PREDICTION:
@FBIDirectorKash will try to spin the revealed alleged pipe bomber by either taking credit OR introducing some alternative.
FACTS: Director Patel was on the ground in China when the story broke, and cannot claim credit.
In Jan 2021, my team was assigned to watch the door on the right.
@SteveBakerUSA and team's alleged suspect lived behind the door on the left. (pic4)
We were 15 ft from the right person 5 years ago, and coincidentally were pulled into the office after I asked if we could do a "knock and talk."
NO amount of spin from Marshall Yates
@Patriot_Peanut ,
@_WilliamsonBen,
@FBIDDBongino, or Patel himself should convince you that the FBI had this case under control. But you can 100% set your watch by it that they will weigh in after Patel lands in the DC area from his trip to China.
The ASTRONOMICALLY ridiculous odds that a computer would return a 94% gait analysis match comparing a known soccer player at Temple Univ, an on-duty uniformed USCP officer verified by name, and the unknown subject who allegedly dropped pipe bombs on Jan 5 incorrectly is hard to swallow.
Then consider this person that matched the computer analysis ALSO lived under the same ROOF as a person of interest that the FBI had ID'ed within about a week of the incident, and pulled surveillance assets off.
Now consider a team of journalists without government funding, government data bases, subpoena power, or the $11B law enforcement mission to find the most terroristic actor on what they called the "worst day since 9/11" succeeded where the previous FBI Director AND THE CURRENT MANAGEMENT failed.
This failure should result in Patel and Bongino resigning. This woman was armed and in the same room as our previous and current President. Even if they were duped by those still in the FBI, it could have been a FATAL mistake for
@realDonaldTrump.
Former ADIC of
@FBIWFO Steve D'Antuano told
@RepThomasMassie without being asked about me that I had gotten the info wrong. He claimed inaccurately that the pipe bombs were "viable" despite common knowledge within the FBI's SABT program and Counter IED unit that they were NOT. I am on record saying this to press in May 2023.
The Pro-MAGA cheerleaders will circle their wagons behind Bongino, Patel, and Co because "these are our guys." Well - "our guys" failed so magnificently, they could have gotten Trump killed by an active-duty CIA protection detail member. And they got SCOOPED by a journalist their agency arrested for being a journalist on J6 despite their best efforts to thwart him.
I don't care if we still have an FBI next week. But if we do - we can't have it run by people who promised since day 1 they would solve a case that a couple of indy jouros cracked without access to the case files. Baker and team deserve a
@PulitzerPrizes. Anyone who helped this woman before, during, or after deserves to be interrogated and charged.
Now watch the excuses, spin, and deflections. Bookmark it.
