Kash Patel promised a new era of transparency at the FBI when he took over as Director.
The Deep State bureaucrats at the bureau thought it was just talk.
And now Kash Patel just handed Jim Jordan smoking gun files that could finally solve the biggest January 6 mystery.
FBI finally turns over critical January 6 pipe bomb documents
For over four years, one of the most disturbing and unexplained aspects of January 6 has been the identity of the mysterious pipe bomber.
Surveillance footage captured an individual in a grey sweatshirt and mask placing pipe bombs at both the Democrat and Republican National Committee headquarters in Washington, D.C.
Despite having video evidence and what should have been a massive investigative priority, the FBI seemingly gave up the search within weeks.
Now, FBI Director Kash Patel has ordered the bureau to turn over a trove of documents related to the pipe bomb investigation to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH).
“As a sign of good faith, we are providing this initial production more than a week ahead of the Committee’s subpoena deadline,” a letter from FBI Assistant Director Marshall Yates to Jordan explained. “But this will not be the last production we will send to satisfactorily comply with the Committee’s subpoena.”
This unprecedented level of cooperation signals a dramatic shift in the bureau’s approach to congressional oversight.
The pipe bomber mystery has baffled Americans for years
The pipe bomb case has sparked intense speculation for good reason.
These explosive devices represented potential catastrophic terror attacks that could have caused mass casualties at the headquarters of both major political parties.
Even more alarming, the bombs sat undetected for hours while pedestrians, including children, passed by – and even more shockingly, while then-Vice President-elect Kamala Harris entered the DNC building.
Police were even observed outside the buildings while the bombs remained undiscovered.
Despite claiming to conduct one of the largest investigations in American history regarding January 6, with over 1,600 Trump supporters arrested, the FBI apparently abandoned the pipe bomb investigation with surprising speed.
A report by Congressional Republicans revealed: “By the end of February 2021, the FBI began diverting resources away from the pipe bomb investigation.”
The report suggested this was possibly due to “the number of credible leads began to decline, no longer requiring as many special agents to cover the workload.”
This explanation has struck many as absurd, given the severity of the threat.
Suspicious gaps in the FBI’s investigation have raised serious questions
The FBI’s handling of the pipe bomb case has raised red flags among lawmakers and Americans alike.
While the bureau used sophisticated cell phone geotargeting data to track down Trump supporters who merely entered the Capitol building, somehow, the data pertaining to the pipe bomber was reportedly corrupted.
The FBI also never interviewed the people who found the pipe bombs.
These investigative failures seem particularly striking when compared to the bureau’s aggressive pursuit of grandmothers who merely stood on Capitol grounds.
Many Americans have long suspected that the FBI’s lack of progress wasn’t due to a shortage of leads, but rather a reluctance to follow where those leads might go.
Some members of Congress have openly speculated that there might be a suspicious government connection to the event.
Jim Jordan has been determined to get to the bottom of this mystery, and Patel’s decision to provide these documents could be the breakthrough needed.
Director Patel signals a new era of accountability
Patel’s decision to comply with Jordan’s subpoena ahead of schedule demonstrates his commitment to reforming the FBI and restoring trust in the institution.
It’s a sharp departure from the bureau’s previous stonewalling tactics.
The release of these documents could potentially reveal whether the FBI’s investigation was incompetent or if there was something more concerning behind their failure to identify the perpetrator.
It might also explain why the bureau was so quick to abandon such a high-profile case involving potential assassination attempts against top officials of both parties.
The contents of these documents remain confidential, but their release to Jordan’s committee means that Americans may finally get answers about one of the most perplexing aspects of January 6.
This cooperation between Patel and Jordan represents exactly what President Trump promised when he nominated Patel to lead the FBI – an end to the weaponization of law enforcement and a commitment to transparency.
Whether these documents will lead to arrests or simply provide clarity on the FBI’s investigation remains to be seen.
But one thing is clear – the days of the FBI operating without accountability appear to be coming to an end.
