Update on the Jan. 6 pipe bomb found at the DNC headquarters: as the bomb squad approached the area to deal with the bomb, there were two Capitol Police Video Cameras that were capable of recording the event.

Camera 3173 was remotely directed away from the scene at 1:29 p.m. on Jan. 6, 2021, before the bomb squad arrived.

The Capitol Police Command Center redirected camera 8020 away from the action at 1:44 p.m., just as a bomb robot begins traveling toward the DNC.

More on the Jan. 6 pipe bomb at the DNC headquarters: None of the Capitol Police security cameras that cover the DNC show the Secret Service conducting a security sweep of the property just before 11:25 a.m., in preparation for a visit by VP-elect Harris. A dog & its handler were seen on video 2 hours earlier searching the same area in which the bomb was later found.

Capitol Police video also doesn’t show the discovery of the DNC pipe bomb by an undercover police officer at 1:05 p.m. that day.

Everything is a scheme with these Nazis.👇

Hello, everybody! Just your friendly reminder that the U.S. media are in the outrage business, not the information business, and they want your eyeballs. DON'T give them your precious attention. That's about the only thing you control any more, so treat it like the valuable thing it is. I'm off to look for cat pitchers. Have a lovely evening/morning/day/night.

Happy Valentine’s Day , Mastodon friends ❤️
