Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
Well, yes, one of the many, many bombshells and indiscrepancies as it were about the official story of the pipe bomb is the surveillance footage keep in mind this surveillance footage that the FBI released comes from the DNC's own surveillance. So this is DNC surveillance, unlike some of the footage that's from the Capitol Police and other agencies.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
And we proved basically two major problems with the footage. One was that we proved that they were withholding certain footage. And secondly, and I think most damningly at this stage, The frame rate was clearly manipulated. And in fact, the frame rate of the released footage has an average of about 1.2 frames per second.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
The lowest commercially available industry standard is eight frames per second. And of course, it's inconceivable that a group like the DNC for its high profile building with all of its high profile visitors in a high crime city would have a security camera that's far worse than the worst commercially available security camera.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
So it's like they would have to scour the one or two antique stores in the country still holding security cameras with a 1.2 frame rate. So it's clear to me that there's been manipulation involved. And I hope, I think you're right, we've gotten so far with this. We've demolished the narrative. Every reasonable person knows that it's a fake story. It's a January 6 pipe bomb hoax.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
But in order to get that last stage, say the final and decisive 5%, that's really going to require the courage and cooperation of incoming FBI Director Kash Patel. We have this for him on a silver platter. One of the things he will very much be in a position to do is to find out the chain of custody, for instance, for that DNC footage that ultimately made it to the FBI.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
That's one of a handful of very specific things that he can do that will help us solve this once and for all, definitively, with names, with institutions, and with accountability.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
Yeah, clearly they, they don't want people to know who it is. And I think this is another thing that I really want to emphasize for your audience. For the first time publicly, I believe Trump has spoken about the January 6th pipe bomb. The substance of what he said is really crucial. He said the FBI knows who the pipe bomber is.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
This is coming off the heels of a major report from the House Admin Committee, which I should say is based largely on our reporting at Revolver News confirming it. But there's a lot of additional color there that I think is really important. One of the things is. It's clear to me, at least, that the FBI actually did conduct a legitimate investigation in the first few months after January 6th.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
That is to say, they did everything that you would expect an agency like the FBI to do. They interviewed hundreds, if not thousands of people. They followed a bunch of leads. There's multiple references to very hot and interesting leads. And then all of a sudden, for some reason, Around May of 2021, the investigation goes dark. All of these promising leads are dropped without explanation.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
And this is even earlier than I thought. I know that there was another agency who was researching and looking into January 6th, another federal agency looking into this, that wanted to see surveillance footage of the pipe bomb location from January 6th. and could not go to the FBI to do so.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
They actually had to go to the DNC, indicating that the FBI may have just deleted their footage entirely as early as February of 2022. But now we see from this report that it looks like they just killed their investigation in spring of 2021.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
Now, I think the only reasonable thing to conclude from this, especially given the broader context of how many just huge holes there are in the official story, the FBI did a real investigation. They found out who the pipe bomber was and what went on.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
The truth of that was so profoundly embarrassing and in all likelihood incriminating to very senior levels of the Biden administration and to the deep state more broadly. that they proceeded from the investigation to the cover-up.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
And this is a cover-up that, as we've reported, as you've discussed, it implicates not only the FBI, it implicates the Capitol Police, the ATF, the number one cover-up guy I've named was a former ATF guy of over 20 years, the ATF, and then finally, and perhaps most infamously, the Secret Service itself, which, as we all have seen that now crazy video,
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
of the Secret Service standing around, total nonchalance, total lackadaisical, not a care in the world, and allow a group of children to walk right by the bomb because they clearly knew in advance that the bomb posed no threat. So this goes to the very highest levels of some of the most critical agencies in our government. That's how big this is.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
And just as a final point, this is speculative, but I think it's very reasonable to say, is that there are only a handful of orchestrators in government. There are only a handful of masterminds within the deep state.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
And I think once this is exposed and once we see who the real person was who orchestrated this whole thing, the pipe bomb is very much connected to the breach of the Capitol itself because of the synchronicity, they're connected. Once that's exposed, I would be shocked if the key figures involved in this conspiracy weren't also involved in other conspiracies within the Deep State.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
And again, this is speculation, but given the Secret Service's culpability in the pipe bomb scandal, it's hard for me to imagine that the person pulling the strings for that wouldn't necessarily be involved in something like Butler II. I think it's a very small world when it comes to those handful of people who are truly the masterminds of these types of conspiracies.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
It's only a handful of people with the discretion and the capability to pull these things off. And I think when you find out who they are, it's not just going to be about January 6th, as big and explosive as that is in its own right.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
And I'll be more specific than that. So there's this report that I mentioned from the Loudermilk House Admin Report. There was the issue that it was clear that the FBI dropped the case spring of 2021. There's another really interesting thing from there that confirms what we've been saying.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
And that is the head of the investigation, the public head of it, who is the FBI field office director, Stephen D'Antonio. After he left government, he testified before the Judiciary Committee and when asked, did you guys use geofencing? to try to identify the pipe bomber. He said, yes, we tried to do that, but the data came back corrupted.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
The Loudermilk report suggests they talked to the telecom companies, and the telecom companies, each and every one, contradicted D'Ancona's statement. One might say he was lying, but at the very least, there is a direct and explicit contradiction of his statement.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
And this is very interesting to consider in light of the fact that the other thing that D'Antonio said, he was asked, so who are the principal agents investigating this? He claimed that he couldn't remember. He couldn't recall. How believable is that? This is the most high-profile aspect of their most high-profile investigation. And he claims that he can't remember the agents involved.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
There are two principal agents involved. I happen to have a very good idea who one of them is. And I think this is going to be a very, very easy person to pressure. And it's something that I would hope and expect incoming FBI Director Kash Patel to take the lead on. Because you're right, you just need to get to the people who are overseeing the investigation and everything falls from there.
The Dan Bongino Show
Dan Bongino Sunday Special - Jan. 6th pipe bomb scandal
There are two people, in my view, who are principally involved one of them we have a pretty good idea of who he is um and those people need to be basically put under oath say what happened with this footage what happened with everything else and i think the whole house of cards falls down from that
