FBI lab report, contradictory witness statement inject fresh mystery in unsolved J6 pipe bomb case
[JustTheNews] The devices had destructive potential but never went off despite being reportedly planted 16 hours ahead of time set with one hour timers. And one witness told investigators that at least one of the bombs may not have been planted the night before.

#1  The FBI seems to have difficulty solving cases perpetrated by Feds that might implicate important institutions. That’s why they should be shut down.

#2  I'll go out on a limb here and suggest they are crooked bastards with permanent membership in the Deep State

#3  I'd check with Darren Beattie formerly with Revolver and now with Trump's State Dept. He was all over this when it happened. Most likely he has good intel on this. Probably has already provided it.

#4  I read Beattie’s stuff. The case looks easily solvable. It won’t be. That tells the tale.

#5  Having gone to great lengths to not solve the case, it would be a shame to give up now.

#6  The FBI is best at deletion, concealment, and distortion of evidence from criminal cases.

#7  Safety first devices that could not detonate-the absolute clue that these were props not actual explosive devices-made in a government lab for use in a diversionary ploy to divert resources and justify suspension of ongoing Congressional proceedings.

"But most notably, the FBI laboratory report never uses the word “viable” to describe either bomb. "

"When properly assembled and initiated, an IED of this sort can cause property damage, bodily injury, or death,"

President Trump Calls Out FBI for Placing 274 Agents in J6 Crowd - Demands to Know Who They Were? - The Last Refuge
[THECONSERVATIVETREEHOUSE] TRUTH SOCIAL — ''It was just revealed that the FBI had secretly placed, against all Rules, Regulations, Protocols, and Standards, 274 FBI Agents into the Crowd just prior to, and during, the January 6th Hoax. This is different from what Director Christopher Wray stated, over and over again! That's right, as it now turns out, FBI Agents were at, and in, the January 6th Protest, probably acting as Agitators and Insurrectionists, but certainly not as ''Law Enforcement Officials.''

I want to know who each and every one of these so-called ''Agents'' are, and what they were up to on that now ''Historic'' Day. Many Great American Patriots were made to pay a very big price only for the love of their Country. I owe this investigation of ''Dirty Cops and Crooked Politicians'' to them! Christopher Wray, the then Director of the FBI, has some major explaining to do. That's two in a row, Comey and Wray, who got caught LYING, with our Great Country at stake. WE CAN NEVER LET THIS HAPPEN TO AMERICA AGAIN!''

#1  To my understanding, those 274 were people that they considered useless to their purposes. It sounds like it was originally intended to make it look like they were doing something, then it became better to pretend that they had not been involved. Surprising that none of them talked, but that speaks to their character and the original assessment that they were the equivalent of Star Trek Red shirts on a landing party.

#2  "President Donald Trump, in an exclusive interview Sunday with NBC News, accused former FBI Director Christopher Wray of “inappropriate” behavior during his tenure and said he “would think” the Justice Department is investigating him."

#1  Certainly, there will be some chaos associated with replacing entire offices of the DOJ particularly with regard to continuity of cases, but I imagine that much of what they were working was detrimental to the country in the first place.

#2  The judge who will be hearing the case is U.S. District Judge Michael Nachmanoff, A Biden Auto_pen appointee (?). I hope he is a guy who believes in justice and the law and not someone who is bought.

WI Republican Linked To Explicit Trans Account Pushed RCV
[THEFEDERALIST] A Wisconsin RINO who appears to have a penchant for ''sexually explicit'' material — and a connection to a trans porn site — has dropped out of the Badger State governor's race.

Whitefish Bay businessman Bill Berrien, who also had a past dalliance with the disastrously kinky election method known as ranked-choice voting, quit Friday following reports linking the candidate to several ''sexually explicit accounts'' on social media. He apparently connected to said accounts through the platform Medium, where he followed Jiz Lee, a ''trans'' sex peddler, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported earlier this week.
Just as well — that kind of thing doesn’t fly in today’s Republican Party. Are we sure he was not a Democratic plant?
reportedly followed ''publications'' on Medium such as ''Sexography,'' which bills itself as ''An inclusive place for people to talk about and explore #sexuality from all orientations, cultures, and perspectives.''

'VERY INTELLECTUALLY CURIOUS'
Announcing his decision to leave the race, Berrien said his campaign was ''gaining traction'' until ''the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel published this week two articles clearly targeted to force me out of the race.''

It's all a misunderstanding, the former candidate claimed after his connections to many of the ''sexually explicit social media accounts'' were reportedly scrubbed. He's a ''very intellectually curious'' guy. He said he listens to podcasts and is ''constantly trying to take in new information, trying to learn something new.'' To that end, Berrien said he follows more than 5,000 people across many platforms, subscribes to more than 100 newsletters, and has liked ''perhaps 20,000 different articles or postings.''

''I thought it was a strength to read very widely and show a broad intellectual interest,'' Berrien wrote in his farewell. ''[T]he media cherry-picked a handful of individuals and written articles that came across my feed that I then followed (without the faintest clue as to an author's lifestyle choices!) 6 or 7 years ago —''

''Lee, the trans porn star — has been on Medium since 2015 and has 1,500 followers,'' the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. Lee only has one post on Medium from 2015 titled ''Ethical Porn Starts When We Pay for It,'' an article for which Berrien reportedly expressed support on the platform. Lee's Medium page currently ''directs people to [his] personal website,'' which is updated ''fairly regularly.''

Berrien's campaign officials confirmed to the Journal Sentinel that the former candidate set up his Medium account in 2018 but used it ''rarely'' since 2019. However,
a clean conscience makes a soft pillow...
his spectrum of learning apparently took Berrien to ''Polyamory Today,'' a forum that celebrates multiple sexual partners, presumably outside their primary relationship.

On Tuesday, Lee, who ''identifies'' as nonbinary, posted an angry message on Bluesky above an article on Berrien.

''It's okay to follow trans porn stars. It's okay to read articles about sex and relationships. What's not okay is the hypocrisy of backing forceful legislation that restricts what people, trans and otherwise, can do with their own bodies. That is shameful,'' scolded the porn pusher.

#1  Many politicians seem to have pretty twisted personal lives. RINOs seem to have some extremely twisted members to the point where Don Lemon is even creeped out.

#2  I met Berrien several years ago and he seemed to be an upright guy, but one never knows all the inner workings of a person in that short of a timeframe.
