The FBI has released new information and video of the individual who planted pipe bombs outside the headquarters of both the Republican National Committee and the Democratic National Committee on the night before the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, the bureau announced Thursday, after nearly four years of investigation that has led to little in the way of substantive leads about the suspect's identity.

A video compilation produced by the FBI shows a new angle of the suspect placing one of the pipe bombs outside of the DNC headquarters just blocks from the Capitol, as well as an enhanced map showing the route the suspect walked that evening.

The video further includes a graphic showing the FBI's estimate of the suspect's height -- which agents have calculated is 5 feet 7 inches, and animation showing the specific pair of Nike shoes the person was wearing.

"We recognize that it's been nearly four years since we started investigating this case, and we have been helped considerably by tips from the public," FBI Washington Field Office Assistant Director in Charge David Sundberg said in an interview with ABC News. "Those tips have helped us further the investigation, but they have not, as of yet, allowed us to identify the suspect. But over the course of four years, allegiances can change, and people might have information they didn't think was important in the past, and that's why we are releasing new footage."

1. Who all asked for pardons from Trump before he left office in January 2021?

Weren't there some GOP House Reps asking?

[Irish_Dem]

5. Oh yes there were some begging for a Trump pardon.

One who wasn't even sworn in yet when much of the J6 planning took place but was hanging around DC.
Sworn in a few days before J6 and was grinning like a loon the whole time the insurrection took place on the floor of congress.

7. the shoes she wore at the white house meeting seem familiar

and video of her gait matches the pipe bomber. add that she is stupid enough to forget to arm the bombs...........

how tall is this mystery congresscritter?

[Irish_Dem]

9. MTG is 5ft 3in.

So she is shorter than the FBI picture is showing.
Unless she had a hat on underneath the hoodie.

[Self Esteem]

2. Me Googling how tall Marjorie Taylor Greene is.

BTW, I got 5'3.

[John1956PA]

4. That has been my understanding of her height. n/t

[rampartd]

8. thanks, you saved me a google

[dflprincess]

16. I did the same thing!

I still think the FBI's estimate of the bomber's height could be wrong.

[SCantiGOP]

19. It's not

There is a trashcan in the picture, so a very simple computation to relate its height to the person next to it.

[AZ8theist]

23. I got 53 as well.....

...oops, my bad.
I Googled her IQ.

[underpants]

10. I really don't understand this.

So neither of the pipe bombs exploded - RNC & DNC headquarters.


Every batch of steel pipe of any size has a HEAT report. Pipe bombs are made with steel pipe “nipples” (threads on each end)so there should be a trace on where these nipples or pipe was shipped to.

[Fiendish Thingy]

14. If you have evidence of MTG editing her height stats, please post links

Otherwise, please drop the CT nonsense.

[SCantiGOP]

20. Yes, thank you

Some of the comments here are so absurd I assume they are trolls just trying to make the site look ridiculous.

[reACTIONary]

21. For those who are curious....

11. Is that a bad built butch body?

Walks like a female but I see no boobs, does anyone else see?. How accurate fo you think the height estimate would be?

[bucolic_frolic]

12. I'd take the height estimate to be very accurate

They can triangulate the location and height of the camera, the height of the perp, the park bench height, the trees.

That being said perp makes that look like a rather short park bench.

Boobs? How much can be read into that. Minimizer bra, jogger bra. What caught my attention were the videos going around corners. The figure really leaned to the inside. Would seem to me a characteristic that could be attributed to, perhaps, gender, fitness, or ethnicity - not perfect correlation but a piece of the puzzle .

[progressoid]

15. Why bother.

[Renew Deal]

22. What are you asking?

[progressoid]

25. It's been 4 years.

Even if they do find whomever did this, Trump will just pardon them. Why waste the time and resources.

[Renew Deal]

26. I don't buy the "nothing matters" narrative

I doubt Trump would pardon someone that left bombs around DC, and if he does, it says more about him than the bomber.

[NotHardly]

17. Physicality indicates to me that it was a woman. MMW

[NotHardly]

18. To be clear, I mean size, physical movement, balance...etc.

[usonian]

24. Well, so much for the "miracle of AI" if it can't solve this case.

Call me when it does something significant like this.

27. The actor may have been communicating on a cell phone.

The actor meandered quite a bit, perhaps to burn up time while the getaway car made it to the rendezvous point.

28. I expect that Marcy Wheeler

will soon post an article listing all the steps that Merrick Garland has taken the past 4 years.
