The FBI is releasing new details about the person who planted pipe bombs in Washington, D.C., on the night before the riot at the U.S. Capitol nearly four years ago, in hopes of solving a long-standing mystery. FBI officials are still trying to identify the individual who placed the devices- which did not detonate- near the headquarters of the Republican National Committee and the Democratic National Committee on the evening of Jan. 5, 2021.

Authorities say they have conducted 1,000 interviews, reviewed 39,000 video files and sifted through some 600 tips. But the alleged bomber remains elusive, despite a $500,000 reward for information leading to the capture and the conviction of a suspect. For the first time, they're sharing a height estimate about the person - who is approximately 5 feet 7 inches tall - and providing new footage of the person placing a bomb at the DNC.

"This case involves an unknown person placing two pipe bombs that could have killed someone, not just near the Democratic and Republican National Committee headquarters, but in a neighborhood, a place where people live, a place where people work," David Sundberg, assistant director in charge of the FBI's Washington Field Office, said in an interview this week. "This is not something that the FBI is going to let go of. We simply can't have a case that we stop working that involves someone placing explosive devices inside a neighborhood in any American town or city."

Because the alleged bomber is wearing a medical mask and nondescript clothing like a gray hooded sweatshirt and black gloves, it's been challenging for investigators to find that person. One of the few distinctive features of their garb that day is the shoes: a pair of black and light gray Nike Air Max sneakers with a yellow logo. The FBI says only about 25,000 pairs of those shoes had been sold at the time of the mob scene at the Capitol in early 2021...

[Think. Again.]

1. I guess they're counting on trump giving her that pardon she asked for last time.

3. fascinating video-- such a meandering path... I wonder if they were just confused or were trying

to throw off any one tracking them.

Hard to tell if it's a guy and gal but some movements look more like a female, especially the glasses and tiptoe part. Other times, reminds me of an East Asian male, for some reason--- the build, I suppose.

How tall is MTG?

[Think. Again.]

4. Hard to find but I found this...

"How Tall is Marjorie Taylor Greene?

Marjorie Taylor Greene stands approximately 5 feet 6 inches (168 cm) tall. While height may seem trivial in the grand scheme of politics, it can impact how politicians are perceived by the public and media." - https://ubdesk-01.lon.jetsmart.com/buniatishvili1/how-tall-is-marjorie-taylor-greene-a-comprehensive-overview.html#height

It's also amusing to me that the fbi is trying to pretend they can't track her movements that evening beyond a certain perimeter in an area of Washington DC that is extremely well covered by security cameras.

5. crazy! I am dying to know how much they looked into her being the bomber

[Think. Again.]

6. I suspect they've known it's her all along.

[LymphocyteLover]

8. so they just want someone to snitch on her?

[Think. Again.]

9. Even if someone does snitch on her...

...they're gonna keep it buried as long as they can, while pretending they have 'no clue who it could possibly be! They just magically appeared and disappeared!'

[LymphocyteLover]

10. well, I would hope they put out this new request for info for a reason

maybe a last try before they are shut down by the incoming fascists

[Think. Again.]

11. Maybe, or maybe just to keep up the ruse.

2. I would assume they've tracked down the guy walking the dog who passed him...

But, probably could offer no more than is revealed by the video. But, how frightening for him to realize he had passed the guy with active bombs. Yikes.

[Think. Again.]

7. Fixed it for ya..

"But, how frightening for him to realize he had passed the guy gal with active bombs. Yikes."

[hlthe2b]

12. LOL. Yeah. Although they've really got the height wrong, if so.

[Think. Again.]

13. The only indication of her height I could find online was 5'6", not so wrong.

[hlthe2b]

14. Hmm. I'd seen 5'3"... Unbelievably she has a IMDB page for her hate videos...

She seems short (and I am as well)...


https://www.imdb.com/name/nm11648224/bio/?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm

[Think. Again.]

15. That link also says she has an IQ of 75...

I'm not sure it's a reliable source.

[hlthe2b]

16. LOL. I guess a smart-assed Liberal must have edited that. Who knows...
