BIZARRE new facts about January 6 pipe bombs revealed



Curious new facts have come to light in the January 6 pipe-bomb case, and Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.) isn’t buying the previous narrative that the Biden administration pushed.

“It’s amazing what having an administration that actually wants to get to the truth can do to change a narrative,” Loudermilk tells Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck on “The Glenn Beck Program,” noting that the original premise was that the pipe bombs were placed on the evening of January 5.

“I reached out to the FBI several times during that time period. Of course, the Biden administration, they were not forthcoming with information. Basically, they always use this excuse: ‘This is an ongoing investigation, so we can’t share that information,’” he explains.

“So what we’ve learned through the Trump administration is that story doesn’t fit with the facts that we’re finding. It appears to us … that the pipe bombs had a 60-[minute] egg timer on them,” he continues.


Then Loudermilk recalls receiving a lab report from the FBI on the pipe bombs that said there was no electronic timer.

“The only timer was that 60-minute egg timer. So it’s impossible that these pipe bombs were placed and armed on the night of January 5. They had to be placed at some point not long before they were found on January 6,” he tells Glenn.

A woman who discovered the pipe bomb that was placed near the Republican National Committee headquarters claims that there were still 20 minutes left on the egg timer when she found it.

“So that’s one huge inconsistency,” Loudermilk says.

But that’s not the only inconsistency.

“The other is mysterious data, or data that has mysteriously disappeared. And it was when the FBI was doing geofence searches. They went to all the major cell carriers and asked for all the precise data of people who were in that area on January 5 and 6,” Loudermilk explains.

The only cell carrier that didn’t provide information was AT&T.

“AT&T apparently corrupted the data. Now, we kept hearing that the data was corrupted, and this is in my previous investigation. AT&T claimed they didn’t corrupt the data; the FBI did. The FBI, we found out later, said, ‘No, the data was corrupted when we got it.’ Now that we get the real information, it becomes even more mysterious,” he continues.

This is where an entity known as FirstNet comes in, which was created by Congress after 9/11 to pre-empt cell service for law enforcement.

“So FirstNet actually sits on the AT&T backbone. For some reason — and this is where my suspicion started growing — is when the FBI contacted AT&T, gave them a preservation letter, said, ‘Save all of this data specifically around the areas where the pipe bombs were’ because they have to go through the legal mumbo jumbo to actually get the subpoena,” he explains.

“So they don’t want stuff to disappear. They send a letter telling AT&T to preserve the data. AT&T responds and says, ‘You have to go to FirstNet to get this data.’ Which raises my suspicion. Why are they telling them to go to the carrier just for law enforcement?” he continues.

“Well, according to FirstNet, that data was going to be deleted within just a few hours. So they were in this massive hurry to download all the data before it was deleted, and somehow it just got corrupted,” he says. “I’m not buying the story.”

President Trump says he’s ‘going to take a look at’ fatal Jan. 6 shooting of Ashli Babbitt



President Donald J. Trump said he plans to investigate the “unthinkable” Jan. 6 fatal shooting of Ashli Babbitt and why the U.S. Department of Justice is still opposing the $30 million wrongful-death lawsuit filed by Aaron Babbitt and Judicial Watch.

In a March 25 interview with Greg Kelly of Newsmax, President Trump said he plans to look into Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd, who killed Babbitt from a hidden position, allegedly before even establishing whether she was armed or otherwise a threat. Byrd has said he feared for his life.

'She was innocently standing there.'

Kelly noted that Byrd — who is now a captain assigned to a training role making nearly $190,000 a year — was promoted in 2023 and given a medal by the Biden administration in the wake of the fatal shooting.

“I think it’s a disgrace,” President Trump said. “I’m going to take a look at it. I’m going to look at that, too. His reputation was, I won’t even say. Let’s find out about his reputation, OK? We’re going to find out.”

Trump’s comment seemed a likely reference to a letter released in late 2024 by U.S. Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), who detailed Byrd’s history of alleged aggressive personal behavior and reckless use of his service weapon. Loudermilk, then chairman of the Committee on House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight, said the records of three disciplinary cases against Byrd were somehow missing.

Writing to Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger, Loudermilk said Byrd was given $36,000 in unrestricted funds as a “retention bonus” in 2021, while other Capitol Police officers received around $3,000 each. Byrd was reimbursed for more than $21,000 in security upgrades for his personal residence in Prince George’s County, Md.

Manger recently announced his plans to retire, effective May 2.

Byrd complained bitterly in emails at the slow pace of an ultimately doomed plan to provide him with cash from the Capitol Police Officers Memorial Fund, Loudermilk’s letter said.

Capitol Police paid to house Byrd at the Joint Base Andrews military facility from July 2021 until late January 2022 at a cost of more than $35,000, according to records obtained by Judicial Watch Inc. When he left the base for any reason, Byrd was provided with a Capitol Police dignitary protection detail, which a source told Blaze News could easily cost $425 per hour.

A Blaze News investigation found that Byrd was recommended for termination for a 2001 incident for reportedly abandoning his post in the House Speaker’s Office for a card game in a nearby cloakroom and lying about it to Internal Affairs Division investigators.

House investigators also detailed a case in which Byrd allegedly fired at a fleeing vehicle outside his home, then lied to local police, saying the van was driving directly at him when he fired his Capitol Police service weapon.

President Trump indicated he wasn’t aware that the DOJ continues to oppose the $30 million federal wrongful-death lawsuit filed on Jan. 5, 2024.

“I’ll look into that. You’re just telling me that for the first time,” Trump told Kelly. “I haven’t heard that.

“I’m a big fan of Ashli Babbitt, OK?” Trump said. “Ashli Babbitt was a really good person who was a big MAGA fan, Trump fan, and she was innocently standing there — they even say trying to sort of hold back the crowd — and a man did something to her that was unthinkable when he shot her. I think it’s a disgrace. I’m going to look into that. I did not know that.”

'We’re prepared to fire back at them. We have guns drawn.'

While the legacy media have painted the veteran of 14 years in the U.S. Air Force and several years in the D.C. National Guard as a rioter and insurrectionist, ample video from the hallway where she was shot proves she tried to stop the violence that erupted.

Babbitt shouted at three Capitol Police officers standing outside the Speaker’s Lobby entrance to “call f**king help” as rioter Zachary Alam bashed out the windows leading into the Speaker’s Lobby.

Babbitt eventually put a stop to Alam’s rioting when she planted a left hook on his nose and knocked off his glasses. Seconds later, she tried to climb out a broken window just behind Alam and was immediately shot by Byrd.

Trump’s investigation into the Babbitt shooting will undoubtedly uncover video showing that Byrd didn’t follow through on the shooting by advancing on Babbitt’s position after she fell to determine whether she was an active threat. He fired from a hidden position into a crowd of dozens of people, including seven Capitol Police officers.

Byrd retreated into the seating area of Speaker’s Lobby and within a minute made a false broadcast on police radio claiming that he was under fire and was “prepared to fire back.”

“We got shots fired in the lobby. We got fot [sic], shots fired in the lobby of the House chamber,” Byrd said on Capitol Police radio. “Shots are being fired at us, and we’re prepared to fire back at them. We have guns drawn.”

Aaron Babbitt’s lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch Inc. said that false broadcast delayed medical aid from reaching Ashli Babbitt and created a dangerous situation because incoming officers had no reason to believe this wasn’t still an active-shooter scenario.

“The facts speak truth. Ashli was ambushed when she was shot by Lt. Byrd,” the lawsuit said. “Multiple witnesses at the scene yelled, ‘You just murdered her.’ … Lt. Byrd was never charged or otherwise punished or disciplined for Ashli’s homicide.”

After Judicial Watch filed suit in San Diego, where Ashli Babbitt had lived, the DOJ sought and won a judge’s approval to transfer the case to the District of Columbia federal district court. Judicial Watch is attempting to get the case moved back to San Diego. The decision to move the case to D.C. was issued by a judge before Judicial Watch even had a chance to file opposition. A trial in the Babbitt case is set for July 2026.

President Trump will also likely learn about suspicious individuals in the crowd where Babbitt was shot who have still not been identified 50 months after the shooting. Two of the most prominent have been dubbed “Frick and Frack,” who were escorted out of the Capitol and secretly met with Capitol Police near the edge of Capitol property.

President Trump said his decision to issue pardons to more than 1,500 former Jan. 6 defendants was in large part due to the unfair treatment they received from the DOJ and federal courts.

“They were treated so unfairly, so horribly,” Trump said. “Some of them didn’t even go into the building, and the judges, the system, the hatred, the vitriol, the prosecutors — the way they wanted to just destroy these people.”

Trump described how many defendants went into court in hopes of defending themselves, only to emerge “devastated the way they were treated. Devastated, given years in prison.

“I took care of them,” the president said. “I said that I was going to, and I did.”

Congressional Committee Wants Data FBI Claimed Was ‘Corrupted’ In Unsolved J6 Pipe Bomb Case

At minimum, the FBI should be able to articulate where its investigations led.

BREAKING: J6 Investigation To Move To Judiciary Committee To Help Republicans Uncover FBI Abuses

Mark Levin EXPOSES Liz Cheney and January 6 Committee’s cover-up



You know what they say about lies — they only breed more lies.

Take the “insurrection” that happened on January 6, 2021, as an example. We still don’t know the full truth about what happened that day, but we do know with certainty that we were lied to — repeatedly.

To cover these lies, more lies were needed. Those came in the form of the corrupt January 6 Committee — “the Stalinist Pelosi committee,” Mark Levin calls it.

This committee, we were told, was formed to investigate the events of January 6, but actually the opposite was true — it was formed to cover the events of January 6.

That’s why Pelosi appointed Trump-hating “reprobate Republicans” Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger to the board, Levin explains.

For starters, the committee “sent recommendations with a report to prosecutors at the United States Department of Justice to urge the criminal indictment of Donald Trump on a number of issues,” he recounts. “That is not covered by the Speech and Debate Clause [of the Constitution], in my view.”

According to Levin, the committee members can be prosecuted and charged for this because “it's not [their] official congressional duty to be pushing for criminal charges against somebody in the other branch of government.”

“That is not what the framers considered speech and debate on the floor of the House or the Senate,” he says.

On top of that, the committee “destroyed a ton of data and information.”

“If there's exculpatory information for Donald Trump or anybody else who's been charged and you don't provide it and you have it as a committee, or you destroy it … you've committed a crime; you've committed obstruction,” says Levin.

As Oversight Committee Chairman Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.) pointed out in his report, “that obstruction statute is 18 USC 1512,” which is ironically “the same obstruction statute that [the committee] tried to use against Donald Trump and the January 6ers.”

“Liz Cheney and every member of that committee … need to answer for this,” says Levin. There’s only one reason you “destroy mountains and mountains of data” — “it’s called a cover-up.”

Here Are The Top 10 Lies Of Liz Cheney And The January 6th Committee

A look at the top 10 lies of Liz Cheney and the January 6th Committee four years after the Capitol demonstrations.

Biden Honors Jan. 6 Committee Member Liz Cheney Who Failed To Investigate Unsolved Pipe Bomber, Report Alleges

'The American people still deserve the full truth'

The 4 biggest cover-ups EXPOSED in the latest January 6 report



The House Administration Oversight Subcommittee headed by Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), has released its second and final report on its investigation into the House January 6 Committee — and the contents of it are shocking.

Now Rep. Loudermilk joins Glenn Beck to review four key findings of the Subcommittee’s report.

1. Pipe bomber

According to FBI testimonies, the cell phone carrier that possessed data related to the January 6 pipe bomber was corrupted when the FBI received it. When the agency went back to the carrier to ask for the data again, it was allegedly told that the data was no longer available.

Loudermilk says that they now know this was a lie.

“We went to the three major carriers, asked them all. ... All three of them said, ‘Yes, we were subpoenaed by the FBI, we did provide data.’ All three of them said the FBI never came back to us and asked for the data again, telling us it was corrupted,” he tells Glenn.

When he asked whether these carriers still possessed the data, all three said, “Yes, we keep data for every major event.”

“[The FBI] put very little resources into finding who placed the pipe bombs, but yet they will go to all lengths to find anyone who was around the Capitol. That is not an equal application of the law,” he added.

2. The gallows

“The only thing [Democrats] could run on was January 6 and that Donald Trump is a traitor to our country. We systematically dismantled that, but the one thing that they had was the gallows,” says Loudermilk, adding that the Democratic narrative was that it erected to “hang Mike Pence because he wasn't going to object to the certification of votes.”

“But the thing is, Trump didn't even know what Pence was going to do until 1:00 in the afternoon, and the gallows [were] put up at 6:00 in the morning,” he clarifies.

Further, if someone were to put up a small stand on Capitol property, it would be taken down immediately, so how is it that Capitol Police allowed gallows to remain standing all day?

Loudermilk says that he assigned a team to find out how much investigating the FBI did into the gallows. After asking every government building on the street whether the FBI had contacted it asking for video footage of the truck that transported the materials for the gallows, every single one said no.

“The FBI spent no time looking into who erected the gallows,” says Loudermilk.

3. Liz Cheney

“Liz Cheney should be investigated,” he says bluntly.

Former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson was the “star witness who came in and testified before the select committee twice under oath.”

“The third time, she started changing her first two testimonies, and then the fourth time, she totally came out with all kinds of crazy stories,” says Loudermilk.

What happened between the first two testimonies and the last two?

“She started communicating directly with Liz Cheney,” he says, who ironically referred Donald Trump to the DOJ in July of 2022 to be investigated for “witness tampering.”

Unlike Trump, who was not successful in contacting a witness, “Liz Cheney did communicate with a witness ... and even acknowledged that it was unethical.”

“According to Cassidy Hutchinson, Cheney did recommend her to fire her attorney and that Liz Cheney did help her find a new one,” says Loudermilk.

4. Missing information

Liz Wheeler, sitting in for Stu Burguiere, points to the part of the subcommittee’s report that states, “There was information that was withheld from Liz Cheney and her committee's final report” and “that there was a terabyte of data that was somehow deleted.”

“Do you know what information was held from that final report ... and do you have any way of accessing the deleted data?” she asks.

“Yes, we know what was missing, and we’re releasing it publicly,” Loudermilk says, adding that some of the missing information includes “witness testimonies that exonerated Trump or did not line up with Cassidy Hutchinson’s.”

“As far as deleted documents, we know that they got rid of all the videotapes of all the testimonies, and some of those could have exonerated Stefan Passantino,” he adds.
