Wonder if SS responded re sweep of party hqtrs - VP Harris was there.

I was checking in on progress being made, on finding that person that left the pipe bombs on 1-5-21. Nothing yet . But did find this letter from Senator Johnson to the Secret Service asking for information as to why their security sweep didn't work since Vice President Harris was there

https://www.ronjohnson.senate.gov/2022/2/sen-johnson-to-secret-service-how-did-agents-miss-a-pipe-bomb-outside-dnc-headquarters-on-january-6

In order to better understand this potential lapse in security, I request that you provide the following information:

When did the Secret Service conduct their sweep of the DNC headquarters prior to then-Vice President-elect Harris’ arrival on January 6, 2021?

What specific areas did Secret Service sweep in and around the DNC headquarters?

Please explain why Secret Service did not discover the pipe bomb reportedly located “next to a park bench” near the DNC headquarters during their sweep?[8]

Has Secret Service conducted an internal review of this potential lapse in security? If so, please provide all documents and communications associated with that review.

Has this potential lapse in security been referred to the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspect General? If not, please explain why.

Please provide this information by March 1, 2022. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

Ron Johnson

United States Senator

5. One would think finding out who authorized the tours would be easy.

Why aren't Democrats pushing for the answers to your questions?

The Ron Johnson letter is interesting and confusing to me. Is this the same Ron Johnson I am thinking of? I mean there have been issues with the SS, it may need weeded out?

3. Although it could have been to throw off the scent, bomb was also placed at RNC.

Looks a bit like Marjorie Taylor Greene to me.

11. I don't see it. I see two people holding something in their hands while the other arm swings.

I also see that MTG has more of a bounce to her walk than the pipe-bomber.
I will say they do look slightly the same height hence the shorter swing in the free arm but that's the only resemblance IMO.

About it. He said something like I know it wasn't her because I know her pretty well now since we've been traveling and she wouldn't be caught dead wearing a hoodie

I didn't look too much into her - supposedly she has an alibi?.. but I did watch the FBI clip a couple times. Could definitely be a woman
