In recent weeks, the already damaged reputation of the FBI has become further impacted by testimony from a collection of whistleblowers exposing the issues experienced within the Bureau. All you need to see as far as their validity is how the press has pulled a 180 in regard to those exposing internal problems. In the past, when Alexander Vindman or Rebekah Jones were challenged by their entities, the media defended them ardently. Today? The people exposing FBI malfeasance are said by the media to not be validwhistleblowers…according to the Bureau.
Another hit to the character of the FBI is revealed in a letter from the House Judiciary Committee to Director Christopher Wray. Penned by Jim Jordan, Andy Biggs, and Bill Posey, they request that the committee be filled in on details specific to the investigation of the Capitol Hill pipe bombs located at the RNC and DNC headquarters in D.C. on the night before the January 6 riot. As Katie Pavlich wrote, there have been a number of requests made to Wray to attend briefings on this matter. He has, to date, rebuffed all requests:
We wrote to you on March 9, 2022, requesting a briefing about the status of the FBI’s 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. The Committee requested the briefing after we received a whistleblower disclosure from a senior FBI official that raised questions and concerns about the ‘unusual’ nature of the FBI’s investigative efforts and due to the FBI’s failure to adequately respond to Rep. Bill Posey’s September 2, 2021 request for a briefing on the investigation.
So, this is three times that Wray has steadfastly refused to attend briefings regarding this particular matter, predating the whistleblower revelations. But there has been more in this letter to raise serious concerns. The whistleblowers’ indication that there were “unusual” investigative efforts points to the call from the D.C. location to all field offices across the country “to canvass all confidential human sources nationwide.”
This hardly appears to be a targeted investigation when all offices are asked to question all sources to find…something. This request was put out a year afterthe pipe bombs were located. By appearances, this seems to be a face-saving move so that an indication of an investigation could be shown. But there is an even more questionable detail shown in the House letter.
Consider how all the J-6 defendants have been rounded up and sent to trial. Cell phone tracking, CCTV footage, and even crowd-sourced online investigations have been used to gather up hundreds of defendants. There are photos and numerous videos of the pipe bomb suspect, but there appear to be extremely detailed findings as well:
Your failure to comply with our request is particularly concerning given recent media reports regarding the pipe bomb investigation. According to at least one report from a former FBI agent who worked on the investigation, the FBI linked the suspected pipe bomber to a MetroRail SmarTrip Card that the subject used to travel through the Washington Metro system to a stop in Northern Virginia.
And the letter indicated the Bureau has even more than that:
The FBI used security camera footage from the Northern Virginia Metro stop to identify the license plate of a car that the individual entered. Still, the FBI has not identified the subject. One former FBI assistant director observed, ‘[i]t just doesn’t add up . . . [t]here’s just too much to work with to not know who this guy is.’
On top of this established information that has led to nothing, there are also conflicting reports on the bombs themselves. The FBI has stated the pipe bombs were live and could have detonated, but a now-retired against who worked the case has stated that both devices found were inoperable.
There is quite a lot at play here that only leads to questions. The most revealing thing to come out of the FBI regarding this case is how Christopher Wray refuses to show up to provide any answers.

Weren’t the pipe bombs Cesar Sayoc is supposed to have sent Democrats in power positions in 2018 inoperable, too?
David Ray says
Of course the pretend bombs were inert. Democrats wanted to stage a distraction; not put their precious lives in any real danger.
Sayoc (a registered Democrat) was a patsy idiot, and got used & discarded for helping stage that “October surprise”. (His surprise was a 20 year prison sentence. Oops!)
The DC pretend bomber apparently took note, and made sure he got a better arrangement, which was no deal, unless the FBI gave assurances that no hunt or prosecution would follow him.
Both acts were designed to slander Trump/MAGA, which only lends more evidence that Jan 6th was a set-up.

Sleep well at night America, our government is protecting us.
BLSinSC says
It’s too corrupt – end it!! Our ENTIRE Federal Government is corrupt either through ACTIONS or SILENCE! I do hope the funding bill fails so we can IDENTIFY the NON-ESSENTIAL WORKERS and eliminate them! I can guarantee you that as soon as those folks lose their jobs and perks they will come forward with stories of abuse and corruption that would make your hair stand on end! Think of those poor souls who have to surf the internet for porn on their OWN DIME!! They won’t go quietly – they’ll want to take a few with them!
What’s more important – SS and Veterans or MORE IRS gestapo??
Kasandra says
If the FBI feels that it is beyond congressional oversight, Congress should reciprocate and zero out its budget. BTW, I’m sure the nationwide query of its field office was just done so that the FBI could claim the alleged bombing was still the subject of an “ongoing investigation” so it could continue to conceal what it undoubtedly knows about the matter.
DC says
Totalitarians like Wray only respect the barrel of the gun.
And since no one will give it to him………..he will continue to lord over innocent Americans and destroy the country.
He is no different from KGB directors of the Soviet era.
Onzeur Trante says
If one believes anything Wray says, the FBI has enough “ongoing investigations” to keep it running rogue for years.
Wray and his comrades will continue to be untouchable until Congress gets serious about getting serious.
RAM says
It takes time to eliminate evidence and witnesses.
David Ray says
They did.
There had been so many attacks on conservatives, that the press was getting embarrassed in having to report them.
It was undeniable that liberal fools took Maxine Waters’ advice; chronically & unendingly carrying out so many assaults on conservatives, that it was resonating with mainstream voters. (Ted Cruz was accosted in a restaurant.)
So leftists decided to stage that stunt, so they could also portray themselves as victims.
(The DNC stenographers in the press ate it up – simply ascribing the stunt to “pro-Trump, far-right extremism” as Wiki puts it.)
Cowardly liberals wouldn’t dare risk harming themselves; hence the bombs were inert.
My 2nd clue was it happened conveniently a month before the election cycle, allowing leftists to take focus off actual assaults.
My 3rd clue was how the press wasn’t really too interested in the sender. That’s why most people don’t know his name.
My 4th clue was how suddenly & neatly all those bumper stickers were put on the van all at once, covering all the rear windows. (It takes awhile to accrue and paste multiple bumper stickers on.)
My 5th clue was that many of the pretend bombs’ stamps didn’t have the date-tag printed over them. So either the guy made multiple trips all at once . . . or had help.
My biggest clue is that the guy, Cesar Sayoc, is a registered Democrat.
The patsy fool took one for the team, but might wanna watch his back while in prison . . . or end up like Jeffery Epstein.

Who appointed James Comey V2 to be director?? Wray was a well known and long time member of the Mueller / Comey / Weissmann cabal….. Oh year, I remember now. But it wasn’t his fault … he got bad advice .. just like when he appointed Pence, Milley, Mattis, Tillerson, Manigault, Esper, Barr et al.
He did make ONE excellent exec branch appointment. That would be Gen Flynn.. Then he fired Flynn w/in a month when Comey and Pence told him too 🙁
Walter Sieruk says
The officials in power in the Federal Bureau of Investigation have never read or don’t really believe in the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution. This is because the Biden/ Harris / Pelosi regime had the FBI conduct an old time like Soviet type invasion of the home of Donald Trump in a raid of political harassment.
What a terrible abuse of Federal power, which was not what, the FBI was originally designed to be used for.
Maybe the now thoroughly corrupted infiltrated, FBI by far -left wing with Red/Green alliance is so ingrained in that formerly good federal organization the damage done to that institution might be completely irreversible. As beyond repair and reform.
As Abraham Lincoln has, so wisely, said “You can’t unscramble eggs.”
Walter Sieruk says
The FBI is no longer the grand all American law enforcement institution that it once was in past times when captured kidnappers and investigated Communists and anarchists in America and it had even a few times stopped some jihadists in the United States from setting of bombs and thus murdering people.
So now ,after giving credit where it is due , the awful occurrences of the times strongly indicate that the institution that is the FBI has become not only influenced but even infiltrated and corrupted by the insidious and sinister extreme left -wing along with their comrades of the Red /Green alliance.
As observed its involvement in that despicable January 6, 2021 set up against the American Patriots at Washington DC in which with that mean old harpy, Nancy Pelosi, in some FBI agents in ,uncover , were very readily to falsely arrest , in entrapment any concerned patriots who ,at that rally who questioned that rigged hoax of a Presidential election in November 3,2020.
Even after that day FBI, agents went after in harassment some of the other patriots from that day of 1/6/21.
Greebo says
The FBI is not the only part of our government infiltrated & hijacked by our enemies. It is, however, one of the crucial ones, as it was supposed to be the watchdog to discover & collect evidence to prosecute those who would do this to overthrow the US government. This makes our normal process of removing enemies from our government very difficult for people who rely on government to protect them & who want to use the civilized means of the law to restore their Nation.
TRex says
In the words of Harry Reid: It worked, didn’t it? The pipe bomb ruse was just a part of the overall scam to fire up TDS sufferers, and the MSM. If the FBI came out and admitted the bombs were fake and planted by an FBI agent 95% of the leftists would claim it was “disinformation”.
