NEWS: Then-VP Elect Kamala Harris was inside the DNC when a pipe bomb was found outside on Jan. 6 2021. She was evacuated after its discovery.

It raises major questions about the level of security she received that day.

Were an inside job. They need to look at those Capitol Police who were smiling and taking pictures with the insurrectionists. They knew EXACTLY where to place those bombs so that they would distract everyone.

people photographed among the insurrectionists. Especially security professionals who know how investigators think.

Btw, after examining the entire event, some 35+ officers were investigated further for questionable conduct. Six or so were found to have failed to perform to professional standards and were sanctioned in some way; none were fired. The only felony charges have been filed against an officer who later warned someone to delete some incriminating internet posts because they were all going to be prosecuted.

Since you're interested, I would have thought you'd have known this.

We originally thought the bombs were planted solely to distract police from the insurrection. Maybe there was more than one motive.

...it makes the issurrection more than a protest. Or more than political theater with the gallows and the violent acting out.

This may have been an attempt at political assasination of the newly elected leaders, as well.

as soon as he could. He obviously knew more about his reasoning than we did at the time.

The more we learn, the more we can see 1/6 was a well planned out event, wider in scope and more nefarious than we knew.

Given the ruthless GOP sociopaths involved, I would not at all be surprised if new elect leader assassination was on the agenda, or at the very least was considered.

We know that Pence was a target as were others.

So they want to know who the mule was, who compelled the mule, and if security information leaked somewhere, and if political officials were targeted.

from the FBI. If it was suppose to go off it would have gone off the day before Harris was at the DNC.

Our protective services need a good cleansing.

I enjoy fiction with political intrigue, and there's always someone in a position of responsibility who puts his personal beliefs before law & order, the mission of his agency, etc.

Yes, it does raise a lot of questions. I'm concerned about the precision of the targeting. Was this just a coincidence?
