The January 6 pipe bomb case has been the FBI's biggest embarrassment for nearly five years.
Now one witness is blowing up the official story.
And a January 6 witness has one message that put the Deep State on red alert.
Congressional chairman demands answers from key pipe bomb witness
Representative Barry Loudermilk just threw a wrench into the FBI's carefully constructed narrative about the January 6 pipe bombs.
The Georgia Republican formally requested that Karlin Younger appear for a transcribed interview before December 22.
Younger discovered the pipe bomb outside the Republican National Committee headquarters while doing laundry on January 6, 2021.
Her timeline completely contradicts what the FBI has been telling Americans for nearly five years.
Younger told FBI agents the bomb appeared during a 40-minute window just after noon on January 6.¹
The FBI claims both bombs were planted the night before at 8:16 PM.
Somebody's lying — and the smart money says it's not the witness.
"Given your discovery and subsequent interactions with the FBI, you are uniquely situated to provide information regarding the circumstances surrounding the FBI's response to, and investigation of, the RNC pipe bomb," Loudermilk wrote.²
The FBI's story falls apart under scrutiny
Here's where it gets really interesting.
The kitchen timer attached to the bomb showed 20 minutes remaining when Younger found it.³
These timers only run for 60 minutes maximum.
Do the math — the bomb had to be placed no earlier than 40 minutes before discovery.
That makes it physically impossible for the device to have been planted the night before like the FBI claims.
The FBI lab report describes the devices as capable of causing injury or death "when properly assembled and initiated," but conveniently neither bomb exploded.⁴
Despite being the key eyewitness, the FBI didn't bother to interview Younger until five days later — and only after she reached out through an online tip.⁵
Let that sink in.
The FBI had the most important witness to one of the biggest January 6 cases, and they couldn't be bothered to talk to her for five days.
That's not an investigation — that's a cover-up.
One coincidence too many connects witness to corrupted evidence
Now buckle up, because this is where the whole thing stinks to high heaven.
Younger worked as a project manager for FirstNet Authority — a public-private partnership between AT&T and the Commerce Department that manages emergency communications for first responders.⁶
The FBI awarded FirstNet a $92 million contract just one month before January 6.⁷
When the FBI requested cell phone location data vital for tracking down the bomber, every major carrier in America complied — except AT&T FirstNet.
The company claimed the data from January 5 was "corrupted" and couldn't be restored.⁸
You've got to be kidding.
The woman who finds the bomb works for the company that just happens to lose the only data that could identify the bomber?
"What is the relationship here?" Loudermilk asked. "The person who found the pipe bomb works for the company that corrupted the data, and then they tell the FBI the data wasn't corrupted, then they tell the FBI the data was corrupted."⁹
First they said the data wasn't corrupted.
Then they said it was.
AT&T FirstNet claimed a server was overloaded when an employee tried to preserve the data after receiving the FBI's preservation request.
The January 5 data was set to be purged at midnight — and somehow got corrupted in the process.¹⁰
The FBI had requested precise location data "which provides the distance between mobile devices and the cell tower it is interacting with" for January 5 and 6 — exactly what they needed to identify who planted the bombs.¹¹
Gone. Corrupted. Oops.
A whistleblower told Congress the FBI waited more than a year before requesting field offices to canvas informants — described as "unusual" given the severity of the case.¹²
If you believe this is all just unfortunate accidents, there's a bridge in Brooklyn someone would like to sell you.
Loudermilk exposes what the FBI doesn't want you to know
Loudermilk isn't buying it, and neither should you.
"The single greatest action that facilitated the protester's ease of entry into the Capitol on January 6 was the placing of the pipe bombs, and the diversionary effect that had on security resources," Loudermilk explained.¹³
One theory investigators are considering: the bombs may have been part of an undisclosed law enforcement training exercise that went sideways.
"When would you build a bomb that's not designed to go off, but every element of it is to make you think it will, or make a bomb sniffing dog think that it is a live bomb?" Loudermilk asked.¹⁴
That's a damn good question.
Secret Service bomb-sniffing dogs swept the DNC grounds the morning of January 6 and didn't detect any device — even though the FBI swears a bomb had been sitting there since the previous night.¹⁵
Either the Secret Service is incompetent, or the bomb wasn't there when they searched.
Pick one.
The FBI arrested 30-year-old Brian Cole Jr. of Virginia last week and charged him with planting the bombs based on credit card purchases and cell phone location data.¹⁶
Attorney General Pam Bondi emphasized there were no new tips or witnesses — just "good, diligent police work" reviewing evidence that had been sitting at the FBI since 2021.¹⁷
If the evidence was there all along, why did it take nearly five years?
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, who previously called the whole thing an "inside job," suddenly praised investigators for solving the case.¹⁸
Funny how that works.
But here's what the FBI doesn't want you thinking about — Younger's testimony could blow the entire case against Cole to smithereens.
Her account doesn't just contradict the FBI's timeline.
It potentially proves the bombs couldn't have been planted when the FBI claims.
And if the FBI got the timeline wrong, what else are they lying about?
Loudermilk wants answers before Christmas.
The Deep State better start talking, because they just ran out of places to hide.
