The leaking damn is buckling.

Hey guys I'm starting to think that maybe the ATF are the baddies.

The ATF documents obtained by Judicial Watch run 88 pages, which includes a number of screenshots from a text group chat of various ATF officials on January 6 called the “January 7 Intel Chain.” The first thing we notice about the group chat in question is how nearly every single name is redacted—not an uncommon feature, to be sure—in FOIAd documents from three-letter agencies. Ashan Benedict’s name, interestingly, is one of the very few that is not redacted. Note that on January 6, 2021, Benedict was a senior ATF official as the Special Agent in Charge for all of Washington, D.C. (hence his presence in the FOIA documents).

Interestingly, the text chain in the FOIA docs begins right at the decisive time of 12:47 p.m. on January 6, a mere 7 minutes after Karlin Younger claims she stumbled upon the first “RNC pipe bomb” in a back alley by the Capitol Hill Club and a mere 5 minutes before the first “Ray Epps” breach of the West Perimeter of the Capitol near the peace monument—a breach whose fed-saturated and questionable elements we chronicle in exhaustive detail in our now classic Ray Epps series.

"We just KNEW there wasn't a third bomb to look for."

Uh-huh. sure. Because you were involved in the criminal conspiracy to plant the two and only two bombs that were there. Got it.

See how conspiracies aren't theories—they're serious crimes?

It's a cover-up and every damn EOD Tech, from the most green of us to those of us with decades of experience would tell you. There's no way in Hell that pipe bomb was cleared "safe for removal and/or detonation" without a team going in to assess the target. And no damned LEO or military official would ever clear one without EOD investigating the IED first. What if it had a pressure plate attached, or a trip wire, or a timer, or a remote device connected? Unlike in the movies, a normal LEO, whether they be a Fed or MP or other, wouldn't have the requisite knowledge or skill set to determine without having EOD present. Even if it was mistaken for something it wasn't, EOD would've been called in to I vestigste and assess the situation.

So, either USSS AND Capitol Police KNEW in advance it was placed there AND knew it was fake, or that whole detail is about to get shit canned for purposely and purposefully neglecting their duty to protect a sitting VPOTUS.

In my 9 yrs as an Active Duty Navy EOD Tech, and having worked with various levels of LEO Depts, I can assure you there isn't a cop alive that is stupid enough to do what that video shows them doing UNLESS it was a Black Swan/FF type event and everyone involved in that video knew it was fake at that time.

(My unit used to handle suspected bomb calls for the local city and Sheriff's Dept where our base was located at in S. Carolina. We used to routinely handle calls of suspected IEDs, especially in the months after 9/11. In EVERY CASE, we had a 100 yd area cordoned off by the LEOs for their and thr public's safety BEFORE we ever our compound. We would wait on scene while the necessary evacs took place and would even assist them in getting the public to the safe zone. And if we showed up and the area wasn't secured, those LEO units were getting more than an earful from the Team Leader. We worked very closely with other military branch EOD units, and the various levels of civilian LEOs to help ensure there was continuity among everyone nationwide, for everyone's safety, ESPECIALLY the public's safety.

A cover up of a failed and/or botched episode is the ONLY logical I explanation here. I will accept no other alternatives and neither should anyone else here.
