Trump claims the Jan 6th insurrection was “peaceful” and that there was no insurrection. Meanwhile, federal agents have arrested a suspect in Virginia accused of planting two pipe bombs near the Capitol the night before Jan. 6, 2021. At this rate, it’s hard not to assume this insurrectionist will end up pardoned too.
Here are the facts:
– The devices were real, functioning explosives.
– They were placed to divert law enforcement resources at the exact time the Capitol was being breached.
– They helped overwhelm security by pulling officers away from the Capitol complex.
– The FBI has said the timing and placement were clearly coordinated to create chaos and confusion during the certification of the election.
