to disrupt J6 more than it was. Who, why? Hardly seems like a lone wolf undertaking. Who put this suspect up to it? Where did they find such a stooge willing to do this? Lots of questions.

[Irish_Dem]

13. I think the plan was to divert LE to the bomb site.

Away from the J6 site.

So the timing was crucial.

Highly unlike it was a lone wolf operation.
It was part of the J6 insurrection plan.

Kamala Harris passed by that site and could have been killed.
Perhaps that was the original plan.
She was a direct threat to the GOP.

Same group who disconnected the Dem Congress office panic buttons.
The plan had been to assault Dem female members of congress.

[bucolic_frolic]

14. If it had been someone who lived in the area

this would have been solved long ago. So could be someone from far away. Even foreign. They're ostensibly seeking the suspect, but locally it's the conspirator(s) they're really seeking.

Discussions on DU about this going on 5 years. As if crimes are actually solved by public speculation. DU Conspiracy Corner of amateur sleuths.

[Irish_Dem]

18. We know who planned the J6 insurrection. It is public knowledge.

Trump, his advisers, and sitting members of congress met in public and private.

So it is likely someone in that group, or someone they knew and trusted.

There are no secrets in DC, it is a small closed loop.
I think they know who this person is.

Don't laugh, but amateur groups have solved crimes.

[bucolic_frolic]

19. And that's the purpose of Devil's advocate interrogation

to get great minds to talk! See how that worked?

[travelingthrulife]

21. Sure makes the FBI look incompetent

[Irish_Dem]

22. Yes.

They knew fairly quickly the gender, height, weight of the perp.
The FBI has sophisticated equipment which can determine this kind of thing.
And experts who evaluate video for such data.

Yet the FBI made none of that public.

If they had started making arrests or at least interrogating
those they know are responsible for J6, one of them would have
started naming names.

It was a slam dunk investigation.

The FBI either knows who the perp is, or completely bungled the investigation.

[Shipwack]

23. It takes a lot of effort to be that incompetent.

I’ve seen variations of this phrase several times today…

[hlthe2b]

17. I wondered about that too.

[hlthe2b]

16. Yeah, I wondered about that.

I suppose they may be just scoping to see "who" and "what" is watching, but... They clearly didn't care or perhaps recognize all the various street cameras--although there is no capture of their face--even with the mask.

[reACTIONary]

25. I don't thinks so....

.... I. Think it was a deliberate attempt to create a confused trail. I think this person knew exactly what s/he was doing and planned it carefully.

[hlthe2b]

9. Pretty close to Stephen Miller's (actual) height and build... hmmm

Now, I certainly don't want hundreds of thousands of concerned citizens reporting HIM to FBI. No way...

[JT45242]

28. doubt he could walk that far without stopping to eat some roaches or rats ala Renfro in Dracula

just saying

[IronLionZion]

10. Mental illness with no political agenda

[live love laugh]

12. B6 did it ... the black and white shoes were the giveaway.

[lastlib]

15. Ka$h P. hasn't shut this down??

After all, it was just a "peaceful tourist" dropping a Care package.....

If he hasn't shut it down, surely Pam "EvaBlonde" Blondie will.......

[50 Shades Of Blue]

24. They must reeeeeaaaaally want to pin it on someone specific.

[reACTIONary]

31. If they pin it on someone....

... it HAS to be someone specific.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

34. Thanks for reminding me why I often hesitate to post.

[reACTIONary]

36. You should never hesitate to post! I, for one, appreciate...

.... your posts and your participation.

And you have a lot more posts,than I do!

[JT45242]

26. 5 foot 7 is 4 inches to tall for MTG...

Would seem that gait analysis of the Jan 6 rioters might find some good suspects.

[Vinca]

29. I'm sure it was just a tourist who accidently dropped something.

[poli-junkie]

30. Suspect is a male.

Flat chested. Walks carefully (small/short steps) cuz carrying bombs.

[kacekwl]

32. I would not

trust anything coming out of the FBI right now.

[reACTIONary]

33. This clears up a problem with my own pet theory....

.... Because of the timing, targets and the way this was executed, my pet theory is that a black-block type anarchist individual or cell was responsible.

The one fact that was counter indicative to this theory was the speculation that the suspect was caring a cell phone and actually took it out and consulted it at one point. There was no cell phone trace for the suspect, which aligns with my speculation, but an anarchist would not carry a cell phone during such an operation.

In this most recent narrative, the suspect is now represented as taking out a pare of glasses, standing on tip-toe, and surveying the area - not using a cell phone. Examining the video sequence it look like this is the correct interpretation. It fits in with the absence of cell phone data, and it indicates a more careful approach to opsec.

[OrwellwasRight]

35. Two thoughts

1) I don't understand why the FBI posted this. i thought no crimes were committed that day? Everyone convicted was wrongly convicted and all the FBI agents involved in the J6 investigations have been fired or transferred, no? So how can they be looking for a suspect? Just to give the President someone else to pardon? I'm confused.

2) I have a tip for them if they really are looking for suspects. Look at ICE agents. They wear masks on their faces, wear civilian clothing, and seem to enjoy hurting people. So I'd begin there.

[tanyev]

37. Well, if it's not MTG, then they should start looking at new ICE agents that match that description.

Just sayin’.
