Authorities have released a still image showing the as yet unidentified person responsible for placing one pipe bomb in front of the Republican National Committee headquarters and another in front of the Democratic National Committee headquarters on Capitol Hill at 1:00 and 1:15 pm, respectively. Protesters became violent and breached the Capitol building around 2:00 pm.

The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to the suspect’s conviction.

The Metropolitan Police Department’s Bomb Squad Unit disabled both bombs. Besides a brief description of their straightforward mechanics, information on the bombs’ destructive potential and when they were scheduled to detonate haven’t been disclosed.

The Independent reports:

A source from the federal law enforcement confirmed to ABC News on Thursday that the suspected pipe bombs were active and could have caused “great harm.”

As rioters laid siege to Capitol, causing lawmakers to barricade themselves into offices, bomb technicians used water cannons to break the explosives apart and disable their functionality.

In the aftermath of the riots, the authorities arrested close to 70 people and implemented a 6 pm curfew on Washington, DC from Wednesday until Thursday morning.

Dozens of people have already been charged for their part in the insurrection, and the FBI said it had already received more than 4,000 tips through its website.

      1. Robert Müeller, Jim Comey, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Christopher Wray, Rob Rosenstein, Michael Horowitz, Bill Barr, and Andrew McCabe have ushered in the new level of competency, integrity, honesty, transparency and trust to the FBI.

    1. Ward , are you aware that antifa means you are ANTI FACIST. as in ANTI HITLER, ANTI IDI AMIN, ANTI MUSSOLINI. Are you promoting Fascism ? My father fought against fascism in WW2, did yours? Here is a definition of what you are promoting:
      Definition of fascism
      : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
      TRUMP IS A FASCIST and he can turn on you a heartbeat

      1. Lanny, are you AWARE what antifa has been doing in Portland, Salem, Seattle in WA & Oregon?
        Are you a troll or are you & those like you merely willfully ignorant?

        Dave

        1. he MUST be troll or paid OPS!! EVERYTHING WE SEE HERE HAS BEEN MARXIST/MOAIST/COMMUNIST/SOCIALIST COLOR REVOLUTION AND CHINESE CULTURE REVOLUTION PLAYBOOK! AND “ANTIFA” IS ANTIFACHISTICHE BROWN SHIRTS/STURMABTIELUNG OF GERMANY PLAYBOOK. THESE ARE HIRED “MERCENARIES” PUSHING FOR THE GLOBALISTS AND THE CENTRAL world BANK TO KEEP US EVEN MORE ENSLAVED THEN WE’D EVER BARED IN OUR LIFETIMES!!
          THE TECHNOCRATTII SILICON VALLEY ARE ALL COMPLICIT TO THIS AMERICA TAKE OVER!

      2. it may claim to be anti fascist, but when they use fascist tactics, fascist rhetoric, and fascist methods, and expound fascist beliefs, well, they are fascists.

        1. sounds like Lanny is somewhat ignorant of what things are obvious!!! i wonder what Lanny is smoking or chewing on!

      3. Lenny, you are apparently as dumb as a bag of rocks. Are you aware that some deluded men dress up as women (and some don’t even bother doing that!), and then demand to be called women, because they’ve decided that’s what they are? Just because violent, intolerant, lefty fascists call themselves anti fascist, it does not mean they are not fascists. They dress up like Mussolini’s black shirt fascists, attack free speech, assault and abuse political opponents, block highways, commit arson and riot, and are intolerant of any view with which they do not concur. If it behaves like a fascist, looks like a fascist, and sounds like a fascist…it’s a fascist.

        President Trump has done nothing to suppress or persecute his violent and extraordinarily corrupt opponents, even as they have committed criminal acts of treason against him, and he has played by the rules set by others for his Office…so much for being “dictatorial.” The only “forcible suppression of the opposition” has been from the intolerant haters and racists of the left on college campuses, social media, and via the violent Marxist hate groups and anarchists of antifa and ‘black lies matter’, who have taken every opportunity to cause division through riots, murders, arson, looting, and assault up and down the country. When you accuse him of “severe economic and social regimentation”, what exactly would that be? Would it be presiding over record levels of employment for Hispanics, women, and blacks? Would it be providing tax relief for the middle classes? Would it be saving American jobs, renegotiating trade deals that had been robbing America of billions of dollars for years? Just asking, because corrupt race-baiters like Biden, Obama, and Clinton failed to get any of that done, and Obama had two terms, without being lied about by the corrupt, or constantly attacked and further lied about by their media lapdogs.

        1. Willing ……. you are 100% correct!!!!
          Why are there so many cluelest morons that call themselves demon-ratz???
          They make me sick but the Word says that I must love them as they are my enemies!

      4. Lanny, are you aware that what they are doing is the EXACT opposite of their “name”???? OR, are you blind? everybody’s father fought against Germany or Japan in WWII, MINE TOO!!!!

      5. Larry are you ignorant or just plain stupid? Your Dad fought a legitimate war. What have YOU done… other than expound pointlessly on subjects you know little about? As a p.antifa.rt sympathizer, you should be ashamed of what you propose leaving to the children and grand children of this fantastic country. Why don’t you move to Venezuela and enjoy the lifestyle you seem so fond of.

      6. MORON….. IN THE LAND OF ORWELL WHERE THE LEFT RESIDES, WORDS MEAN THE OPPOSITE….. WHERE DID YOU GET EDUCATED/ IN US PUBLIC SCHOOLS BY MARXIST ATHEIST TEACHERS UNION TYPES……US LITERACY IS ABOUT 15TH OR SO IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW THANKS TO THOSE CORRUPT LAZY UNION BOLSHEVIKS

      7. Lanny do you realize that the Antifa and the Nazis were the same side of the political coin fighting for supremacy in Germany before the rise of the Hitler Regime?

      8. This is an old technique of the Communist Party: that is to take a name, like Anti-Fascist, Antifa, and claim that that party or in this case , the President, is a Fascist. The Democratic leadership lost after Bill Clinton, in the voting lost their man, Al Gore, then ran off George Bush, got back in control with Obama for 8 years, then Hillary lost and they had to get back in control, so they got rid of Trump with the help of money, media, Socialists, Communists, Russia and the CCP. Now the new/old party is back in control with a mentally unstable sick man, who will soon turn running of the party to it’s leadership with the figurehead being Kamala.

        1. This is the playbook of the Democrat party.when in power they will do the exact opposite of their ranting for 4 years.

        2. We are going to have a third Obama administration if OBiden is sworn in . But I believe something is happening in Washington D.C. behind the Vail.

      9. Lanny..you’re an ignorant idiot..do better research AND learn some history..it’s people like you that spread propaganda and disinform others..your opinion..IS NOT FACT

      10. I’ve had it with this being referred to as “the darkest day in America”…..really…after all the havoc of looting, burning of buildings and livelyhoods of innocent people and physical threats and accosting people with no one stopping them or condemning them…tearing down statues and spraying their graffiti everywhere……but you know the story…no the darkest day was when a fraudulent election was allowed and took out one of the best presidents we’ve ever had…and allowed the swamp back in with their senile clown of a candidate.

        1. My previous comment was not meant to be directed to any previous comment…and I know it’s a little off topic but I just wanted to say it……sorry…I’m new as this commenting thing….

      11. Are you so gullible that you haven’t seen what chaos, destruction, and death antifa promotes. Do a little research, look at their flags and symbols and tell me they are patriotic loving Americans You are a sheep. I think Joe said antifa was just an idea. I think you need to go back to school to realize who your friends are and who are your enemies. GOD is going to save our nation if he thinkes we are worth saving and he has been using President Trump to wake us up. Now you can believe it or not . Our God gives everyone FREE WILL to choose for themselves. Good Luck with your choice. GOD WINS….. TRUMP WINS….. “We the People” WIN….. AND the World WIMS…..Peace Everyone.

      12. Go soak your head in a bucket of urine. Here in West Virginia we kick the sheet out of anarchists and liberal dogs. You are a pig for Biden and the democrat rats.

        1. NOW, you are a “Published” Celebrity, And I gave you a Gratuitous Vote, so Now you have a following, as for the Mansion In Hollyweird, good luck on those taxes ! But I do agree with your basic premise…. Antifa is a radical subversive leftist group, and Utilizing “Doublespeak” to support their hate-full Fascist Rhetoric….

      13. Here’s an economic definition of Fascism. “Fascism is an economic model in which the state dictates the allocation of privately held assets to achieve public policy goals.” Is that not the intermediate goal of the liberals, progressives, and socialists of the Democrat Party? Is not their next goal government ownership of large segments of the economy? Then is not their fantasy the government ownership of almost all means of production?

        What was Trump advocating? Wasn’t it the opposite? Didn’t push for less governmental interference, less taxation, and less bureaucratic red tape?

      14. President Trump is the protecting our country from the incoming policies that are about to put our nation in total darkness and despair he is our hope stop promoting lies and innuendos we the people want our country to remain Great and proper what you want is destruction 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

      15. Are you aware that a “Rose by any other name is still a Rose’. By every action and word that these Antifa people do and say they are anarchists. Does that sound practical or even possible to you?

        Definition of anarchism
        1
        a political theory holding all forms of governmental authority to be unnecessary and undesirable and advocating a society based on voluntary cooperation and free association of individuals and groups

      16. Lenny you and Squiggy seem to Forget, that Antifa has promoted Fascism in every thing they DO and Most things they SAY, They Claim to be anti-fascist, while espousing Elimination of free speech, they claim to be anti fascist, while Dragging The Elderly from Their cars and beating them ( a form of Fascism, very similar to “Krystahl-nacht”, the night of broken Glass ) They Claim to be anti-fascist while Rioting, and breaking glass To LOOT, EXACTLY LIKE “Krystahl-Nacht”,…. Antifa is as bad as the things they Espouse to be against, just the flip side of the same coin

      17. The Fascists were martyrs. They died fighting Communism and have been smeared with lies for daring to oppose the NWO. After all even our Lord Jesus is smeared by THEM. The winners of WW2 served Satan. The leaders willingly the average man unknowingly. Nothing to be proud of.

      18. They say they are Antifa but they are committing Facist actions and Trump is not a Facist and all that you say he is what the democrat party is all about

      19. Is that why the propaganda machine exclusively supports democrats and globalists in general? Are you aware of anything at all other than the interior of your colon?

      20. You’re only telling half truths. Firstly, antifa is not merely against fascism, it is for communism, as a communist movement. So I am against antifa not because I am a friend of hitler or mussolini but becasue I am also an enemy of stalin.

        Secondly, you’re not telling the truth about the economic system of fascism, which is a government/business partnership to rule the nation. And yes, America has had fascist tendencies for decades. But the best example of fascist legislation in the U.S. is Obamacare.

        Democrats are pro fascist to a much greater degree than Trump as they supported almost 100% this authoritarian governmental command to do business with private companies.

        This is why democrats hate small businesses and love big business and big tech–it is much easier getting a few dozen huge corporations in line to govern the people than a multitude of small businesses.

        Finally, burning our cities down is to be condemned no matter what they claim to stand for.

        Truth

      21. They call themselves antifa. They use that name as a cover for trying to destroy America. They should change it to Americanhaters

      22. What the dickens have you been smoking or ingesting to have such delusions?
        The origonal antifa were a bunch of bohemians who claimed they had to protect the working class. We do not need their help here.
        Rich kids with nothing better to do.

      23. Are YOU aware that ‘Antifa’ originally started up in the 1930s in Germany and was made up ENTIRELY of communists?. And today’s version hold the same beliefs.

      24. You can call yourself anything, it does not mean you are what you say! You go by their actions. They have been burning our country down, killing police and innocent people, looting, taking over sections of cities. Throw your definition of fascism away. These people are Domestic Terrorist! They have every intention of destroying America! Wake the hell up before it is to late. And yes my father served in World War II in the Army, so don’t try to act superior to me.

  1. Hard to tell which antifa scum bag this is from that photo. They should each and all be arrested as the terrorists that they are.

    1. The FIB hasnt solved a case in decades. They are still busy looking for DB Cooper and covering up scumbag Comeys Russia hoax.

  2. Notice how all the “sewer” media blames Trumpers for the violence BEFORE the bad actors are even identified!

  3. Wow that was a great PHOTO.! ONCE AGAIN THE FIB PROVES USELESS!!!

    How did they manage to catch that guy who had his feet on Phewlosis desk? 40 agents and some sniffer dogs???? What a great agency!!! Oh, wait, the guy turned himself in.

    The fbi and all of their agents are useless P.O.S.’s!

  4. If this was an insurrection, you would have seen a lot more carnage and destruction involved. Also you would have seen more people hurt or killed. The Capitol Police removed the barricades allowing people to walk in unfettered, so people thought that was an invite not realizing they were playing into the hands of the nefarious few who planned to do damage and make it look bad for the Rally goers…. AND that’s exactly what happened. There were many instances where some participants stopped people (presumably antifa) from vandalizing but ultimately were not able to stop all of it…. The March was largely peaceful until the Police removed the barricades and that is when all hell started breaking loose sadly. So the actions of a few taints the entire crowd????? That’s exactly what the Democrats are doing and saying but yet the violent protests in other cities get a free pass by them????? TALK ABOUT HYPOCRISY!

  5. Guys, you ARE looking for antifa and blm people aren’t you???? Everybody knows they were paid to come in and pretend to be Trump supporters and create this terrorist behavior. If you are not looking for these people you are barking up the wrong tree. I knew immediately who started this at the very time it happened. The FBI should have known this too. Unless the FBI just did not want to know it!!!

  6. Probably Antifa/BLM and they belong to the Demonrats. Sick Sick Sick. I pray they get him and prosecute him to the fullest.

  7. When this bomber person is I.D.’d and researched, I’ll bet a sawbuck that he turns out to be a brainwashed Trumpy fan, just like all the others Gantz & co. claimed were antifa. Soo, here’s the challenge, folks. Those of you saying Trumpy support things, quoting the lies about antifa being a terrorist organization ‘n stuff. If you are so sure of your position, put your money where your mouth is, and cover my bet!

    One caveat.. if I’m right, and the bomber is a Trumpist, and then you claim that the FBI is lying, the FBI is part of the deep state conspiracy–as your only proof that the bomber really is antifa, or BLM, or whatever makes you feel better about being fooled into backing a loser/liar like Trump, sorry, you don’t get paid.

    I lived in Berkeley in the 60’s, I’ve heard more conspiracies than you are years old. Some of them were real (Like J. Edgar’s blackmail system). But as a wise man once told me at the time, there are lots of conspiracies, and they all leak like sieves….so if there’s a conspiracy that explains away any discrepancy by making it part of the conspiracy (Q knows what he’s doing, it’s a false flag) and the conspiracy is air tight?…it ain’t a real thing. Sorry, folks.

  8. These so called bombs – if they truly existed – could have been planted by the FBI. This way they can claim they found and disabled them, while at the same time placing blame on our president Trump for bringing so many conservative citizens to Washington. Remember what they did to Randy Weaver and his family.

  9. Once again Democrats try to set up and frame Trump supporters. I watched the DC march, all friendly happy [people no disturbance then the bus loads arrived from out of the blue and Capital Police led them in! No wonder fakebook and MSM and Twitter blocked President Trumps account as well as General Flynn, Lin Wood and Sidney Powell Scared of truth?

  10. Must be like a 3rd world insurrection. I saw the videos. No one but the police had firearms. We all know ANTIFA planted the pipe bombs. Even if evidence surfaces that it was, it will be swept under the rug. The new administration is not about truth and justice for all.

  11. I did not feel any animosity nor bias toward black people 12 years ago (before Obama), but now I don’t believe any of their so called causes and constant whining. I wonder how many Americans have been turned into racists by the most hardcore racists (the blacks).

  12. THATS a BLM, covering their body from head to toe . How would they know to do that “Inside info” or perhaps an ANTIFA person because Trump supporters, Conservatives & Christians dont do that chite. In fact they probably or may even work for Pelosi or Feinstein since they have great connections in the underworld. I’d start there and work my way out and down

  13. Interesting that fbi can act so quickly when there’s an opportunity to blame President Trump. Will VP-select Harris post bail for them?
    How many arrests have been made in Seattle and Portland during past 7+ months?

  14. Lanny: The groups you described are notable for one thing…… they describe themselves as something they are not. That tactic is historically something that is typical of liberal/socialist/fascist/communist groups.

    GB
    Major, Squadron Commander, 42nd Bomb Wing, 2nd Air Force, Strategic Air Command (SAC), US Air Force, 1960-74 

  15. To Lanny. That which seems right will be wrong and that which seems wrong will be right. Whatever the left is accusing you of is what they are guilty of. Vengeance is mine thus sayeth the Lord. Look out! He will be showing up very soon.

  16. Well, these antifa chose their own name,so maybe They’re confused..it was also for anti first amendment,if you remember correctly, so who knows what they’re about..but they Certainly Are All about violence! As they’ve proven over and over again! Dressed themselves as Trump supporters &mixed into the thousands of peaceful marchers there to support Trump..Then started their anarchy,most likely set up by the left to make President Trump look bad,blame Him for the trouble and go on their wild ride of trying to cancel him and his supporters out completely..The left is Certainly Not the Party of Unity,unless you think like them..

  17. If you watched the video’s of the REAL rioters, the ones who are violent, you can see that they did the VERY SAME things that the rioters in the democrat states did last summer of 2020. Their MO was the very same, breaking windows, ramming doors, shooting and destroying everything in their paths. The rioters were NOT Trump supporters, they were Antifa and BLM, but they were selectively not be charged because the entire rigged violence was to blame Trump and have him removed from office, and or a brand new impeachment to end the final stage of their coup d’etat

    Their evil can be read like a book. Each step is calculated, orchestrated with demented insanity. They continue their open playbook to those who have enough brain cells to follow and connect their evil dots.

    And, the demonRAT party will be opening our borders to more of these terrorist enemies as they put our country up for grabs to anyone who wants a piece of us. Life as we know it is about to come to a screeching halt. The demonRATs are so drunk on absolute power and absolute control of us and our paychecks that they don’t give a flip about us or our country. These communists hate us and our country and that is totally obvious.

    They need to be arrested, shamed, and put in prison for the rest of their lives for the fraud, the insurrections, and the traitors that they are.

    1. Antifa and BLM INFILTRATED that peaceful protest, and they did it to blame Trump and to blame all conservatives so they can block free speech and take away our Constitutional rights so they can spin their lies and make us look like the bad guys.

      Wake up, they know how to divide and conquer, these communists are EXPERTS at dividing and conquering, they have done it for hundreds of years, they know how to do it. They have succeeded because we have never had this to face like the other nations that they toppled and that are now in the dust bin of communism. We had a good example in what communism could do in Venezuela, but we just didn’t think it could happen to us.

      That fact doesn’t make us smart, that makes us ……… go figure it out when the facts are right before you and you still cannot see it.
