The FBI blocked the surveillance team investigating the January 6 pipe bomb incident from interviewing the suspect tied to the case, a former FBI agent claims.
An individual was caught on security cameras placing a pair of pipe bombs outside the Republican and Democratic National Committee buildings in Washington, D.C. the night before Jan. 6, 2021.
Former FBI agent Kyle Seraphin told the Daily Wire that his surveillance team used the security footage to track the suspect’s movements shortly after he placed the bombs, where he first used a fare card at the Metro station then transferred to a car in Northern Virginia.
Apparently, the person of interest was also identified as a former U.S. military official.
Both the car and the fare card were in the name of “a retired Air Force chief master sergeant who was now working as a contractor with a security clearance.”
At that point, Seraphin requested from FBI leadership permission to interview the suspect but was denied, and told to go after other J6 participants instead.
“Allegedly someone threw bombs around the Capitol which could have killed congressmen or a busload of nuns or anything, and the answer is you can’t follow this guy around — you have to go to headquarters and read ‘leads’ where someone said ‘I might’ve went to high school with some guy that was standing around the Capitol?’” Seraphin told the outlet.
Seraphin said the bomber may not have been the same person who owned the Metro fare card or the car, but it was “a highly specific lead” that could have led investigators to the culprit.
“They found people based on their earlobes that were hanging out by a flagpole,” Seraphin said of the FBI looking for suspects at the Capitol on January 6. “They can do telephonic capture and triangulate your phone in real-time…The bureau is far too competent to fail this.”
“When they had the World Trade Center bombing in ’93 they went under four stories of rubble and were able to find a partial VIN number that they used to track it down to the people responsible. And you’re telling me you had a pristine, non-detonated bomb and they couldn’t find anything on it?”
Seraphin also highlighted the FBI’s unusual lack of urgency upon learning of the pipe bombs, which was shown in security video recently released by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.).

In my view this will end up demolishing the Regime's J6 narrative and with it a major pillar of Dem's 2024 strategy.

Seraphin said of the video, “That’s not how you react to a bomb, I don’t care who you are,” unless they had reason in advance to “believe it wasn’t real.”
House Republicans in May 2023 sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray to answer for why the bureau was withholding evidence related to the J6 pipe bomb from Congress — specifically, the license plate number mentioned by Seraphin.
“As part of our oversight investigation into the pipe bombs placed near the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee and Republican National Committee on January 5, 2021. At the start of the 118th Congress on January 17, 2023, we reiterated this request. To date, you have failed to comply,” reads the letter.

Get this – the FBI *knows the license plate of the suspect’s car* but no arrests?!

Interestingly, the Democrats and mainstream media have conspicuously omitted all mention of the pipe bombs when advancing their narrative that the Jan. 6 riot was a dangerous “insurrection.”
“How dark, how dirty, how damning, how embarrassing does the truth have to be for these salivating political opportunists to forgo the obvious political advantages of this talking point?” asked Revolver News’ Darren Beattie in an X Space discussion last week.
