FBI posts photo of person who placed suspected pipe bombs outside DNC, RNC

[platocplx]

On Thursday night, the FBI tweeted a photo of the suspect and posted a reward of up to $50,000 "for information leading to the location, arrest, and conviction of the person(s) responsible for the placement of suspected pipe bombs in Washington, D.C. on January 6, 2021."

At around 1 p.m. on Wednesday, law enforcement agencies received reports of two suspected pipe bombs with wires outside the RNC and DNC headquarters in Washington, D.C.

federal law enforcement source told ABC News that the suspected pipe bombs were indeed active, and U.S. Capitol Police confirmed that the devices could have caused "great harm."

"The USCP Hazardous Materials Response Team determined that both devices were, in fact, hazardous and could cause great harm to public safety," police said in statement.

Image of person

let me know if posted already. But this was lost in the mix I think it probably needs more attention at just how much terror could've been brought during the riot. This is insane.

Scary. Placed bombs at both RNC and DNC.

Suspected pipe bombs were really just pipe bombs.

I mean, the guy covered his body, face, and head up, so I think they are just putting out what they have in the hopes that someone recognizes his general appearance. Maybe they get a few dozen leads from people who think they know a guy who wore something similar on that day, and maybe when they follow up they find him.

I mean, this does narrow down who the suspect is quite a bit. Just from this photo you can reasonably assume he's a white (maybe?), younger, ~160 pound male. If maybe someone the terrorist knows already had suspicions this would help push them towards contacting the FBI.

I mean we all assume he's white, but there's no pixel (at least in the pic in the thread) showing skin color. Hell, could even be a woman.

The fact that he's not covered in Trump shit is proof that he's not Antifa. If they were really running a false flag psyop they would want him covered head to toe in MAGA gear.

This is someone who is legit trying to hide their identity. An actual terrorist and not the dumbest we've seen. Scary.

We can at least get their height and weight down closer. But there's not much to go by here.

I mean I was clownin' obviously, but I can't even tell he's white from this photo (beyond just making the obvious assumption) or that he's on the younger side beyond just seemingly having a somewhat more modern fashion sense then 95% of the MAGA parade.

Ain't gonna disagree that what little info is here though could be enough to cause a suspicious friend, family member, or neighbor to send in a tip that catches them though. Just find it interesting that there's not a single better photo that shows even a spec of facial features that they could have gone with, given the amount of cameras I know are in that area (DC area resident here).

I feel like it's a useful idiot model from top to bottom. Trump himself is a useful idiot. He's got direct useful idiots, and the pattern just flows all the way to the bottom. The law enforcement model at the Capitol fits this, as does the raid itself.

[Parch]

Not much to ID the guy, but the point of the $50K reward is to find somebody who knows him. He probably wasn't completely unknown so somebody might have known what he was up to. He's probably not the type to be completely silent about it, to either friends, family, or social media.

you KNOW there were spies inside of that building as this thing had so much notice. On one hand, that last hack likely affected the capitol. so sure, already exposed..

But just having the hardware/access like this is insane to me from a national security standpoint. They had hours. I heard on the radio that there was a lockdown that happened w/the machines eventually software wise. But, they literally stole computers.

Lets just hope the democrats weren't typing anything stupid again.

Maybe, but a lot of these idiots like to LARP as cops and imagine themselves as bad ass vigilante operators, so it's just as likely to be some hyped up reddit keyboard warrior or a militia loon.
