The FBI just released enhanced surveillance video of the mysterious suspect who planted pipe bombs outside the Democratic National Committee and Republican National Committee headquarters in Washington, D.C. on the night before Jan. 6, 2021.
The footage tracks the individual roaming Capitol Hill between 7:30 and 8:30 p.m., dropping one device outside the DNC at 7:54 p.m. and another outside the RNC just over 20 minutes later.
Investigators say the suspect — about 5′7″, wearing a gray hoodie, black gloves, face mask, and Nike Air Max Speed Turf shoes with a yellow logo — remains unidentified. The new clip even animates the sneakers and maps the person’s route, underscoring that the shoes may be the biggest clue left.
CBS News continues:
According to a report obtained by CBS News in March 2021, the bombs contained only one method of detonation — a 60-minute kitchen timer. The devices did not go off, and when and whether they were meant to explode remains unclear. But the FBI said their analysis concluded the pipe bombs were viable and posed a danger to the public.
They were eventually discovered outside the buildings at about 1 p.m. on Jan. 6, around the time rioters breached the nearby Capitol grounds. Law enforcement officials have said the discovery of the pipe bombs likely diverted resources from the response to the simultaneous crisis at the Capitol.
David Sunberg, head of the FBI’s Washington Field Office, told CBS News in an interview that the case “is absolutely still a high priority” and the devices “could have killed somebody,” noting they were left “in a residential neighborhood.”
Sunberg and the FBI are urging members of the public to review the newly released information, which includes an animated rendering of the Nike shoes the suspect wore that day.
🚨FBI still offers $500K REWARD for ID'ing the Jan 5, 2021 pipe bomb planter at DNC/RNC HQs.

Three years later, no arrest has been made. The FBI says it has logged more than 600 tips, reviewed tens of thousands of videos, and interviewed over 1,000 people, but still doesn’t know who planted the bombs — or why.
A House GOP oversight report blasted the bureau for making “little meaningful progress,” saying the public deserves answers about one of the most puzzling open cases linked to the Jan. 6 timeline.

Has anyone ever figured that this “guy” is an insider?
Why play this stupid game, every true conservative knows that Christopher Wray knows who the FBI had to place these Time Bombs, as people in the know have already said that these devices are made up of the very Timers used by the FBI on their training bombs. There is no need to dole out another $500K of taxpayer dollars . . . to who? Chris Wray? Chris Wray also can tell you what happened to the rest of the edited video from the camera across the street from the DNC HQ’s that took this video. The only mystery here is when are the current DOJ/FBI going to tell the American people that the mystery person in this video has been arrested, along with Chris Wray, Joe Biden & his handlers, Kamala Harris, who was supposedly in the DNC HQ’s at the time that this charade video was taken. This is all just part of the Pelosi/Wray/Biden Administration led coordinated J6 scheme to sully Donal J Trump and the MAGA Movement.
Hmm, so who would benifit from placing a bomb atboth the dnc and rnc? Not the dems, not the Republicans, perhaps someone or some group trying to make a peaceful protest look like an insurrection? Smells like an inside job, fbi up to more shenanigans, like the whitmore faux kidnapping, and the 250 undercover agents in the crowd for ” crowd control” you know, like urging people to “go inside” and breaking windows. Another amateur fbi operation that flopped
If they have this much video, they may have more that was collected. Not surprising if they could follow the perp back to the vehicle used or the door the perp came out of. Someone did that trace unless ordered not to for some reason. One would wonder why?
Expected much more openness from the Trump FBI and DOJ. It seems like there are certain things the deep state won’t let either party reveal.
Then use Zoom Vision Tech, body scanning data to ID suspect
Bounty for?
Where were Bill and Hillary Clinton, Nancy and Chuck, and the rest of the criminally liberal Democrats. Remember Nancy Pelosi wanted Donald Trump so bad she couldn’t even see or point straight!
