House Republicans accuse the FBI of failing to solve the 2021 pipe bomb case outside the DNC and RNC headquarters, claiming Americans are less secure as a result.
House Republicans warned Thursday that Americans are less secure as a result of the FBI ’s failure to identify the person responsible for the attempted bombings of the DNC and RNC headquarters. The report, released by Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), the chairman of the House Administration Committee’s oversight panel, and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.
) found little meaningful progress has been made in the investigation and revealed that federal law enforcement has refused to provide substantive updates to Congress about the current status of the probe. The FBI’s investigation yielded a promising array of data and revealed numerous persons of interest in the initial weeks of the probe, according to the lawmakers, but the case soon went cold. After four years, the FBI has still not been able to identify a suspect in the attempted bombings. «By the end of February 2021, the FBI began diverting resources away from the pipe bomb investigation,» the report states, noting that «one possible explanation for the reduction in resources is that the number of credible leads began to decline, no longer requiring as many special agents to cover the workload.» «Ultimately, however, almost four years after the placement of the pipe bombs, no suspect has been arrested or identified,» the report concludes. Pipe bombs, described by the FBI as viable explosive devices, were planted outside the two major political parties’ headquarters in Washington, DC, on Jan. 5, 2021 — the night before the riot at the US Capitol — by a person carrying a backpack and wearing a grey-hooded sweatshirt, mask, gloves, glasses, and a pair of Nike Air Max Speed Turf sneakers. The devices were discovered the following afternoon, at around the same time Congress convened to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election
