FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino signaled that the FBI is making progress on identifying who planted pipe bombs before Jan. 6, 2021, near the Republican and Democratic National Committees’ headquarters.
“The second we got in, I put a team on it and I said, ‘I want answers on this,’” Bongino said during an appearance on Fox & Friends.
“And I’m pretty confident that we’re closing in on some suspects,” he revealed.
The Deputy FBI Director said there was a stark contrast between his approach and that of the Biden administration.
“No one seemed to show any interest in this case,” he said.
The pipe bombs were placed just hours before they became a small part of the broader Jan. 6 events, which saw protesters breach the U.S. Capitol.
Fortunately, the bombs were found before they could be detonated.
Video footage reportedly shows a suspect wearing a gray hoodie placing the bombs.
Department of Justice Pardon Attorney Ed Martin also suggested that the case could be nearing a breakthrough.
Bongino has “breathed new life into the case,” according to Martin.
“Bongino said to the FBI, ‘Change all the agents. Everybody look at it again,’” Martin stated.
In January, the Committee on House Administration’s Subcommittee on Oversight released a report stating that the FBI has still failed to identify the individual responsible for the bombs.
“Nearly four years later, federal law enforcement has yet to identify the individual responsible for planting the pipe bombs, which remains one of the unanswered questions from that day,” the report said.
“In the early weeks of the investigation, the FBI took significant investigative steps, identifying multiple persons of interest, issuing search warrants, reviewing hours of security camera footage, and analyzing the components of the pipe bombs,” the report added.
“Despite the threat the pipe bombs posed to Congress and the public and the role they played in diverting resources away from the Capitol, federal law enforcement has refused to provide substantive updates to Congress about the status of the investigation.”

SPOILER ALERT: We’re going to be “closing in” forever. It’s all a placation tactic.
No one will ever be arrested. No one.
